    src/sbbs3 mailsrvr.c 1.720 1.721
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/src/sbbs3

    Modified Files:
    mailsrvr.c
    Log Message:
    Fix bug introduced in previous commit of this file (8 months ago):
    If the RECIPIENTTOLIST header fields exists and the RFC822 header field
    does not exist, that means the original RFC822 "To" field was not MIME-encoded, which is the majority of email. The routine that converted an smbmsg_t to an RFC822 header did not use this new field however (ignored it). Whoops. So multiple recipients were reflect in the To field and the original destination address(es) in the To field weren't passed on either. Thanks, Frank!

    Log Message:
    Use a mutex to serial message saving among multiple clients/threads

    This work-around shouldn't be necessary, but at least on my Linux/Samba setup, when GitLab sends out notification emails to subscribers and creates 4+ simultaneous SMTP connections and sends email messages, sometimes (often) it ends up with a lock-timeout on the mail base. The file locking should handle the contention fine, but somehow I end up in scenarios where savemsg() takes 30 seconds to complete (the configured SMB lock-timeout is 30 seconds, likely not a coincidence) - and this causes other clients to timeout trying to lock the base. Just use a sharead-mutex here instead as a work-around. The wait time is indefinite, might want to consider using a timed-wait instead.

    Recognize DNB blacklist exempted email addresses in From fields

    Previously, any DNS blacklist-exempt email addresses (in ctrl/dnsbl_exempt.cfg) had to be used in the mail-envelope (the "MAIL FROM:" address) - that doesn't work for all senders that use re-mailers or whatever where you end-up with some *bounce* address as the envelope-sender.

    So now, clear the DNSBL results when the From header field is parsed and the sender was in fact an exempt sender. Note: the Subject line will still contain the SPAM tag if the subject was parsed first (came earlier in the message header). May need to address this limitation in the future if it turns out to be a problem (!).

    Lowercase the [smtp|smtps]spy.txt log file.

    Log Message:
    Don't send default MIME Content-type for msgs with attachments

    The file attachments, when MIME-encoded, already include a MIME Content-type header field, so don't send another. This should fix issue #233.

    "startup" was being deref'd after the caller free'd it because these thread functions were calling thread_down() before calling mail_close_socket(), which deref's startup which was subject to a race condition.

    Eliminate some of the infrequent SPAM posts to the SYNCPROG conference. Maybe make this behavior configurable?

    Log Message:
    Include twit-listed sender name in quotes in log message

    Since mail server log messages have their white-space condensed, it was not obvious why some sender's name would match a twitlist.cfg line that filters names beginning with a space: "\ *" because the initial space of the sender's name was condensed/combined with space before it in the log message.

    Modified Files:

    Log Message:
    MIME-encode words that contain non-ASCII values in text header fields

    (e.g. to, from, subject) ... when transmitting to other hosts (e.g. POP3 clients or other SMTP hosts).

    For messages that contain CP437 or UTF-8 chars in these fields and were *not* imported into the BBS via SMTP or POP3, these header fields would be transmitted to other hosts with the raw CP437 or UTF-8 chars, thus violating POP3 and SMTP protocols and likely resulting in garbage displayed in message readers.

    The fix is to encode (using MIME "encoded words", per RFC 2407) where necessary.

    Since moderm mail clients (e.g. Thunderbird) don't see to support CP437
    charset in MIME encoded header fields, always translate to UTF-8 first.

    We probably should be translating message body text to UTF-8 as well, for maximum compatibilty with modern mail readers, but this commit doesn't address body text issues with CP437-encoded content. That'll come later.

    Modified Files:

    Log Message:
    Report bigger "size of message" in POP3 LIST response

    For messages that have no body, we'd report 0. But RFC 1939 says this value
    is supposed to be "the exact size of the message in octets" <sigh>. This
    would include header fields, so while we can't know the exact RFC822 size, adding the msg's hdr.length to these values gives size > 0 for messages
    with no body text and this enables the Apple iPhone Mail app to download
    the message (fixing issue #822).

    Part two of this fix is to provide a blank line of message text when there
    is none. This changes the message displayed in the iPhone Mail app from:

    "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted.
    Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program.

    text/plain"

    to (the much nicer):
    "This message has no content".

    Log Message:
    Include the size of the message headers in the POP3 STAT response too

    I suppose if we only had messages with no body text, this value could be 0
    (not accounting for any headers) and thus throw a client off.

    So consider this as part of the fix for issue #822.
