Postfix add-on software

Postfix is Wietse Venema's mailer that started life as an alternative to the widely-used Sendmail program. Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and secure, while at the same time being sendmail compatible enough to not upset existing users. Thus, the outside has a sendmail-ish flavor, but the inside is completely different.

My patch

This is a Postfix patch allowing a bit more customization (and so, for example, translation) of what it send out to the user.
For example it allows you to translate bounce and delay messages sent out by the mail system when it encounter an error or a problem during mail delivery process. The body of those emails can be specified either as a configuration directive or in standalone text files and macros (i.e. other configuration directives, such as ${myhostname}) will be expanded during notice composition.
Additionally you can configure the line that is sent out in response to the QUIT command.
It modifies the sample-misc.cf and sample-smtpd.cf files in the configuration samples collection. Also the man pages are patched to describe new features.
Please, realize that I wrote this patch for my own needs and I distribute it here in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
