Outdated option in relay entry for master.cf

Bug Description

Binary package hint: postfix

The fallback_relay parameter was renamed to smtp_fallback_relay in Postfix 2.3. The relay entry in master.cf was not updated to match (-o fallback_relay=), and as a result, routing loops can occur. This is explained in full here:

A simple corrective patch is attached. It has also been submitted to the postfix-devel list for consideration.

Good report. Marked importance low since fallback_relay still works.
