    Log Message:
    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):
    x-ms-exchange-antispam-messagedata-0:
    =?us-ascii?Q?cm9T1Q9G65VC/lKTTqhODKhy5lHT2y6WWMb/WyvJ+EeGEwYmY7ILhzE3yfNM?=

    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.

    Reject SMTP session from any client that sends illegally-long lines

    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.

    SMTP commands have a shorter limit (510 versus 998) and the body text line limit needed to account for dot-stuffing.

    Log Message:
    Fix false FORGED mail header 'FROM' field detection/rejection

    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).

    Better resource (e.g. client thread) management

    My mail server was suddenly and inexplicably creating thousands of SMTPS
    client threads, each with a unique remote IP address, and each eventually failing with the rather obscure log message (from cryptlib):
    dbg 'Cannot read item from object' (-41) setting session active

    Eventually (after not long, really), the server would run out of resources
    and fail in weird and wonderful ways (can't malloc, can't create JS runtime
    or context, etc.). The max_clients limit (100, as I have it set) wasn't being effectively-imposed on SMTPS connections.

    The root-cause: the active_clients (counter) wasn't incremented until *after* the cryptlib/TLS setup for SMTPS connections and SMTPS/TLS connections can
    take a long time to fail, resulting in a vulnerability to an effective denial of service attack.

    Raise the minimum severity of all cryptlib/TLS log messages from Debug to
    Info.

    Create wrappers for smtp_thread() [now smtp_client_thread()] and pop3_thread [now pop3_client_thread()] that handle basic resource management (thread counters, active client counters, the client socket).

    former form and logged a warning ("Missing AUTH PLAIN argument") when we received the latter. No warning is logged now and the appropriate server-challege is sent and the response accepted and base64-decoded and
    parsed as before.

    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.

    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".

    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.
