message.Writer.Write() adds missing \r's, but the buffer of "last bytes
written" was only being updated while writing the message headers, not while
writing the body. so for Write()'s in the body section (depending on
buffering), we were compensating based on the "last bytes written" as set
during the last write in the header section. that could cause a spurious \r to
be added when a Write starts with \n while the previous Write did properly
end with \r.
for issue #117, thanks haraldrudell for reporting and investigating
mox was already strict in its "\r\n.\r\n" handling for end-of-message in an
smtp transaction.
due to a mostly unrelated bug, sequences of "\nX\n", including "\n.\n" were
rejected with a "local processing error".
the sequence "\r\n.\n" dropped the dot, not necessarily a big problem, this is
unlikely to happen in a legimate transaction and the behaviour not
unreasonable.
we take this opportunity to reject all bare \r. we detect all slightly
incorrect combinations of "\r\n.\r\n" with an error mentioning smtp smuggling,
in part to appease the tools checking for it.
smtp errors are 500 "bad syntax", and mention smtp smuggling.
because that is what most of the code expects. we could work around having bare
lf, but it would complicate too much code.
currently, a message with bare lf is accepted (in smtpserver delivery,
imapserver append, etc), but when an imap session would try to fetch parsed
parts, that would fail because and even cause a imapserver panic (closing the
connection).
in message imports we would already convert bare lf to crlf (because it is
expected those messages are all lf-only-ending).
we store messages with crlf-ending instead of lf-ending so the imapserver has
all correct information at hand (line counts, byte counts).
found by using emclient with mox. it adds a message to the inbox that can have
mixed crlf and bare lf line endings in a few header fields (in some
localization, emclient authors explained how that happened, thanks!). we can
now convert those lines and read those messages over imap. emclient already
switched to all-crlf line endings in newer (development) versions.
