Bug Description

Binary package hint: postal

A new version (0.65) of postal is available in unstable. Changelog:

postal (0.65) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added new program bhm to listen on port 25 and send mail to /dev/null.
    This allows testing mail relay systems.
  * Fixed a minor bug in reporting when compiled without SSL.
  * Made postal write the date header in correct RFC2822 format.
  * Removed the name-expansion feature, it confused many people and is not
    needed now that desktop machines typically have 1G of RAM.
    Now postal and rabid can have the same user-list file.
  * Moved postal-list into the bin directory.
  * Changed the thread stack size to 32K (used to be the default of 10M) to
    save virtual memory size (not that this makes much difference to
    anything other than the maximum number of threads on i386).
  * Added a minimum message size option to Postal.
  * Added a Postal option to specify a list of sender addresses separately to
    the list of recipient addresses.
  * Removed some unnecessary error messages.
  * Handle EINTR to allow ^Z and "bg" from the command line. I probably
    don't handle all cases, but now that I agree that failure to handle ^Z is
    an error I expect bug reports.
  * Made the test programs display output on the minute, previously they
    displayed once per minute (EG 11:10:35) while now it will be 11:10:00.
    This also means that the first minute reported will have something less
    than 60 seconds of data - this does not matter as a mail server takes
    longer than that to get up to speed.
  * Added support for GNUTLS and made the Debian package build with it.
    Note that BHM doesn't yet work correctly with TLS.
  * Made the programs exit cleanly.

We can discard the ubuntu changes on this package because they were only rebuild against new versions of librairies
It builds fine in a feisty pbuilder, log attached
