This is a usability problem that I think should be addressed in
Postfix 3.4. Either we provide a tool that produces the expected
inputs, or we add code to recognize and ignore known-harmless
objects that appear in output from other tools.
I think that adding code to ignore known-harmless content is
the safer approach because it makes Postfix interoperable with
other tools.
What other examples of known-harmless content can people expect to
see? Should the list be configurable? If all these blobs embedded
beween lines
-----BEGIN TYPE OF OBJECT-----
-----END TYPE OF OBJECT-----
then it can be purely mechanical.
