[fdo] [ADMIN] Mail move, some weirdness

Hi all,
Pascal Hakim and I have just moved our mail system to Postfix, from Exim
4. This was largely to ease our admin load, so we could help in
despamming. We've already implemented support for XBL and SBL, as well
as grey-listing.

Unfortunately, there was a window of about 2 hours where mail was being
accepted, but the LDAP recipient map was not active. As a result, some
mail spooled in /var/mail, and I had to go through by hand and run them
through sendmail. Postfix was being very funny with some of these, so
they all had to go through without X-Original-To or Delivered-To
headers.

So, if some of you have broken filtering, duplicate mails or anything, I
apologise; all current and future deliveries through SMTP are/will be
perfectly normal, but your queued mail came through a little mangled.

Cheers!
:) d
