Client Certificate check and panic while trying to contact the SMTPAccess Policy Delegation

Hello,

I set TLS encryption with Postfix, everything is working fine.
But I wanted to check the MAIL FROM address with the data from the
client certificate.

So I followed the advices given in this thread :
http://groups.google.com/group/list....e_thread/threa...

According to Victor Duchovni, a possible solution was to use a SMTPD
Policy Server and use the client CN to make access decisions.
So I configured my installation to use one, and proceed to some tests.

With my first Client certificate whith a CN, I had no problems. The
Policy Server is correctly contacted.

But with my second test Client Certificate, with no CN provided, I
encountered the following bug :

# LOG /var/mail/mail.log

Mar 19 12:07:24 smtp-tls postfix/master[13978]: warning: process /usr/

With the second test Client Certificate, when I deactivate the
check_policy_service I had no problems. The mail is successfully sent.

Any idea? is my postfix version outdated?

Thank you,

Henri
