Thanks, that will be all. And thanks for testing so thoroughly.
I will update the source/documentation for the supported Postfix
versions (2.[3-7]).

With non-emergency problems, I release new versions for the current
stable Postfix (that's 2.6 at the moment) every couple months (last
time was June 2009), and every half year for the supported older
releases (last time was May 2009).
I try to avoid driving people crazy with frequent releases that
fix problems only for very specific configurations.
I don't like doing bug patches outside releases. It creates chaos.
