Log Message:
Updated mail/postfix to 2.4.0

The footprint of new features with Postfix 2.4.0 is significantly
smaller than with earlier releases. And that is the whole point of
approaching completeness: fewer visible changes.

Below is a brief summary of what has changed.  See the RELEASE_NOTES
file for more, including compatibility issues that may affect your
site. The HISTORY file gives a blow-by-blow account of what happened
over the past year.

	Wietse

- Postfix can now manage thousands of connections without needing
special main.cf, master.cf, or compile-time tweaks, on systems with
BSD kqueue, Solaris /dev/poll, or Linux epoll support.

- Milter support for message body replacement. The resulting queue
files are backwards compatible with Postfix 2.3. The existing Milter
support for message header manipulations was revised and is now
implemented by much simpler code.

- Minor improvements in TLS session cache management and in the
implementation of certificate fingerprint based authentication.  A
more extensive revision of TLS internals will appear first in Postfix
2.5 snapshots.

- Improvements in queue manager performance when deferring large
amounts of mail, or when delivering mail with lots of recipients.

- Workarounds for SMTP servers that reply and hang up prematurely,
for file system clocks that are out of sync, and for broken kernel
lock management in POP servers.
