Package: postgrey
Version: 1.27-1
Severity: minor

Hej,
I have recently switched to postgrey (thanks for including exim
support so quickly), however nowadays I get regular mail from
logwatch.

Jul 28 16:22:21 m26s25 postgrey[12793]: warning: Use of uninitialized value in 
string eq at /usr/sbin/postgrey line 241.  

I have googled a little bit and found a thread on upstream's list
ending with http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/postgrey/msg00444.html
"It really sounds like something specific with your system thats
causing one of the values to be undef.  The author of postgrey has
done an excellent job and nobody else has reported the warning that I
can recall on this list."

However this seems to be easily reproducible after adding --delay=20
to POSTGREY_OPTS in  /etc/default/postgrey (otherwise waiting takes
too long) by
while : ; do socat  STDIO TCP4:127.0.0.1:60000 < /tmp/postgrey.in ; sleep 5 ; 
done

with /tmp/postgrey.in containing

The syslog stays clean while postgrey returns
action=DEFER_IF_PERMIT Greylisted, ...
however when it sends
action=PREPEND X-Greylist: ...
this appears:
