New port: mail/postforward: Postfix SRS forwarding agent

Postforward is a mail forwarding utility which aims to compliment the Postfix
Sender Rewriting Scheme daemon (mail/postsrsd).

The downside of using PostSRSd is that all mail is naively rewritten, even when
no forwarding is actually performed. Such rewritten Return-Path addresses may
confuse sieve scripts and other mail filtering software.

This is where Postforward comes in. Instead of rewriting all incoming mail
regardless of final destination, mail systems may be configured to pipe mail
into Postforward only when forwarding needs to happen, leaving non-forwarded
mail unaltered by PostSRSd. Postforward will rewrite envelope addresses for
piped mail using PostSRSd itself and re-inject these messages back into the
queue, destined for the forwarding recipient(s).
