Some LMTP servers (like dovecot) can't handle UTF8 addresses in the LMTP
commands. This can be problematic if we want to use them with UTF8
domains or usernames, which are well supported by chasquid.
To help workaround this issue, this patch adds a new -to_puny flag for
mda-lmtp, that makes it encode `from` and `recipient` in punycode.
That way, the server will get punycode-encoded (ASCII) strings in the
LTMP commands.
This can be particularly convenient when the recipients are ASCII
(because they're under the mail server control), but `from` may not be
(because it comes from the network).
This patch adds some tooling and scripts to generate test coverage
information.
Unfortunately, this involves some hacks as Go does not have support for
generating coverage-enabled binaries, or merging coverage reports; but
overall it's not very intrusive.
Either the recipient or from addresses can be "<>" to indicate the null
address. mda-lmtp does not handle that well, as it sends "<<>>" which is
invalid.
This patch fixes that by special-casing them, which is unfortunate but
reasonably common.
mda-lmtp is a very basic MDA that uses LMTP to do the mail delivery.
It takes command line arguments similar to maildrop or procmail, reads an
email via standard input, and sends it over the given LMTP server.
Supports connecting to LMTP servers over UNIX sockets and TCP.
Since chasquid does not support direct LMTP local delivery, this can be
used as a workaround instead.
Example of use:
$ mda-lmtp --addr localhost:1234 -f juan@casa -d jose < email
