Install PostSRSd 2.4 on Debian 12
Debian 12 ships PostSRSd 1.10. The current release is 2.4.1. freshdeb builds it for bookworm from upstream's release with Debian's packaging, so it replaces the distribution's package in place and updates with apt upgrade like the rest of the system.

3Install
sudo apt update && sudo apt install postsrsd
apt policy postsrsd # expect 2.4.1-2+freshdeb~deb12Already on Debian 12's PostSRSd? The same command upgrades it: the freshdeb version sorts higher. What's different from Debian's package.
Upgrading from PostSRSd 1.10
What changed between Debian 12's 1.10 and 2.4.1 that you may notice. Configuration and data stay where Debian put them.
- Since 2.0
- PostSRSd 2 reads
/etc/postsrsd.confinstead of/etc/default/postsrsd. The upgrade carries your settings over (domains, secret, separator, hash lengths, user, chroot) and keeps the secret, so addresses 1.x rewrote still reverse. Postfix needs a change the package can't make: 2.x answerssocketmap:lookups on/var/spool/postfix/srsinstead oftcp:tables on ports 10001 and 10002. In/etc/postfix/main.cf, setsender_canonical_maps = socketmap:unix:srs:forwardandrecipient_canonical_maps = socketmap:unix:srs:reverse, keep the classes, and reload Postfix. Until then Postfix defers mail and retries it later.
Going back to 1.10
Delete /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freshdeb-postsrsd.sources, run sudo apt update, then sudo apt install postsrsd=1.10-2+b1: apt asks before it downgrades. PostSRSd 1.x reads /etc/default/postsrsd again, which the upgrade leaves in place, and Postfix needs its tcp: lines back.
Why a package
The upstream source builds with CMake, but then the service, the user, the chroot and the AppArmor profile are yours to set up. This is Debian's package, with all of that, at upstream's current release.
