Tracking issue for `VRFY` support #7

Open novedevo opened 3 years ago

novedevo commented 3 years ago

this one's a little trickier than some other commands. RFC declares that we can't just check syntax, we need to make sure that we actually have a user at that mailbox, so to support VRFY we already need to maintain a user database. In the initial versions, this could be a .txt file, or a Vec<String>, but if we want this to be a functional server we'll need something a little heavier.

Similar issues apply to EXPN, but if we just don't create any mailing lists we can trivially return for that one.

if we do end up supporting EXPN, we need to add it to our EHLO response

we also should put a config option to disable VRFY and EXPN for security reasons, returning 252
