smtp

Description

smtp is a collection of parser combinators and state machine primitives for the grammar defined in RFC 5321 (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).

Data Types for SMTP Commands

Represenation of SMTP commands:

 
(define-datatype cmd cmd?
 (Helo (s string?))
 (Ehlo (s string?))
 (MailFrom (m mailbox?) (parameters list?))
 (RcptTo   (m mailbox?) (parameters list?))
 (Data)
 (Rset)
 (Send  (m mailbox?))
 (Soml  (m mailbox?))
 (Saml  (m mailbox?))
 (Vrfy  (s string?))
 (Expn  (s string?))
 (Help  (s string?))
 (Noop)
 (Quit)
 (Turn)
 (WrongArg (cmd string?)  (message string?)))

The record printer defined for this datatype prints values of this type in a format conforming to the RFC. For example:

 csi> (print (Helo "myhost.org"))
 HELO myhost.org

The mailbox datatype has the following definition:

(define-datatype mailbox mailbox?
  (Mailbox (local-part string?) 
           (domain string?)))

Data Types for SMTP Replies

Representation of SMTP replies:

 (define-datatype reply reply?
  (Reply (code code?) (msg list?)))

An SMTP reply is a three-digit return code plus comments. This is what the list of strings is for; one string per line in the reply. the record printer will append an CRLF end-of-line marker to each entry in that list, so that the resulting string is ready to be sent back to the peer.

For example:

> (print (Reply (Code (Success) (MailSystem) 0)
                    (list "worked" "like" "a charm")))
250-worked
250-like
250 a charm

The code datatype consists of success code, category and supplemental code:

(define-datatype code code?
  (Code (suc success-code?) (cat category?) (num integer?)))

In addition, the success-code and category datatypes can be used to map symbolic identifiers to integers and vice versa:

(define-enumerated-type 
  success-code success-code? success-vector 
  success-code-inject success-code-project 
  (Unused)
  (PreliminarySuccess)
  (Success)
  (IntermediateSuccess)
  (TransientFailure)
  (PermanentFailure))
(define-enumerated-type 
  category category? category-vector
  category-inject category-project
  (Syntax)
  (Information)
  (Connection)
  (Unspecified3)
  (Unspecified4)
  (MailSystem))

define-enumerated-type defines a new record type, with as many instances as there are instance names. name-vector is bound to a vector containing the instances of the type in the same order as the instance-name list. name-inject and name-project are procedures that map integers to an instance and vice versa.

ESMTP State Machine

[procedure] (start-session)

Procedure start-session returns an ESMTP state machine object (a procedure), which takes in a stream containing an SMTP command and returns an appropriate session-fsm value:

 (define-datatype session-fsm session-fsm?
   (Event (ev event?))
   (Trans (ev event?) (fsm procedure?)))

A stream in this case is defined as the representation used by the abnf library.

The Event variant signals an event that must be processed by the calling library, while Trans signals an event and a state machine transition. The following events can be returned by this state machine:

(define-datatype event event?
  (SayHelo       (s string?))
  (SayHeloAgain  (s string?))
  (SayEhlo       (s string?))
  (SayEhloAgain  (s string?))
  (SetMailFrom   (m mailbox?) (parameters? list))
  (AddRcptTo     (m mailbox?) (parameters? list))
  (StartData)
  (NeedHeloFirst)
  (NeedMailFromFirst)
  (NeedRcptToFirst)
  (NotImplemented) ;; Turn, Send, Soml, Saml, Vrfy, Expn.
  (ResetState)
  (SayOK)
  (SeeksHelp    (s string?))
  (Shutdown)
  (SyntaxErrorIn (s string?))
  (Unrecognized  (s string?)))
