nofatal cannot be made default as per configuration (well, it can
but this would add perl "exception"-code to the standard config).
But Henrik sent me the postgrey way of avoiding this. At least this
way the master doesn't die - but the information which should be logged
won't be logged.
I think I will try an eval loop and if that fails after some runs we
log to the console. Don't know whether that is cleanly portable, though.
