Newer Postfix versions log a warning and refuse the mail with as
reason a server configuration error. That is, they err on the safe

Older versions logged a warning which of course no-one noticed
but let the mail pass.

I've tried to make Postfix less tolerant of mistakes, hopefully
that will help. Now all you have to do is watch the logfile when
Postfix throws up a tantrum.
