    Fix bug introduced in c90ba307 - line endings stripped from rx'd mail

    An unrelated optimization (elimination of an unnecessary use of fprintf) resulted in a new bug that combined all lines from SMTP-received mail messages into a single long line, thus breaking all decoding ability of multi-part MIME messages (where blank lines are significant).

    Went ahead and replaced some other unnecessary uses of fprintf(), replaces with fputs() while at it.

    Log Message:
    Don't support yields per x lines on SMTP receive

    Consume the SMTP lines as fast as possible since the sender may be on the
    local network (or even local/loopback interface!) and could get way ahead and timeout otherwise, resulting in the "premature evacuation" error (and dumping of the received message) on the receive side. This resolves an observed issue with sending large attachments to the mail server at very high rates and the sending client timing and disconnecting waiting for a response from the server (which was throttling the receive using YIELD).

    Well, that makes perfectly good sense now. I got a couple messages this morning and they were one really long line. Thank you for fixing this. I'll update tonight.

    Log Message:
    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.

    Fix corrupted RFC822 msg headers when a header field was > 1024 chars

    When sending an SMB message header via SMTP or POP3, some header fields (lines) could potentially be longer than 1024 and yet sockprintf() was limited to sending 1024 bytes (actually 1022 plus CRLF). This could result in some messages not being sent correctly: header field truncated, not CRLR-terminated, and notably resulting in MIME message contents not being decoded properly in a message viewer/reader. Example (Content-Type is part of the previous header field/line):

    Solved by using asprintf() instead of snprintf() for dynamic string formatting and allocation in one go. Using realloc() to expand the buffer for the appended/required CRLF.

    Log a warning message and send a "500 Line too long" before disconnecting any SMTP client that sends lines > 998 characters in length. Technically, we can handle lines up to 1023 characters, but then we could get out of sync with the client if it sends exactly 1023 chars and then a new-line char (which we would interpret as a blank line, separating the message header and body) - so just punt the client who doesn't obey the rules of the protocol.

    Pretty much any From field that contains an '@' in the username portion
    was subject to comparison to the full email address, but clearly some of
    these rejected emails were not forge attempts:

    'Chris @ StubHub' vs 'events@mail.stubhub.com'
    'Eric S. Raymond (@esr)' vs 'gitlab@mg.gitlab.com'

    Fixed by requiring that the sender name is actually a well-formed Internet email address using smb_netaddr_type(), which was also recently improved to
    be more accurate.

    Unrelated change: include reverse-path (email address for bounces) in ILLEGALLY-LONG body and header line log messages (usually SPAM from what
    I can tell).

    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.
