Bug Description
With the recent merge to postfix 3 there were quite some changes to its configuration.
Now postfix has a lot to handle those changes in a compatible way so that old configurations should transfer to postfix 3 as good as possible.
In case any incompatibilities occur it reports that in the log and refers to http://
While all that is great for anyone migrating from an old system with any kind of custom config, there is not much sense in throwing all these messages out at someone that just freshly installed it.
To Reproduce just:
apt-get remove --purge postfix
apt-get install postfix
in /var/log/mail.log:
Feb 24 11:08:35 lap postfix[25109]: Postfix is running with backwards-
Feb 24 11:08:35 lap postfix[25109]: See http://

Feb 24 11:08:35 lap postfix/
Feb 24 11:08:35 lap postfix/
[...] there are more like those
So overall I'd suggest we deliver default configuration files that match a valid (not only due to backward compatibility) postfix 3 configuration.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
