#ifndef _SMTPUTF8_H_INCLUDED_ #define _SMTPUTF8_H_INCLUDED_ /*++ /* NAME /* smtputf8 3h /* SUMMARY /* SMTPUTF8 support /* SYNOPSIS /* #include /* DESCRIPTION /* .nf /* * Avoiding chicken-and-egg problems during the initial SMTPUTF8 roll-out in * environments with pre-existing mail flows that contain UTF8. * * Prior to SMTPUTF8, mail flows that contain UTF8 worked because the vast * majority of MTAs is perfectly capable of handling UTF8 in address * localparts (and in headers), even if pre-SMTPUTF8 standards do not * support this practice. * * When turning on Postfix SMTPUTF8 support for the first time, we don't want * to suddenly break pre-existing mail flows that contain UTF8 because 1) a * client does not request SMTPUTF8 support, and because 2) a down-stream * MTA does not announce SMTPUTF8 support. * * While 1) is easy enough to avoid (keep accepting UTF8 in address localparts * just like Postfix has always done), 2) presents a thornier problem. The * root cause of that problem is the need for SMTPUTF8 autodetection. * * What is SMTPUTF8 autodetection? Postfix cannot rely solely on the sender's * declaration that a message requires SMTPUTF8 support, because UTF8 may be * introduced during local processing (for example, the client hostname in * Postfix's Received: header, adding @$myorigin or .$mydomain to an * incomplete address, address rewriting, alias expansion, automatic BCC * recipients, local forwarding, and changes made by header checks or Milter * applications). * * In summary, after local processing has happened, Postfix may decide that a * message requires SMTPUTF8 support, even when that message initially did * not require SMTPUTF8 support. This could make the message undeliverable * to destinations that do not support SMTPUTF8. In an environment with * pre-existing mail flows that contain UTF8, we want to avoid disrupting * those mail flows when rolling out SMTPUTF8 support. * * For the vast majority of sites, the simplest solution is to autodetect * SMTPUTF8 support only for Postfix sendmail command-line submissions, at * least as long as SMTPUTF8 support has not yet achieved wold domination. * * However, sites that add UTF8 content via local processing (see above) should * autodetect SMTPUTF8 support for all email. * * smtputf8_autodetect() uses the setting of the smtputf8_autodetect_classes * parameter, and the mail source classes defined in mail_params.h. */ extern int smtputf8_autodetect(int); /* * The flag SMTPUTF8_FLAG_REQUESTED is raised on request by the sender, or * when a queue file contains at least one UTF8 envelope recipient. One this * flag is raised it is preserved when mail is forwarded or bounced. * * The flag SMTPUTF8_FLAG_HEADER is raised when a queue file contains at least * one UTF8 message header. * * The flag SMTPUTF8_FLAG_SENDER is raised when a queue file contains an UTF8 * envelope sender. * * The three flags SMTPUTF8_FLAG_REQUESTED/HEADER/SENDER are stored in the * queue file, are sent with delivery requests to Postfix delivery agents, * and are sent with "flush" requests to the bounce daemon to ensure that * the resulting notification message will have a content-transfer-encoding * of 8bit. * * In the future, mailing lists will have a mix of UTF8 and non-UTF8 * subscribers. With the following flag, Postfix can avoid requiring * SMTPUTF8 delivery when it isn't really needed. * * The flag SMTPUTF8_FLAG_RECIPIENT is raised when a delivery request (NOT: * message) contains at least one UTF8 envelope recipient. The flag is NOT * stored in the queue file. The flag sent in requests to the bounce daemon * ONLY when bouncing a single recipient. The flag is used ONLY in requests * to Postfix delivery agents, to give Postfix flexibility when delivering * messages to non-SMTPUTF8 servers. * * If a delivery request has none of the flags SMTPUTF8_FLAG_RECIPIENT, * SMTPUTF8_FLAG_SENDER, or SMTPUTF8_FLAG_HEADER, then the message can * safely be delivered to a non-SMTPUTF8 server (DSN original recipients * will be encoded appropriately per RFC 6533). * * To allow even more SMTPUTF8 mail to be sent to non-SMTPUTF8 servers, * implement RFC 2047 header encoding in the Postfix SMTP client, and update * the SMTP client protocol engine. */ #define SMTPUTF8_FLAG_NONE (0) #define SMTPUTF8_FLAG_REQUESTED (1<<0) /* queue file/delivery/bounce request */ #define SMTPUTF8_FLAG_HEADER (1<<1) /* queue file/delivery/bounce request */ #define SMTPUTF8_FLAG_SENDER (1<<2) /* queue file/delivery/bounce request */ #define SMTPUTF8_FLAG_RECIPIENT (1<<3) /* delivery request only */ /* LICENSE /* .ad /* .fi /* The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software. /* AUTHOR(S) /* Wietse Venema /* IBM T.J.
