./mail/postfix, Postfix SMTP server and tools

Branch: pkgsrc-2009Q1, Version: 2.5.7, Package name: postfix-2.5.7, Maintainer: martti

Postfix aims to be an alternative to the widely-used sendmail
program. Sendmail is responsible for 70% of all e-mail delivered
on the Internet. With an estimated 100 million users, that's an
estimated 10 billion (10^10) messages daily. A stunning number.

Although IBM supported the Postfix development, it abstains from
control over its evolution. The goal is to have Postfix installed
on as many systems as possible. To this end, the software is given
away with no strings attached to it, so that it can evolve with
input from and under control by its users.

In other words, IBM releases Postfix only once. I will be around
to guide its development for a limited time.

Log message:
Updated mail/postfix to 2.5.7

- (low) The installation/upgrade procedure did not automatically
   create the data_directory.

- (medium) In the "new queue manager", the _destination_rate_delay
   code needed to postpone the job scheduler updates after delivery
   completion, otherwise the scheduler could loop on blocked jobs.

- (low) The queue manager used <transport>_concurrency_failed_cohort_limit
   instead of <transport>_destination_concurrency_failed_cohort_limit
   as documented.

- (low) The SMTP client disabled MIME parsing despite non-empty
   settings for smtp_header_checks, smtp_mime_header_checks,
   smtp_nested_header_checks, or smtp_body_checks.

- (medium) The postsuper command re-enabled the SIGHUP signal when
   it was set to "ignore". This could result in random "Postfix
   integrity check failed" errors at boot time (POSIX SIGHUP death),
   causing Postfix not to start automatically.
