The issue I fixed today would affect any postfix build with an OpenLDAP API
at least as far back as OpenLDAP 2.1. What postfix revisions you fix are
entirely up to you of course, and I think reasonably I wouldn't expect you
to fix unsupported postfix releases, but it is not limited to the OpenLDAP
2.4 API.
