hi,

i tried to compile postfix 2.8.3 running a 3.0_rc2 kernel (on gentoo), and it failed with the error:

ATTENTION: Unknown system type: Linux 3.0.0-rc2

however, when i edited the makedefs file, everything compiled just fine.
not sure if this is good fix, but either way here's my quick-and-dirty patch ;)

                then

i only did a quick search in the mailinglist's archive so if someone has already reported this please ignore.

take care
