[issue16462] smtpd should return greeting

2012-11-12 Thread mike.a

New submission from mike.a:

The greeting value is required by SPF, and should be returned by SMTPChannel. 
This would involve a simple fix by adding self.__greeting to the list of 
returned values in the status object

[issue16462] smtpd should return greeting

2012-11-12 Thread mike.a

mike.a added the comment:

The greeting value is the HELO/EHLO identity. RFC 4408 (SPF) recommends 
checking both the mail from domain as well as the HELO identity, so this value 
is useful and could be passed to proc_message() function (API for "doing 
something useful with this message"). Later versions of the code pass the same 
values, so this is relevant for 2.7, 3.2, and 3.3.
