relax ORCPT syntax validation We expected the ORCPT parameter to be a valid rfc822 address. This is wrong on multiple levels: - any other IANA-registered "addr-type" can be used - the parameter may be encoded and we didn't decode it prior validation - RFC3461 explicitly states that "[..] the address associated with the ORCPT keyword is NOT constrained to conform to the syntax rules for that 'addr-type'". Instead, just validate the xtext and preserve the ORCPT value as-is. Issue originally reported by Tim Kuijsten, Tassilo Philipp and others. ok millert@

Much much improved config parser and related changes. Simplify code and do not impose an order on conditions and rule options. Format changes that may require smtpd.conf update for some setups: - SSL certificates are no longer automatically loaded, but must be explicitely declared using the "pki" keyword. - "certificate" option becomes "pki" in listener and accept rules. - "ssl://" becomes "secure://" in relay via rules. - "helo" becomes "hostnames" in relay rules New features: - accept rules do not need an explicit action, in which case alias table or .forward must provide one. - new "forward-only" action to force relaying and reject rcpts that expand as local delivery. - "!" (negation) modifier on rule matching conditions. - new "recipient" rule matching condition. - new "verify" option on listeners and relay rules to reject invalid certificates. Other changes: - remember the helo name advertised on incoming mail and use it for sending bounces. - bump envelope version (existing envelopes are updated on-the-fly).
