i think the thread speaks for itself. go back and review it, you'll see that i
stuck to arguing about the relative merits of the software (i.e. "the issues")
while you launched into a personal attack.

1. hashes, by definition, have no order.
2. hashes imply unique keys (aka headers). that's not a requirement or an
attribute of message headers. e.g. multiple Received: headers.
3. postfix's header_checks are intended to be simple and straight-forward.
scanning line-by-line avoids the need to allocate arbitrarily large amounts of
memory to store and search the entire block of headers, and more to store the
headers of mime attachments. if you want more complex filtering then use a
postfix content filter - that's what they're for.

4. nope, wrong (again).
