Summary:  critical: SMTP client in cfexecd broken

Original Submission:  Hi,

the SMTP client code in cfexecd is broken; it violates
the SMTP protocol and is unable to mail through Postfix
servers with reject_unauth_pipelining enabled:

1. it MUST wait for and read the server's greeting line before sending its own 
commands (otherwise, Postfix servers configured with reject_unauth_pipelining 
will NOT accept the mail for relay.)

2. it MUST read the responses and stop mailing if it sees an error response 
from the server.

I am attaching a patch to remedy this; it's only lightly tested (only on my 
SuSE Linux 8.1 machine).
