Subject: postfix: Postfix ignores strict_8bitmime_body=no

From: Dennis Boone <[email-masked]>

Package: postfix
Version: 2.7.1-1+squeeze1
Severity: normal

With:

strict_8bitmime = no
strict_8bitmime_body = no
strict_7bit_headers = yes

in main.cf, postfix rejects messages with 8bit text in the body.  The
sample message which follows shows the typical case, which is a nested
message/rfc822.  Turning off strict_7bit_headers appears to remove the
problem.  Unless I'm missing something, postfix shouldn't be digging
into the body at all with these settings.
