No control variable which can be set in an acl_smtp_connect ACL? :)

Existing variable names suggest $proxy_host_address for the first
variable, since _host/_hosts tends to be for hostlist consumers. This
reduces problems with people expecting to see DNS hostnames.

Given $sender_host_address and $sender_host_port, that would suggest
$proxy_host_address and $proxy_host_port.

Does this work?

proxy_required_hosts = !@[] : *

Is anyone working on LX2 or any other means of handling logging? You've
just taken the last available LX slot. You were right to do so, but it
does leave us with a problem.

64-bit log_extra_selector variable? Something else? Bit-field
array manipulation such as we use for D_* debug variables?

12 for sig ...

Do you need to use any pragmas on struct definition to ensure that it's
always aligned, on allocation, such that the ver will immediately follow
on from the sig? I suspect that some linters will complain.

So the assumption is that the sender fully constructs the buffer and
sends it in one write(), so we always see the entire thing? I see from
<http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt> that the
sender is required to do this, but also that receivers are recommended
to be more tolerant. This is a reasonable choice, but should be called
out in the experimental doc as a design choice.

Should you be coercing smtp_enforce_sync on for proxy hosts? How does
smtp_enforce_sync being set false interact with this?

That flushes to the end of the next \n line. Is that really what is
wanted at this point?
