Dear Maintainer,

I made a qemu autopkg testbed by debci setup -f -s sid -a amd64 -b qemu.
Then autopkgtest -U -B -u debci postfix -- qemu always fails with


...F...........
======================================================================
FAIL: test_10_sending_mail_direct_auth (__main__.PostfixTest)
Mail authentication
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/autopkgtest.4Xod7n/build.X4K/src/debian/tests/test-postfix.py", line 328, in test_10_sending_mail_direct_auth
    self.assertRaises(smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError, self.s.login, 'root', 'crapcrapcrap')
AssertionError: SMTPAuthenticationError not raised by login
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems a real error in postfix.
On the other hand, the testsuite always passes on the lxc testbed and ci.debian.net.
If the maintainer considers this as a bug in autopkgtest, please reassign this.

The log is attached.

Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto
