postfix: multi-IP warmup sending pool (20 IPs, gradual rotation)

- 20 IPs (.90-.109 / mta01-mta20) with FCrDNS + SPF in HestiaCP
- .90 (mta01) dedicated Yahoo/AOL recovery IP (yahooslow, 20s trickle)
- .91-.109 (out02-out20) rotation pool via transport_maps randmap
- pw-mta-warmup: cron-driven scheduler grows the active rotation pool
  3 -> 5 -> 8 -> 12 -> 16 -> 19 IPs over ~25 days
- mta_setup.sh: idempotent installer (backups + postfix-check-gated reload)

New IPs verified clean on Spamhaus/Barracuda/SpamCop/SORBS.

# Postfix IP-warmup scheduler.

# Gradually expands the outbound sending-IP rotation pool over a warmup window,
# so we don't blast 20 brand-new IPs at consumer ISPs on day one (which looks
# like snowshoe spam and torches reputation).
#
# IP layout:
# .90 / mta01 -> dedicated Yahoo/AOL recovery IP (transport: yahooslow)
# .91-.109 / mta02-mta20 -> rotation pool (transports: out02..out20)
#
# transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport, randmap:{<active pool>}
# - hash routes yahoo/aol -> yahooslow (the dedicated .90 trickle)
# - randmap round-robins the source IP across the *active* rotation pool
#
# This script (run daily by cron) recomputes the active pool from the warmup
# start date and reloads Postfix only when the pool changes. It never shrinks.
#
# Run once with `--start` to stamp the start date.
