FreeBSD Port: simscan, qmail ports

Hi,

This is a combined request.

Please upgrade the simscan port to 1.2 and add the possiblity to compile
simscan with "--enable-custom-reject" switch. This allows users to get much
more information about why their message was rejected (in case a seemingly
good mail is rejected for some reason).

Custom error feature is described in Simscan Wiki.
http://qmailwiki.inter7.com/Simscan/Guide#Custom_Reject_Option

This also needs a patch (qmail-queue-custom-error.patch) to be applied to
qmail source. The default version of this patch comes with simscan and is
located in "contrib" directory. Unfortunately the default version is not
compatible with QMAILQUEUE patch which means that a combined patch must be
applied if both patches are needed.

The qmail.c, patched with both QMAILQUEUE and custom error patches, can be
found here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.qmail.simscan/1395

More about this issue:

I know that this is a bit complicated request but when it's done, it will
add a great value to these two ports.

With best regards,
Jan-Erik Moon
