Last night my postfix install got updated as part of a (long overdue) 
system-update. What happened was that the postfix that was running was the 
old 2.0.16 version, and the new one was 2.1.4. So, I'd get an email, and the 
old one packages it up or whatever, and passes it on to a program from the 
new install, which promptly chokes on this unexpected format. And 
fortunately, spits it back up into /var/spool/postfix/corrupted. So about 12 
hours later, I begin to wonder why my email is so silent, and figure it out. 
When upgrading between these postfix versions, you *must* restart the server 
as soon as possible. Ideally before any mail goes through. If you don't do 
this, then I have written a script that will reinsert the queue files back 
into the system for you. It is at http://www.kallisti.net.nz/PostInject
