Finally! Thanks for pointing it out, I missed that.


I'll make a small change for 2.4.2 to accomodate it, should not affect
normal cases:

- Postfix since version 20060610 uses xtext-encoded (rfc3461) strings in
  XCLIENT and XFORWARD attribute values, previous versions used plain text
  with neutered special characters - amavisd-new now xtext-decodes value
  if it looks xtext encoded, and encodes it on sending; the change could
  affect exotic host names (e.g. with a plus in host name) from broken
  mailers or DNS;
