To send mails, today some tests use msmtp and others our internal smtpc.py.
This works, but msmtp slows down the tests significantly, and smtpc.py
is also not particularly fast, and also has some limitations.
This patch introduces a new SMTP client tool written in Go, and makes
almost all the tests use it.
Some tests still remain on msmtp, mainly for client-check compatibility.
It's likely that this will be moved in later patches to a separate
special-purpose test.
With this patch, integration tests take ~20% less time than before.
Python 2 is approaching end of life, and we only need it to run
the mail_diff test utility.
This patch updates mail_diff to run on Python 3, which only needed minor
changes.
This patch contains some changes to generate tidier DSNs, which should
make them slightly more readable.
In particular, it also makes it able to handle multi-line errors much
better than before.
Our non-delivery status notifications are quite simple today, but that
makes it much more difficult to support internationalization and
cross-language reporting.
There is a standard for internationalized DSNs, RFC 6533 (which builds
on top of the structured DSNs from RFC 3464).
This patch changes our DSN messages to be based on those standards, so
it is easier for MUAs to display reports according to the users'
languages preferences.
Note we still use message/rfc822 + 8bit to transmit the message, instead
of message/global, for compatibility reasons. This seems to be more
universally compatible, but the decision might be revisited in the
future. See RFC 5335 (section 4.6 in particular).
Despite its loose appearance, the "Received" header has a reasonably
standarized format.
We were not following the standard format as closely as we should; this
rarely causes problems in this particular case, but there's no need to
deviate from it.
This patch changes the Received header generation as follows:
- The "from" section now uses the remote address as canonical (for
non-authenticated users) which provides more valuable information
than the user-supplied EHLO address (which is also included).
- The remote authenticated user is now hidden, for additional privacy.
- Use the "with" optional clause.
- Use the standard way of printing TLS cipher suite.
- Use the standard way of printing address literals.
The queue currently only considers failed recipients when deciding
whether to send a DSN or not. This is a bug, as recipients that time out
are not taken into account.
This patch fixes that issue by including both failed and pending
recipients in the DSN.
It also adds more comprehensive tests for this case, both in the queue
and in the dsn generation code.
HELO and EHLO both take a mandatory parameter, which also should be used
in the Received header.
This patch tracks and enforces that parameter, and also updates the
Received header generation to use it.

Currently, we do SPF checks for all connections.
However, authenticated users will be sending email from different
locations, applying SPF to them will result in false positives.
So this patch makes chasquid skip SPF checking if the connection is
authenticated.
This patch adds a test for delivery status notifications and null address
deliveries, that check that chasquid can both receive and send DSNs.
To do this, we extend the mail_diff utility to support wildcards in the
comparisons, to skip over variable parts of the messages (like dates).
