* chore: Fix typo
* chore: Apply explicit chroot default for `sender-cleanup`
The implicit default is set to `y` as a compatibility fallback, but otherwise it is [advised to set to `n` going forward](http://www.postfix.org/COMPATIBILITY_README.html#chroot).
Test was changed to catch any backwards-compatibility logs, not just those for `chroot=y`. `using` added as a prefix to avoid catching log message whenever a setting is changed that the default compatibility level is active.
* chore: Set `compatibility_level` in `main.cf`
We retain the level`2` value previously set via scripts. This avoids log noise that isn't helpful.
Applied review feedback to give maintainers some context with this setting and why we have it presently set to `2`.
Presently relay-host support modifies `main.cf` settings directly. This adjusts the default transport (`smtp`) which other transports in `master.cf` inherit from.
When configuring for implicit TLS to a `relay-host` this would set `main.cf:smtp_tls_wrappermode = yes` and affect the transport `master.cf:smtp-amavis` which does not set an override like it does for `smtp_tls_security_level`. This causes Amavis to fail working which the default transport relies on due to `main.cf:content_filter`.
Easy fix, by explicitly adding the override `smtp_tls_wrappermode=no`.`no` is default in `main.cf` so inheriting this setting hasn't been a problem in the past for other relay-hosts using StartTLS.
This was all introduced by the original project author early on, no explanation for it.
- None of the paths they use as `argv` values exist.
- `uucp` doesn't seem relevant to the project. No justification for it, no issues or PRs in project history or codebase.

* Introduced Postscreen
cheaper, earlier and simpler blocking of zombies/spambots.
From http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/POSTSCREEN_README.html :
As a first layer, postscreen(8) blocks connections from zombies and other spambots that are responsible for about 90% of all spam. It is implemented as a single process to make this defense as cheap as possible.
Things we need to consider:
- Do we need a whitelist/backlist file? (http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/postconf.5.html#postscreen_access_list)
- Via introducing an optional config/postfix-access.cidr
- The only permanent whitelisting I could imagine are monitoring services(which might (still?) behave weird/hastely) or blacklisting backup servers(since no traffic should be coming from them anyway)
- Do we need deep inspections? They are desireable, but these tests are expensive: a good client must disconnect after it passes the test, before it can talk to a real Postfix SMTP server. Considered tests are:
- postscreen_bare_newline_enable (http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/postconf.5.html#postscreen_bare_newline_action)
- postscreen_non_smtp_command_enable (http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/postconf.5.html#postscreen_non_smtp_command_action)
- postscreen_pipelining_enable (http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/postconf.5.html#postscreen_pipelining_action)
- Do we need to make the blacklisting via dnsblocking configurable? It's currently set and weighted as follows, where a score of 3 results in blocking, a score of -1 results in whitelisting:
(*: adds the specified weight to the SMTP client's DNSBL score. Specify a negative number for whitelisting.)

- list.dnswl.org=127.0.[0..255].1*-3
- list.dnswl.org=127.0.[0..255].[2..3]*-4
- What to do when blacklisting? I currently set it to drop. We could
- ignore: Ignore the failure of this test. Allow other tests to complete. Repeat this test the next time the client connects. This option is useful for testing and collecting statistics without blocking mail.
- enforce: Allow other tests to complete. Reject attempts to deliver mail with a 550 SMTP reply, and log the helo/sender/recipient information. Repeat this test the next time the client connects.
- drop: Drop the connection immediately with a 521 SMTP reply. Repeat this test the next time the client connects.
In the end I think we could drop postgrey support. Postscreen replaces postgrey in its entirety, while being more selective and not delaying mail. Especially if we consider using the deep inspection options of postscreen.
Hope that wasn't too much to read! ;)
* main.cf got misformatted..
Don't know how, should be ok now.
* fixed malformatted main.cf & repaired master.cf
* reenabled rbl stuff.. It's cached, therefore doesn't hurt
* fixed tests
* added tests, repaired tests, added info, introduced new Variable POSTSCREEN_ACTION, fixes
The dovecot-sieve plugin is installed and configured to apply sieve
as soon as a .dovecot.sieve file is encountered in the virtual user's
home directory (that is /var/mail/${domain}/${username}/.dovecot.sieve).
Transport has been changed in the postfix configuration to use
Dovecot LDA (see http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix) to actually
enable sieve filtering.
Tests have been added.
