Port notes:

WARNING: Postfix security relies on POSIX features that could not be fully
emulated on Windows.  Please do NOT use this port of postfix in security
critical environments.

Known issues:
- This port is vulnerable to attacks via TCP localhost because it needs to
disable the handshake of the Cygwin AF_UNIX emulation.

- During service shutdown, the postfix master logs:
"fatal: master_sigdeath: kill process group: No such process."
This is harmless and could be ignored.

- '/usr/sbin/postmap FILE' fails with 'seteuid(UID): Operation not permitted'
if run with admin rights but the FILE owner (UID) is neither the current user,
nor SYSTEM (18) nor Administrator (544).
Workaround: Change the FILE owner, or run postmap without admin rights, or store
the password of the FILE owner to registry with 'passwd -R'.

- '/usr/sbin/postsuper' fails with 'rename file ...: Operation not permitted'
if a new subdirectory needs to be created for an existing queue file.
Workaround: Store password of $mail_owner to registry with 'passwd -R'.

See '/etc/postfix/main.cf' sample and 'postfix-config --dryrun' output
for further info.
