AMaViS-ng 0.1.6.x and postfix: possible open relay and mail loss (fwd)

[Mariano Absatz]

It's suuuuuuch a gooooooood idea to NOT write SMTP server code every time you 
want to do something in a mail server...

Having such a bunch of good to excelent mail servers developed by people that 
are mostly dedicated to it, it doesn't make sense to write another one just 
because you want to develope an antispam or antivirus or any other thing you 
might want to do with mail....
