tron 16d67a18c4 Import Postfix 2.11.1. The main changes since version 2.10.* are:
- Support for PKI-less TLS server certificate verification with DANE
  (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities) where the CA public key
  or the server certificate is identified via DNSSEC lookup. This
  requires a DNS resolver that validates DNSSEC replies. The problem
  with conventional PKI is that there are literally hundreds of
  organizations world-wide that can provide a certificate in anyone's
  name. DANE limits trust to the people who control the target DNS
  zone and its parent zones.
- A new postscreen_dnsbl_whitelist_threshold feature to allow clients
  to skip postscreen tests based on their DNSBL score. This can
  eliminate email delays due to "after 220 greeting" protocol tests,
  which otherwise require that a client reconnects before it can
  deliver mail. Some providers such as Google don't retry from the
  same IP address, and that can result in large email delivery delays.
- The recipient_delimiter feature now supports different delimiters,
  for example both "+" and "-". As before, this implementation
  recognizes exactly one delimiter character per email address, and
  exactly one address extension per email address.
- Advanced master.cf query/update support to access service attributes
  as "name = value" pairs. For example to turn off chroot on all
  services use "postconf -F '*/*/chroot = n'", and to change/add a
  "-o name=value" setting use "postconf -P 'smtp/inet/name = value'".
  This was developed primarily to allow automated tools to manage Postfix
  systems without having to parse Postfix configuration files.
