Postfix 2.2 Patch 09

Postfix 2.2.9 was released a few days ago. This is mostly a collection
of back-ported fixes from the Postfix 2.3 development branch.

Most of this patch hardens the TLS implementation against DNS-based
attacks, and eliminates some anomalies from the TLS per-site policy
engine. See the TLS_README document for tips on how to avoid
DNS-based attacks that can change the server hostname that Postfix
uses for logging, for TLS per-site policies, and for server
certificate verification.

The patch also adds a workaround that prevents Postfix from repeatedly
trying to deliver mail to domains with a malformed MX record (for
example, with a null MX hostname). Postfix 2.2.9 bounces such mail
immediately.
