Instead of logging a warning when it receives an unexpected
protocol message?
Postfix could require that the 'first' message between Postfix
programs(*) contains the protocol name (enqueue, bounce, deliver,
verify, ...). That way, the warning message for a protocol mis-match
could be made more informative.

(*) Or more general: every message that can be the first message
after a connection is made between Postfix programs.
