- This code must be documented.

- All memory leaks must be fixed.

- Templates should be cached in memory, instead of opening lots of
files each time mail is bounced.

- This code must not break when someone turns on/off chroot.  This
is another reason why template texts should be loaded into memory
once, before the process enters the chroot jail.

- This code must not use post_mail_fputs() etc. for multi-line
output. Postfix does not store record terminator characters in
queue files. Doing so breaks output processing. Apart from that
it's wrong to assume that \r\n is always valid.

- This code produces malformed mail when the bounce template contains
non-ASCII text. The code should either reject non-ASCII text or it
should produce non-ASCII text with the proper MIME type and encoding.
