Postfix 1.1 Patch 03 (medium)

[Wietse Venema]

Postfix version 1.1 Patch 03 eliminates one case of too defensive
programming, adds one safety net, adds several workarounds, and
cleans up some more documentation.

- The Postfix SMTP server could abort with a fatal error message
because some Berkeley DB versions cannot handle SMTPD access map
lookups of the null address. The workaround is to use <> as lookup
key.  This patch changes the smtpd_null_access_lookup_key default
value from the empty string to <>.

- The Postfix cleanup daemon could abort with a panic message when
a malformed address (user en .) was run through a canonical map.  This
patch eliminates some overly defensive code. The "problem" is now
ignored like it used to be.

- On Linux, local mail submission could fail with mysterious error
messages because either /usr/lib/sendmail or /usr/sbin/sendmail
came from an obsolete Postfix release. This patch adds an extra
test to "postfix check", and suggests a fix when a problem is found.

- On SCO UNIX, the queue manager would abort with a fatal error.
This patch turns off the input rate control mechanism for SCO,
because of unexpected limitations in the SCO kernel.

As usual, the patch and a patched source code will be made available
