an é (e with accent) can also be written as e+\u0301. the first form is NFC,
the second NFD. when logging in, we transform usernames (email addresses) to
NFC. so both forms will be accepted. if a client is using NFD, they can log
in too.
for passwords, we apply the PRECIS "opaquestring", which (despite the name)
transforms the value too: unicode spaces are replaced with ascii spaces. the
string is also normalized to NFC. PRECIS may reject confusing passwords when
you set a password.
both when parsing our configs, and for incoming on smtp or in messages.
so we properly compare things like é and e+accent as equal, and accept the
different encodings of that same address.
dmarc verifiers will only accept a dkim signature if the domain the message From
header matches the domain of the signature (i.e. it is "aligned").
i hadn't run into this before and when testing because thunderbird sets the
"smtp mail from" to the same address as a custom "message from" header. but
other mail clients don't have to do that.
should fix issue #22
current behaviour isn't intuitive. it's not great to have to attempt parsing
the strings as both localpart and email address. so we deprecate the
localpart-only behaviour. when we load the config file, and it has
localpart-only Destinations keys, we'll change them to full addresses in
memory. when an admin causes a write of domains.conf, it'll automatically be
fixed. we log an error with a deprecated notice for each localpart-only
destinations key.
sometime in the future, we can remove the old localpart-only destination
support. will be in the release notes then.
also start keeping track of update notes that need to make it in the release
notes of the next release.
for issue #18
