Good evening Adolf,
good evening *,

while you neither are responsible for nor can change anything to it, I must s=
ay missing changelogs
are not a good sign to me. Referring to https://github.com/corecode/dma/commi=
ts/master, there were
four commits to the source code since version 0.12:

1. Make MASQUERADE config setting override -f
2. add support for RFC976 From_ lines
3. add option to verify server certificate fingerprint
4. Change RCPT TO to split up multiple addresses

The latter is especially - um - interesting as the full commit message (avail=
able online at
https://github.com/corecode/dma/commit/450d4b68d3295d2ef50fa5c9576f5c4e043c0c=
80) states:

> RFC5321 section 4.1.1.3 states that RCPT TO only takes one address at a tim=
e.

Seriously?! Not even an MTA programmer is reading most basic mail RFCs anymor=
e?!?!

Yes, DMA might be a lightweight replacement for Postfix on machines just need=
ing a better smarthost.
However, the commit above means DMA behaved RFC-ignorant as soon as a message=
 had more than one
recipient - which apparently does not seem to happen that often to DMA users.

RFC 5321 is not about rocket science or some exotic corner cases at all, it i=
s one of the most basic
internet standards regarding e-mail communication. We have lost the complexit=
y battle years ago,
apparently, we cannot count on application programmers to have a slightest cl=
ue about what they are
doing as well.

I am shocked about the quality of that piece of software.

Embittered,
Peter M=C3=BCller
