This would be indeed nice and a very reasonable solution. The default
could still be the relaxed configuration but it would be easy to get a
tighter setup without digging too deep into the postfix configuration.

We'd probably add some big fat warnings to the tighter configuration
but I think it would be a good way to let the Kolab Server admins
profit from the different policies people currently use with the Kolab
server at different sites.

Cheers,

Gunnar
