we are using Go's net/mail to parse message headers. it can parse addresses,
and properly decodes email addresses with double quotes (e.g. " "@example.com).
however, it gives us an address without the double quotes in the localpart,
effectively an invalid address. we now have a workaround to parse such
not-quite-addresses.
for issue #199 reported by gene-hightower, thanks for reporting!
- prometheus is now behind an interface, they aren't dependencies for the
reusable components anymore.
- some dependencies have been inverted: instead of packages importing a main
package to get configuration, the main package now sets configuration in
these packages. that means fewer internals are pulled in.
- some functions now have new parameters for values that were retrieved from
package "mox-".
we don't want external software to include internal details like mlog.
slog.Logger is/will be the standard.
we still have mlog for its helper functions, and its handler that logs in
concise logfmt used by mox.
packages that are not meant for reuse still pass around mlog.Log for
convenience.
we use golang.org/x/exp/slog because we also support the previous Go toolchain
version. with the next Go release, we'll switch to the builtin slog.
