Openmstpd-configuration may only be configured by a config-file.  This
patch, enables one to configure opensmtpd by using some guile record
types (defined via define-record-type*).

This patch is mostly complete, but I could use some guidance on what
else needs to be done for it to be accepted in to guix properly.
I do have some documentation written for the opensmtpd-service,
but it is probably not complete and is currently written in the
org-mode format.

+* tasks
+** PROJ I have decent data structures. now let's get some good code. [0/6]
+*** why are good data structures important?
+**** nckx's advice: use a simple 1-1 mapping
+"...as I think Guix services ought to faithfully wrap the native
+syntax whenever possible (implement alternative simple APIs on top of
+that — fine)."
+
+-nckx from irc on #guix
+
+**** To follow nckx's advice, one might create the =<opensmtpd-service>= like this:
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+  (service opensmtpd-service
+           (opensmtpd-configuration
+            (includes ...)
+            (tables ...)
+            (pkis ...)
+            (filters ...)
+            (listen-on ...)
+            (actions ...)
+            (matches ...)))
+#+END_SRC
+
+Defining the service this way, makes it VERY easy from a development point of
+view.  But it makes it possible for users to create simple mistakes when
+defining the service.
+
+For example, it is possible to define an nginx service that will successfully
+reconfigure the system. BUT after reboot nginx refuses to start. Why? Who knows.
+Guix won't tell you. Neither will the Shepherd. To fix this, the user has to go
+digging into the nginx logs, and he might not know where to find those. If
+possible, when the user specificies a =<opensmtpd-configuration>= that has
+obvious errors, then the guix services should make reconfigure fail and print a
+helpful error message.
+
+**** BUT it would be better if the service uses better datastructures.
+
+I should follow nckx's advice, and Linus' advice: good programmers use good
+datastructures. If you have good datastructures, then your code will almost
+write itself.
+
+It might make the service a little harder to develop, but end-users will find
+the service easier to use. This would eliminate common errors like misspellings
+and give appropriate error messages. Practically it would ensure each
+=<opensmtpd-match-configuration>= has a corresponding =<opensmtpd-action>=,
+creating a table name and then misspelling the table name later, and defining
+a table but never using it, etc.
+

+*** PROJ tweek the code for =<opensmtpd-filter-configuration>= & =<opensmtpd-filter-phase-configuration>= records [4/7]
+**** Why I chose the current datastructures of =<opensmtpd-filter-configuration>= & =<opensmtpd-filter-phase-configuration>=
+
+According to the man page I have a four kinds of filters:
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+1. filter chain-name chain {filter-name [, ...]}
+         Register a chain of filters chain-name, consisting of the filters listed from filter-name.
+         Filters part of a filter chain are executed in order of declaration for each phase that
+         they are registered for.  A filter chain may be used in place of a filter for any direc‐
+         tive but filter chains themselves.
+2. filter filter-name phase phase-name match conditions decision
+         Register a filter filter-name.  A decision about what to do with the mail is taken at
+         phase phase-name when matching conditions.  Phases, matching conditions, and decisions are
+         described in MAIL FILTERING, below.
+3. filter filter-name proc proc-name
+         Register "proc" filter filter-name backed by the proc-name process.
+4. filter filter-name proc-exec command
+         Register and execute "proc" filter filter-name from command.  If command starts with a
+         slash it is executed with an absolute path, else it will be run from
+         “/gnu/store/2d13sdz76ldq8zgwv4wif0zx7hkr3mh2-opensmtpd-6.8.0p2/libexec/opensmtpd”.
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+=chain-name= could be easily represented as a list of filters. in the
+opensmtpd-configuration-filter fieldname:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+(opensmtpd-configuration
+ (listen-on
+  (filter
+   (list (opensmtpd-filter-configuration)
+         (opensmtpd-filter-configuration)
+         (opensmtpd-filter-configuration)))))
+#+END_SRC
+
+For example, this is probably easier
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+  (opensmtpd-configuration
+   (actions (list
+             (opensmtpd-action
+              (name "relay")
+              (method (opensmtpd-relay-configuration
+                       (domain (opensmtpd-table-configuration
+                                ;;(name "domains")  ;; with some smart coding, the name would NOT be needed.
+                                (data (list
+                                         "gnucode.me"
+                                         "gnu-hurd.com"))))))))))
+#+END_SRC
+
+than the alternative:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+  (opensmtpd-configuration
+   (tables (list
+            (opensmtpd-table-configuration
+             (name "domains")
+             (data (list
+                      "gnucode.me"
+                      "gnu-hurd.com")))))
+   (actions (list
+             (opensmtpd-action
+              (name "relay")
+              (method (opensmtpd-relay-configuration
+                       (domain "domains")))))))
+#+END_SRC
+
+**** some example code for each of the 3 types of filters
+
+1. filter phase
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+(opensmtpd-filter-phase-configuration
+ (name "phase")
+ (phase "connect")
+ (options
+  (list
+   (opensmtpd-option-configuration
+    (option "src")
+    (not #t)
+    (regex #t)
+    (table (opensmtpd-table-configuration (name "src-option-table")
+                            (data (list "cat" "hot")))))))
+ (decision "reject")
+ (message "We do not want spam here!"))
+#+END_SRC
+
+#+RESULTS:
+
+2. filter proc
+this is a filter-proc
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+(opensmtpd-filter
+ (name "proc")
+ (proc "dkimsign"))
+#+END_SRC
+
+3. filter proc-exec
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+(opensmtpd-filter
+ (name "proc")
+ (exec #t)
+ (proc "dkimsign"))
+#+END_SRC
+
+***** Why am I doing the data structure like the above?
+
+filter-proc and proc-exec as defined in man smtpd.conf can both use the same
+<opensmtpd-filter-configuration> record.  That works just fine.
+
+But filter-phase is a different beast.  I do NOT want someone to accidentally
+define something like the following which is BAD data:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+(opensmtpd-filter
+ (name "proc")
+ (exec #t)
+ (proc "dkimsign"))
+
+#+END_SRC
+**** NO Is it advantageous/desireable to merge =<opensmtpd-filter-configuration>= & <opensmtpd-filter-phase-configuration>
+
+When a user creates a filter, he is either going to create a
+=<opensmtpd-filter-configuration>~ or an ~<opensmtpd-filter-phase>= NOT both. If
+we define separate records, then it is impossible for a user to accidentally
+define a filter record using fieldnames from both filter types. eg:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+(opensmtpd-filter-configuration
+ (name "filter")
+ (exec #t)
+ (proc "dkimsign")
+ (phase "connect"))  ;; this phase should NOT be there. this is a <opensmtpd-filter-configuration>
+#+END_SRC
+
+If =<opensmtpd-filter-configuration>= & =<opensmtpd-filter-phase-configuration>= are separte then the above
+would correctly result in an error message for free.
+**** TODO make <opensmtpd-filter-configuration> fieldname 'proc' accept a list of strings and/or a <gexp>s
+
+Suppose you want to do dkimsigning in smtpd.conf.  Here is how you might
+register the official opensmtpd dkimsign filter:
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+filter "dkimsign" proc-exec "filter-dkimsign -d <domain> -s <selector>  \
+       -k /gnu/store/2d13sdz76ldq8zgwv4wif0zx7hkr3mh2-opensmtpd-6.8.0p2/etc/dkim/private.key" user _dkimsign group _dkimsign
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+For example my hacky code to do dkimsigning looks like:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+filter \"dkimsign\"  \
+  proc-exec \"" path-to-filter-dkimsign " -d gnucode.me -s 2021-09-22 -c relaxed/relaxed -k " etc-dkimsign-key-file
+  " \"  \
+  user nobody group nogroup
+
+#+END_SRC
+
+Here is some example code of how we could create an
+=<opensmtpd-filter-configuration>= that registers a dkimsign filter.  The code
+below probably will NOT work.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+(let ((etc-dkimsign-key-file "filename.key")
+      (path-to-dkimsign-key "/etc/opensmtpd/")))
+(opensmtpd-filter-configuration
+ (name "dkimsign")
+ (proc (list
+        (file-append opensmtpd-filter-dkimsign "/libexec/opensmtpd/filter-dkimsign")
+        " -d gnucode.me -s 2021-09-22 -c relaxed/relaxed -k "
+        ~#(let ([UID-nobody (passwd:uid (getpw "nobody"))]
+                [GID-root (group:gid (getgr "root"))]
+                [GID-nogroup (group:gid (getgr "nogroup"))])
+            ;; #o550 user root can read/open the directory
+            ;; and the group "root" can read/open the directory.
+            ;; change these two lines to (mkdir-p) ?
+            (unless (file-exists? "/etc/opensmtpd")
+              (mkdir "/etc/opensmtpd" #o550))
+
+            ;; root can read/write/execute on directory dkimsign
+            ;; group "root" can read and execute
+            (unless (file-exists? "/etc/opensmtpd/dkimsign")
+              (mkdir "/etc/opensmtpd/dkimsign" #o750))
+
+            (copy-file path-to-dkimsign-key etc-dkimsign-key-file)
+            ;; make the etc-dkimsign-key-file to owned by nobody and group nogroup.
+            (chown "/etc/opensmtpd" UID-nobody GID-root)

+
+This is a guide to Lisp style, written by Taylor R. Campbell, to
+describe the standard rules of Lisp style as well as a set of more
+stringent rules for his own style.  This guide should be useful for
+Lisp in general, but there are [or will be in the final draft] parts
+that are focussed on or specific to Scheme or Common Lisp.
+
+This guide is written primarily as a collection of rules, with
+rationale for each rule.  (If a rule is missing rationale, please
+inform the author!)  Although a casual reader might go through and read
+the rules without the rationale, perhaps reasoning that reading of the
+rationale would require more time than is available, such a reader
+would derive little value from this guide.  In order to apply the rules
+meaningfully, their spirit must be understood; the letter of the rules
+serves only to hint at the spirit.  The rationale is just as important
+as the rules.
+
+There are many references in this document to `Emacs', `GNU Emacs',
+`Edwin', and so on.  In this document, `Emacs' means any of a class of
+editors related in design to a common ancestor, the EMACS editor macros
+written for TECO on ITS on the PDP-10 in the middle of the nineteen
+seventies.  All such editors -- or `all Emacsen', since `Emacsen' is
+the plural of `Emacs' -- have many traits in common, such as a very
+consistent set of key bindings, extensibility in Lisp, and so on.  `GNU
+Emacs' means the member of the class of editors collectively known as
+Emacsen that was written for the GNU Project in the middle of the
+nineteen eighties, and which is today probably the most popular Emacs.
+`Edwin' is MIT Scheme's Emacs, which is bundled as part of MIT Scheme,
+and not available separately.  There are other Emacsen as well, such as
+Hemlock and Climacs, but as the author of this document has little
+experience with Emacsen other than GNU Emacs and Edwin, there is little
+mention of other Emacsen.
+
+This guide is a work in progress.  To be written:
+
+- Indentation rules for various special operators.
+- Philosophical rambling concerning naming.
+- Rules for breaking lines.
+- Many more examples.
+- A more cohesive explanation of the author's principles for composing
+  programs, and their implications.
+- Rules for writing portable code.
+- Some thoughts concerning extensions to the lexical syntax.
+- Rules for writing or avoiding macros.
+- Some unfinished rationale.
+- More on documentation.
+- The `Dependencies' subsection of the `General Layout' section should
+  be put in a different section, the rest of which has yet to be
+  written, on organization of programs, module systems, and portable
+  code.
+
+Feedback is welcome; address any feedback by email to the host
+mumble.net's user `campbell', or by IRC to Riastradh in the #scheme
+channel on Freenode (irc.freenode.net).  Feedback includes reports of
+typos, questions, requests for clarification, and responses to the
+rationale, except in the case of round brackets versus square
+brackets, the argument surrounding which is supremely uninteresting
+and now not merely a dead horse but a rotting carcass buzzing with
+flies and being picked apart by vultures.
+
+As this document has grown, the line between standard Lisp rules and
+the author's own style has been blurred.  The author is considering
+merging of the partition, but has not yet decided on this with
+certainty.  Opinions on the subject are welcome -- is the partition
+still useful to keep the author's biases and idiosyncrasies out of the
+standard rules, or has the partition with its arbitrary nature only
+caused disorganization of the whole document?
+
+Unfortunately, this document is entirely unscientific.  It is at best a
+superstition or philosophy, but one that the author of this document
+has found to have improved his programs.  Furthermore, the author is
+somewhat skeptical of claims of scientific analyses of these matters:
+analyzing human behaviour, especially confined to the set of excellent
+programmers who often have strong opinions about their methods for
+building programs, is a very tricky task.
+
+,* Standard Rules
+
+These are the standard rules for formatting Lisp code; they are
+repeated here for completeness, although they are surely described
+elsewhere.  These are the rules implemented in Emacs Lisp modes, and
+auxiliary utilities such as Paredit.
+
+The rationale given here is merely the author's own speculation of the
+origin of these rules, and should be taken as nothing more than it.
+The reader shall, irrespective of the author's rationale, accept the
+rules as sent by the reader's favourite deity, or Cthulhu if no such
+deity strikes adequate fear into the heart of the reader.
+
+,** Parentheses
+
+,*** Terminology
+
+This guide avoids the term /parenthesis/ except in the general use of
+/parentheses/ or /parenthesized/, because the word's generally accepted
+definition, outside of the programming language, is a statement whose
+meaning is peripheral to the sentence in which it occurs, and *not* the
+typographical symbols used to delimit such statements.
+
+The balanced pair of typographical symbols that mark parentheses in
+English text are /round brackets/, i.e. ( and ).  There are several
+other balanced pairs of typographical symbols, such as /square
+brackets/ (commonly called simply `brackets' in programming circles),
+i.e. [ and ]; /curly braces/ (sometimes called simply `braces'), i.e. {
+and }; /angle brackets/ (sometimes `brokets' (for `broken brackets')),
+i.e. < and >.
+
+In any balanced pair of typographical symbols, the symbol that begins
+the region delimited by the symbols is called the /opening bracket/ or
+the /left bracket/, such as ( or [ or { or <.  The symbol that ends
+that region is called the /right bracket/ or the /closing bracket/,
+such as > or } or ] or ).
+
+,*** Spacing
+
+If any text precedes an opening bracket or follows a closing bracket,
+separate that text from that bracket with a space.  Conversely, leave
+no space after an opening bracket and before following text, or after
+preceding text and before a closing bracket.
+
+  Unacceptable:
+
+    (foo(bar baz)quux)
+    (foo ( bar baz ) quux)
+
+  Acceptable:
+
+    (foo (bar baz) quux)
+
+  Rationale:  This is the same spacing found in standard typography of
+  European text.  It is more aesthetically pleasing.
+
+,*** Line Separation
+
+Absolutely do *not* place closing brackets on their own lines.
+
+  Unacceptable:
+
+    (define (factorial x)
+      (if (< x 2)
+          1
+          (* x (factorial (- x 1
+                          )
+               )
+          )
+      )
+    )
+
+  Acceptable:
+
+    (define (factorial x)
+      (if (< x 2)
+          1
+          (* x (factorial (- x 1)))))
+
+  Rationale:  The parentheses grow lonely if their closing brackets are
+  all kept separated and segregated.
+
+,**** Exceptions to the Above Rule Concerning Line Separation
+
+Do not heed this section unless you know what you are doing.  Its title
+does *not* make the unacceptable example above acceptable.
+
+When commenting out fragments of expressions with line comments, it may
+be necessary to break a line before a sequence of closing brackets:
+
+  (define (foo bar)
+    (list (frob bar)
+          (zork bar)
+          ;; (zap bar)
+          ))
+
+This is acceptable, but there are other alternatives.  In Common Lisp,
+one can use the read-time optional syntax, `#+' or `#-', with a
+feature optional that is guaranteed to be false or true -- `#+(OR)'
+or `#-(AND)' --; for example,
+
+  (define (foo bar)
+    (list (frob bar)
+          (zork bar)
+          ,#+(or) (zap bar))).
+
+Read-time optionals are expression-oriented, not line-oriented, so
+the closing brackets need not be placed on the following line.  Some
+Scheme implementations, and SRFI 62, also support expression comments
+with `#;', which are operationally equivalent to the above read-time
+optionals for Common Lisp:
+
+  (define (foo bar)
+    (list (frob bar)
+          (zork bar)
+          #;
+           (zap bar)))
+
+The expression is placed on another line in order to avoid confusing
+editors that do not recognize S-expression comments; see the section
+titled `Comments' below for more details.  However, the `#;' notation
+is not standard -- it appears in neither the IEEE 1178 document nor in
+the R5RS --, so line comments are preferable for portable Scheme code,
+even if they require breaking a line before a sequence of closing
+brackets.
+
+Finally, it is acceptable to break a line immediately after an opening
+bracket and immediately before a closing bracket for very long lists,
+especially in files under version control.  This eases the maintenance
+of the lists and clarifies version diffs.  Example:
+
+  (define colour-names         ;Add more colour names to this list!
+    '(
+      blue
+      cerulean
+      green
+      magenta
+      purple
+      red
+      scarlet
+      turquoise
+      ))
+
+,*** Parenthetical Philosophy
+
+The actual bracket characters are simply lexical tokens to which little
+significance should be assigned.  Lisp programmers do not examine the
+brackets individually, or, Azathoth forbid, count brackets; instead
+they view the higher-level structures expressed in the program,
+especially as presented by the indentation.  Lisp is not about writing
+a sequence of serial instructions; it is about building complex
+structures by summing parts.  The composition of complex structures
+from parts is the focus of Lisp programs, and it should be readily
+apparent from the Lisp code.  Placing brackets haphazardly about the
+presentation is jarring to a Lisp programmer, who otherwise would not
+even have seen them for the most part.
+
+,** Indentation and Alignment
+
+The operator of any form, i.e. the first subform following the opening
+round bracket, determines the rules for indenting or aligning the
+remaining forms.  Many names in this position indicate special
+alignment or indentation rules; these are special operators, macros, or
+procedures that have certain parameter structures.
+
+If the first subform is a non-special name, however, then if the second
+subform is on the same line, align the starting column of all following
+subforms with that of the second subform.  If the second subform is on
+the following line, align its starting column with that of the first
+subform, and do the same for all remaining subforms.
+
+In general, Emacs will indent Lisp code correctly.  Run `C-M-q'
+(indent-sexp) on any code to ensure that it is indented correctly, and
+configure Emacs so that any non-standard forms are indented
+appropriately.
+
+  Unacceptable:
+
+    (+ (sqrt -1)
+      (* x y)
+      (+ p q))
+
+    (+
+       (sqrt -1)
+       (* x y)
+       (+ p q))
+
+  Acceptable:
+
+    (+ (sqrt -1)
+       (* x y)
+       (+ p q))
+
+    (+
+     (sqrt -1)
+     (* x y)
+     (+ p q))
+
+  Rationale:  The columnar alignment allows the reader to follow the
+  operands of any operation straightforwardly, simply by scanning
+  downward or upward to match a common column.  Indentation dictates
+  structure; confusing indentation is a burden on the reader who wishes
+  to derive structure without matching parentheses manually.
+
+,*** Non-Symbol Indentation and Alignment
+
+The above rules are not exhaustive; some cases may arise with strange
+data in operator positions.
+
+,**** Lists
+
+Unfortunately, style varies here from person to person and from editor
+to editor.  Here are some examples of possible ways to indent lists
+whose operators are lists:
+
+  Questionable:
+
+    ((car x)                            ;Requires hand indentation.
+       (cdr x)
+       foo)
+
+    ((car x) (cdr x)                    ;GNU Emacs
+     foo)
+
+  Preferable:
+
+    ((car x)                            ;Any Emacs
+     (cdr x)
+     foo)
+
+    ((car x) (cdr x)                    ;Edwin
+             foo)
+
+  Rationale:  The operands should be aligned, as if it were any other
+  procedure call with a name in the operator position; anything other
+  than this is confusing because it gives some operands greater visual
+  distinction, allowing others to hide from the viewer's sight.  For
+  example, the questionable indentation
+
+    ((car x) (cdr x)
+     foo)
+
+  can make it hard to see that FOO and (CDR X) are both operands here
+  at the same level.  However, GNU Emacs will generate that indentation
+  by default.  (Edwin will not.)
+
+,**** Strings
+
+If the form in question is meant to be simply a list of literal data,
+all of the subforms should be aligned to the same column, irrespective
+of the first subform.
+
+  Unacceptable:
+
+    ("foo" "bar" "baz" "quux" "zot"
+           "mumble" "frotz" "gargle" "mumph")
+
+  Questionable, but acceptable:
+
+    (3 1 4 1 5 9 2 6 5 3 5 8 9 7 9 3 2 3 8 4 6 2 6 4
+       3 3 8 3 2 7 9 5 0 2 8 8 4 1 9 7 1 6 9 3 9 9 3)
+
+  Acceptable:
+
+    ("foo" "bar" "baz" "quux" "zot"
+     "mumble" "frotz" "gargle" "mumph")
+
+    ("foo"
+     "bar" "baz" "quux" "zot"
+     "mumble" "frotz" "gargle" "mumph")
+
+  Rationale:  Seldom is the first subform distinguished for any reason,
+  if it is a literal; usually in this case it indicates pure data, not
+  code.  Some editors and pretty-printers, however, will indent
+  unacceptably in the example given unless the second subform is on the
+  next line anyway, which is why the last way to write the fragment is
+  usually best.
+
+,** Names
+
+Naming is subtle and elusive.  Bizarrely, it is simultaneously
+insignificant, because an object is independent of and unaffected by
+the many names by which we refer to it, and also of supreme
+importance, because it is what programming -- and, indeed, almost
+everything that we humans deal with -- is all about.  A full
+discussion of the concept of name lies far outside the scope of this
+document, and could surely fill not even a book but a library.
+
+Symbolic names are written with English words separated by hyphens.
+Scheme and Common Lisp both fold the case of names in programs;
+consequently, camel case is frowned upon, and not merely because it is
+ugly.  Underscores are unacceptable separators except for names that
+were derived directly from a foreign language without translation.
+
+  Unacceptable:
+
+    XMLHttpRequest
+    foreach
+    append_map
+
+  Acceptable:
+
+    xml-http-request
+    for-each
+    append-map
+
+,*** Funny Characters
+
+There are several different conventions in different Lisps for the use
+of non-alphanumeric characters in names.
+
+,**** Scheme
+
+,***** Question Marks: Predicates
+
+Affix a question mark to the end of a name for a procedure whose
+purpose is to ask a question of an object and to yield a boolean
+answer.  Such procedures are called `predicates'.  Do not use a
+question mark if the procedure may return any object other than a
+boolean.
+
+  Examples:  pair? procedure? proper-list?
+  Non-examples:  member assoc any every
+
+Pronounce the question mark as if it were the isolated letter `p'.  For
+example, to read the fragment (PAIR? OBJECT) aloud, say: `pair-pee
+object.'
+
+,***** Exclamation Marks: Destructive Operations
+
+Affix an exclamation mark to the end of a name for a procedure (or
+macro) whose primary purpose is to modify an object.  Such procedures
+are called `destructive'.
+
+  Examples: set-car! append!
+
+Avoid using the exclamation mark willy nilly for just *any* procedure
+whose operation involves any kind of mutation or side effect; instead,
+use the exclamation mark to identify procedures that exist *solely* for
+the purpose of destructive update (e.g., SET-CAR!), or to distinguish a
+destructive, or potentially destructive (in the case of linear-update
+operations such as APPEND!), variant of a procedure of which there also
+exists a purely functional variant (e.g., APPEND).
+
+Pronounce the exclamation mark as `bang'.  For example, to read the
+fragment (APPEND! LIST TAIL) aloud, say: `append-bang list tail.'
+
+,***** Asterisks: Variants, Internal Routines, Mutable Globals
+
+Affix an asterisk to the end of a name to make a variation on a theme
+of the original name.
+
+  Example: let -> let*
+
+Prefer a meaningful name over an asterisk; the asterisk does not
+explain what variation on the theme the name means.
+
+Affix an asterisk to the beginning of a name to make an internal
+routine for that name.  Again, prefer a meaningful name over an
+asterisk.
+
+Affix asterisks to the beginning and end of a globally mutable
+variable.  This allows the reader of the program to recognize very
+easily that it is badly written!
+
+,***** `WITH-' and `CALL-WITH-': Dynamic State and Cleanup
+
+Prefix `WITH-' to any procedure that establishes dynamic state and
+calls a nullary procedure, which should be the last (required)
+argument.  The dynamic state should be established for the extent of
+the nullary procedure, and should be returned to its original state
+after that procedure returns.
+
+  Examples: with-input-from-file with-output-to-file
+
+  Exception:  Some systems provide a procedure (WITH-CONTINUATION
+  <continuation> <thunk>), which calls <thunk> in the given
+  continuation, using that continuation's dynamic state.  If <thunk>
+  returns, it will return to <continuation>, not to the continuation of
+  the call to WITH-CONTINUATION.  This is acceptable.
+
+Prefix `CALL-WITH-' to any procedure that calls a procedure, which
+should be its last argument, with some arguments, and is either somehow
+dependent upon the dynamic state or continuation of the program, or
+will perform some action to clean up data after the procedure argument
+returns.  Generally, `CALL-WITH-' procedures should return the values
+that the procedure argument returns, after performing the cleaning
+action.
+
+  Examples:
+
+  - CALL-WITH-INPUT-FILE and CALL-WITH-OUTPUT-FILE both accept a
+    pathname and a procedure as an argument, open that pathname (for
+    input or output, respectively), and call the procedure with one
+    argument, a port corresponding with the file named by the given
+    pathname.  After the procedure returns, CALL-WITH-INPUT-FILE and
+    CALL-WITH-OUTPUT-FILE close the file that they opened, and return
+    whatever the procedure returned.
+
+  - CALL-WITH-CURRENT-CONTINUATION is dependent on the continuation
+    with which it was called, and passes as an argument an escape
+    procedure corresponding with that continuation.
+
+  - CALL-WITH-OUTPUT-STRING, a common but non-standard procedure
+    definable in terms of OPEN-OUTPUT-STRING and GET-OUTPUT-STRING from
+    SRFI 6 (Basic String Ports), calls its procedure argument with an
+    output port, and returns a string of all of the output written to
+    that port.  Note that it does not return what the procedure
+    argument returns, which is an exception to the above rule.
+
+Generally, the distinction between these two classes of procedures is
+that `CALL-WITH-...' procedures should not establish fresh dynamic
+state and instead pass explicit arguments to their procedure arguments,
+whereas `WITH-...' should do the opposite and establish dynamic state
+while passing zero arguments to their procedure arguments.
+
+,** Comments
+
+Write heading comments with at least four semicolons; see also the
+section below titled `Outline Headings'.
+
+Write top-level comments with three semicolons.
+
+Write comments on a particular fragment of code before that fragment
+and aligned with it, using two semicolons.
+
+Write margin comments with one semicolon.
+
+The only comments in which omission of a space between the semicolon
+and the text is acceptable are margin comments.
+
+  Examples:
+
+    ;;;; Frob Grovel
+
+    ;;; This section of code has some important implications:
+    ;;;   1. Foo.
+    ;;;   2. Bar.
+    ;;;   3. Baz.
+
+    (define (fnord zarquon)
+      ;; If zob, then veeblefitz.
+      (quux zot
+            mumble             ;Zibblefrotz.
+            frotz))
+
+,* Riastradh's Non-Standard Rules
+
+Three principles guide this style, roughly ordered according to
+descending importance:
+
+1. The purpose of a program is to describe an idea, and not the way
+   that the idea must be realized; the intent of the program's meaning,
+   rather than peripheral details that are irrelevant to its intent,
+   should be the focus of the program, *irrespective* of whether a
+   human or a machine is reading it.  [It would be nice to express this
+   principle more concisely.]
+
+2. The sum of the parts is easier to understand than the whole.
+
+3. Aesthetics matters.  No one enjoys reading an ugly program.
+
+,** General Layout
+
+This section contains rules that the author has found generally helpful
+in keeping his programs clean and presentable, though they are not
+especially philosophically interesting.
+
+Contained in the rationale for some of the following rules are
+references to historical limitations of terminals and printers, which
+are now considered aging cruft of no further relevance to today's
+computers.  Such references are made only to explain specific measures
+chosen for some of the rules, such as a limit of eighty columns per
+line, or sixty-six lines per page.  There is a real reason for each of
+the rules, and this real reason is not intrinsically related to the
+historical measures, which are mentioned only for the sake of
+providing some arbitrary measure for the limit.
+
+,*** File Length
+
+If a file exceeds five hundred twelve lines, begin to consider
+splitting it into multiple files.  Do not write program files that
+exceed one thousand twenty-four lines.  Write a concise but
+descriptive title at the top of each file, and include no content in
+the file that is unrelated to its title.
+
+  Rationale:  Files that are any larger should generally be factored
+  into smaller parts.  (One thousand twenty-four is a nicer number than
+  one thousand.)  Identifying the purpose of the file helps to break it
+  into parts if necessary and to ensure that nothing unrelated is
+  included accidentally.
+
+,*** Top-Level Form Length
+
+Do not write top-level forms that exceed twenty-one lines, except for
+top-level forms that serve only the purpose of listing large sets of
+data.  If a procedure exceeds this length, split it apart and give
+names to its parts.  Avoid names formed simply by appending a number
+to the original procedure's name; give meaningful names to the parts.
+
+  Rationale:  Top-level forms, especially procedure definitions, that
+  exceed this length usually combine too many concepts under one name.
+  Readers of the code are likely to more easily understand the code if
+  it is composed of separately named parts.  Simply appending a number
+  to the original procedure's name can help only the letter of the
+  rule, not the spirit, however, even if the procedure was taken from a
+  standard algorithm description.  Using comments to mark the code with
+  its corresponding place in the algorithm's description is acceptable,
+  but the algorithm should be split up in meaningful fragments anyway.
+
+  Rationale for the number twenty-one:  Twenty-one lines, at a maximum
+  of eighty columns per line, fits in a GNU Emacs instance running in a
+  24x80 terminal.  Although the terminal may have twenty-four lines,
+  three of the lines are occupied by GNU Emacs: one for the menu bar
+  (which the author of this guide never uses, but which occupies a line
+  nevertheless in a vanilla GNU Emacs installation), one for the mode
+  line, and one for the minibuffer's window.  The writer of some code
+  may not be limited to such a terminal, but the author of this style
+  guide often finds it helpful to have at least four such terminals or
+  Emacs windows open simultaneously, spread across a twelve-inch laptop
+  screen, to view multiple code fragments.
+
+,*** Line Length
+
+Do not write lines that exceed eighty columns, or if possible
+seventy-two.
+
+  Rationale:  Following multiple lines that span more columns is
+  difficult for humans, who must remember the line of focus and scan
+  right to left from the end of the previous line to the beginning of
+  the next line; the more columns there are, the harder this is to do.
+  Sticking to a fixed limit helps to improve readability.
+
+  Rationale for the numbers eighty and seventy-two:  It is true that we
+  have very wide screens these days, and we are no longer limited to
+  eighty-column terminals; however, we ought to exploit our wide
+  screens not by writing long lines, but by viewing multiple fragments
+  of code in parallel, something that the author of this guide does
+  very often.  Seventy-two columns leave room for several nested layers
+  of quotation in email messages before the code reaches eighty
+  columns.  Also, a fixed column limit yields nicer printed output,
+  especially in conjunction with pagination; see the section
+  `Pagination' below.
+
+,*** Blank Lines
+
+Separate each adjacent top-level form with a single blank line (i.e.
+two line breaks).  If two blank lines seem more appropriate, break the
+page instead.  Do not place blank lines in the middle of a procedure
+body, except to separate internal definitions; if there is a blank
+line for any other reason, split the top-level form up into multiple
+ones.
+
+  Rationale:  More than one blank line is distracting and sloppy.  If
+  the two concepts that are separated by multiple blank lines are
+  really so distinct that such a wide separator is warranted, then
+  they are probably better placed on separate pages anyway; see the
+  next section, `Pagination'.
+
+,*** Pagination
+
+Separate each file into pages of no more than sixty-six lines and no
+fewer than forty lines with form feeds (ASCII #x0C, or ^L, written in
+Emacs with `C-q C-l'), on either side of which is a single line break
+(but not a blank line).
+
+  Rationale:  Keeping distinct concepts laid out on separate pages
+  helps to keep them straight.  This is helpful not only for the
+  writer of the code, but also for the reader.  It also allows readers
+  of the code to print it onto paper without fiddling with printer
+  settings to permit pages of more than sixty-six lines (which is the
+  default number for many printers), and pagination also makes the
+  code easier to navigate in Emacs, with the `C-x [' and `C-x ]' keys
+  (`backward-page' and `forward-page', respectively).  To avoid
+  excessively small increments of page-by-page navigation, and to
+  avoid wasting paper, each page should generally exceed forty lines.
+
+  `C-x l' in Emacs will report the number of lines in the page on which
+  the point lies; this is useful for finding where pagination is
+  necessary.
+
+,*** Outline Headings
+
+Use Emacs's Outline Mode to give titles to the pages, and if
+appropriate a hierarchical structure.  Set `outline-regexp' (or
+`outline-pattern' in Edwin) to "\f\n;;;;+ ", so that each form feed
+followed by an line break followed by at least four semicolons and a
+space indicates an outline heading to Emacs.  Use four semicolons for
+the highest level of headings in the hierarchy, and one more for each
+successively nested level of hierarchy.
+
+  Rationale:  Not only does this clarify the organization of the code,
+  but readers of the code can then navigate the code's structure with
+  Outline Mode commands such as `C-c C-f', `C-c C-b', `C-c C-u', and
+  `C-c C-d' (forward, backward, up, down, respectively, headings).
+
+,*** Dependencies
+
+When writing a file or module, minimize its dependencies.  If there are
+too many dependencies, consider breaking the module up into several
+parts, and writing another module that is the sum of the parts and that
+depends only on the parts, not their dependencies.
+
+  Rationale:  A fragment of a program with fewer dependencies is less
+  of a burden on the reader's cognition.  The reader can more easily
+  understand the fragment in isolation; humans are very good at local
+  analyses, and terrible at global ones.
+
+,** Naming
+
+This section requires an elaborate philosophical discussion which the
+author is too ill to have the energy to write at this moment.
+
+Compose concise but meaningful names.  Do not cheat by abbreviating
+words or using contractions.
+
+  Rationale:  Abbreviating words in names does not make them shorter;
+  it only makes them occupy less screen space.  The reader still must
+  understand the whole long name.  This does not mean, however, that
+  names should necessarily be long; they should be descriptive.  Some
+  long names are more descriptive than some short names, but there are
+  also descriptive names that are not long and long names that are not
+  descriptive.  Here is an example of a long name that is not
+  descriptive, from SchMUSE, a multi-user simulation environment
+  written in MIT Scheme:
+
+    frisk-descriptor-recursive-subexpr-descender-for-frisk-descr-env
+
+  Not only is it long (sixty-four characters) and completely
+  impenetrable, but halfway through its author decided to abbreviate
+  some words as well!
+
+Do not write single-letter variable names.  Give local variables
+meaningful names composed from complete English words.
+
+  Rationale:  It is tempting to reason that local variables are
+  invisible to other code, so it is OK to be messy with their names.
+  This is faulty reasoning: although the next person to come along and
+  use a library may not care about anything but the top-level
+  definitions that it exports, this is not the only audience of the
+  code.  Someone will also want to read the code later on, and if it is
+  full of impenetrably terse variable names without meaning, that
+  someone will have a hard time reading the code.
+
+Give names to intermediate values where their expressions do not
+adequately describe them.
+
+  Rationale:  An `expression' is a term that expresses some value.
+  Although a machine needs no higher meaning for this value, and
+  although it should be written to be sufficiently clear for a human to
+  understand what it means, the expression might mean something more
+  than just what it says where it is used.  Consequently, it is helpful
+  for humans to see names given to expressions.
+
+  Example:  A hash table HASH-TABLE maps foos to bars; (HASH-TABLE/GET
+  HASH-TABLE FOO #F) expresses the datum that HASH-TABLE maps FOO to,
+  but that expression gives the reader no hint of any information
+  concerning that datum.  (LET ((BAR (HASH-TABLE/GET HASH-TABLE FOO
+  #F))) ...)  gives a helpful name for the reader to understand the
+  code without having to find the definition of HASH-TABLE.
+
+  Index variables such as i and j, or variables such as A and D naming
+  the car and cdr of a pair, are acceptable only if they are completely
+  unambiguous in the scope.  For example,
+
+    (do ((i 0 (+ i 1)))
+        ((= i (vector-length vector)))
+      (frobnicate (vector-ref vector i)))
+
+  is acceptable because the scope of i is very clearly limited to a
+  single vector.  However, if more vectors are involved, using more
+  index variables such as j and k will obscure the program further.
+
+Avoid functional combinators, or, worse, the point-free (or
+`point-less') style of code that is popular in the Haskell world.  At
+most, use function composition only where the composition of functions
+is the crux of the idea being expressed, rather than simply a procedure
+that happens to be a composition of two others.
+
+  Rationale:  Tempting as it may be to recognize patterns that can be
+  structured as combinations of functional combinators -- say, `compose
+  this procedure with the projection of the second argument of that
+  other one', or (COMPOSE FOO (PROJECT 2 BAR)) --, the reader of the
+  code must subsequently examine the elaborate structure that has been
+  built up to obscure the underlying purpose.  The previous fragment
+  could have been written (LAMBDA (A B) (FOO (BAR B))), which is in
+  fact shorter, and which tells the reader directly what argument is
+  being passed on to what, and what argument is being ignored, without
+  forcing the reader to search for the definitions of FOO and BAR or
+  the call site of the final composition.  The explicit fragment
+  contains substantially more information when intermediate values are
+  named, which is very helpful for understanding it and especially for
+  modifying it later on.
+
+  The screen space that can be potentially saved by using functional
+  combinators is made up for by the cognitive effort on the part of the
+  reader.  The reader should not be asked to search globally for usage
+  sites in order to understand a local fragment.  Only if the structure
+  of the composition really is central to the point of the narrative
+  should it be written as such.  For example, in a symbolic integrator
+  or differentiator, composition is an important concept, but in most
+  code the structure of the composition is completely irrelevant to the
+  real point of the code.
+
+If a parameter is ignored, give it a meaningful name nevertheless and
+say that it is ignored; do not simply call it `ignored'.
+
+In Common Lisp, variables can be ignored with (DECLARE (IGNORE ...)).
+Some Scheme systems have similar declarations, but the portable way to
+ignore variables is just to write them in a command context, where
+their values will be discarded, preferably with a comment indicating
+this purpose:
+
+  (define (foo x y z)
+    x z                         ;ignore
+    (frobnitz y))
+
+  Rationale:  As with using functional combinators to hide names,
+  avoiding meaningful names for ignored parameters only obscures the
+  purpose of the program.  It is helpful for a reader to understand
+  what parameters a procedure is independent of, or if someone wishes
+  to change the procedure later on, it is helpful to know what other
+  parameters are available.  If the ignored parameters were named
+  meaninglessly, then these people would be forced to search for call
+  sites of the procedure in order to get a rough idea of what
+  parameters might be passed here.
+
+When naming top-level bindings, assume namespace partitions unless in a
+context where they are certain to be absent.  Do not write explicit
+namespace prefixes, such as FOO:BAR for an operation BAR in a module
+FOO, unless the names will be used in a context known not to have any
+kind of namespace partitions.
+
+  Rationale:  Explicit namespace prefixes are ugly, and lengthen names
+  without adding much semantic content.  Common Lisp has its package
+  system to separate the namespaces of symbols; most Schemes have
+  mechanisms to do so as well, even if the RnRS do not specify any.  It
+  is better to write clear names which can be disambiguated if
+  necessary, rather than to write names that assume some kind of
+  disambiguation to be necessary to begin with.  Furthermore, explicit
+  namespace prefixes are inadequate to cover name clashes anyway:
+  someone else might choose the same namespace prefix.  Relegating this
+  issue to a module system removes it from the content of the program,
+  where it is uninteresting.
+
+,** Comments
+
+Write comments only where the code is incapable of explaining itself.
+Prefer self-explanatory code over explanatory comments.  Avoid
+`literate programming' like the plague.
+
+  Rationale:  If the code is often incapable of explaining itself, then
+  perhaps it should be written in a more expressive language.  This may
+  mean using a different programming language altogether, or, since we
+  are talking about Lisp, it may mean simply building a combinator
+  language or a macro language for the purpose.  `Literate programming'
+  is the logical conclusion of languages incapable of explaining
+  themselves; it is a direct concession of the inexpressiveness of the
+  computer language implementing the program, to the extent that the
+  only way a human can understand the program is by having it rewritten
+  in a human language.
+
+Do not write interface documentation in the comments for the
+implementation of the interface.  Explain the interface at the top of
+the file if it is a single-file library, or put that documentation in
+another file altogether.  (See the `Documentation' section below if the
+interface documentation comments grow too large for a file.)
+
+  Rationale:  A reader who is interested only in the interface really
+  should not need to read through the implementation to pick out its
+  interface; by putting the interface documentation at the top, not
+  only is such a reader's task of identifying the interface made
+  easier, but the implementation code can be more liberally commented
+  without fear of distracting this reader.  To a reader who is
+  interested in the implementation as well, the interface is still
+  useful in order to understand what concepts the implementation is
+  implementing.
+
+  Example: <http://mumble.net/~campbell/scheme/skip-list.scm>
+
+  In this example of a single-file library implementing the skip list
+  data structure, the first page explains the purpose and dependencies
+  of the file (which are useful for anyone who intends to use it, even
+  though dependencies are really implementation details), and the next
+  few pages explain the usage of skip lists as implemented in that
+  file.  On the first page of implementation, `Skip List Structure',
+  there are some comments of interest only to a reader who wishes to
+  understand the implementation; the same goes for the rest of the
+  file, none of which must a reader read whose interest is only in the
+  usage of the library.
+
+Avoid block comments (i.e. #| ... |#).  Use S-expression comments (`#;'
+in Scheme, with the expression to comment on the next line; `#+(OR)' or
+`#-(AND)' in Common Lisp) to comment out whole expressions.  Use blocks
+of line comments for text.
+
+  Rationale:  Editor support for block comments is weak, because it
+  requires keeping a detailed intermediate parse state of the whole
+  buffer, which most Emacsen do not do.  At the very least, #|| ... ||#
+  is better, because most Emacsen will see vertical bars as symbol
+  delimiters, and lose trying to read a very, very long symbol, if they
+  try to parse #| ... |#, whereas they will just see two empty symbols
+  and otherwise innocuous text between them if they try to parse #||
+  ... ||#.  In any case, in Emacs, `M-x comment-region RET', or `M-;'
+  (comment-dwim), is trivial to type.
+
+  The only standard comments in Scheme are line comments.  There are
+  SRFIs for block comments and S-expression comments, but support for
+  them varies from system to system.  Expression comments are not hard
+  for editors to deal with because it is safe not to deal with them at
+  all; however, in Scheme S-expression comments, which are written by
+  prefixing an expression with `#;', the expression to be commented
+  should be placed on the next line.  This is because editors that do
+  not deal with them at all may see the semicolon as the start of a
+  line comment, which will throw them off.  Expression comments in
+  Common Lisp, however, are always safe.
+
+  In Common Lisp, the two read-time optionals that are guaranteed to
+  ignore any form following them are `#+(OR)' and `#-(AND)'.  `#+NIL'
+  is sometimes used in their stead, but, while it may appear to be an
+  obviously false optional, it actually is not.  The feature
+  expressions are read in the KEYWORD package, so NIL is read not as
+  CL:NIL, i.e. the boolean false value, but as :NIL, a keyword symbol
+  whose name happens to be `NIL'.  Not only is it not read as the
+  boolean false value, but it has historically been used to indicate a
+  feature that might be enabled -- in JonL White's New Implementation
+  of Lisp!  However, the New Implementation of Lisp is rather old these
+  days, and unlikely to matter much...until Alastair Bridgewater writes
+  Nyef's Implementation of Lisp.
+
+,** Documentation
+
+On-line references and documentation/manuals are both useful for
+independent purposes, but there is a very fine distinction between
+them.  Do not generate documentation or manuals automatically from the
+text of on-line references.
+
+  Rationale: /On-line references/ are quick blurbs associated with
+  objects in a running Lisp image, such as documentation strings in
+  Common Lisp or Emacs Lisp.  These assume that the reader is familiar
+  with the gist of the surrounding context, but unclear on details;
+  on-line references specify the details of individual objects.
+
+  /Documentation/ and /manuals/ are fuller, organized, and cohesive
+  documents that explain the surrounding context to readers who are
+  unfamiliar with it.  A reader should be able to pick a manual up and
+  begin reading it at some definite point, perusing it linearly to
+  acquire an understanding of the subject.  Although manuals may be
+  dominated by reference sections, they should still have sections that
+  are linearly readable to acquaint the reader with context.
+
+,** Round and Square Brackets
+
+Some implementations of Scheme provide a non-standard extension of the
+lexical syntax whereby balanced pairs of square brackets are
+semantically indistinguishable from balanced pairs of round brackets.
+Do not use this extension.
+
+  Rationale:  Because this is a non-standard extension, it creates
+  inherently non-portable code, of a nature much worse than using a
+  name in the program which is not defined by the R5RS.  The reason
+  that we have distinct typographical symbols in the first place is to
+  express different meaning.  The only distinction between round
+  brackets and square brackets is in convention, but the precise nature
+  of the convention is not specified by proponents of square brackets,
+  who suggest that they be used for `clauses', or for forms that are
+  parts of enclosing forms.  This would lead to such constructions as
+
+    (let [(x 5) (y 3)] ...)
+
+  or
+
+    (let ([x 5] [y 3]) ...)
+
+  or
+
+    (let [[x 5] [y 3]] ...),
+
+  the first two of which the author of this guide has seen both of, and
+  the last of which does nothing to help to distinguish the parentheses
+  anyway.
+
+  The reader of the code should not be forced to stumble over a
+  semantic identity because it is expressed by a syntactic distinction.
+  The reader's focus should not be directed toward the lexical tokens;
+  it should be directed toward the structure, but using square brackets
+  draws the reader's attention unnecessarily to the lexical tokens.

+
+  # TODO when the code supports mda-wrappers, add in this documentation.
+  # - ~mda-wrappers~
+
+  - ~mta-max-deferred~ (default: ~100~)

+
+  - ~queue~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    ~queue~ expects an ~<opensmtpd-queue-configuration>~ record. With it, one may

+    ~<opensmtpd-table-configuration>~ whose users are authenticated against
+    their passwords.
+
+  - ~auth-optional~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    Support SMTPAUTH optionally: clients need not authenticate, but may do so.
+    This allows the ~<opensmtpd-listen-on-configuration>~ to both accept
+    incoming mail from untrusted senders and permit outgoing mail from
+    authenticated users (using ~<opensmtpd-match-configuration>~ fieldname
+    ~auth~). It can be used in situations where it is not possible to listen on

+    authenticate.
+
+  - ~filters~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    A list of one or many ~<opensmtpd-filter-configuration>~ or

+  - ~hostname~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    Use string "hostname" in the greeting banner instead of the default server
+    name.
+
+  - ~hostnames~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    Override the server name for specific addresses. Use a
+    ~<opensmtpd-table-configuration>~ containing a mapping of string IP
+    addresses to hostnames. If the address on which the connection arrives
+    appears in the mapping, the associated hostname is used.
+
+  - ~mask-src~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    If ~#t~, then omit the from part when prepending “Received” headers.
+
+  - ~disable-dsn~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    When ~#t~, then disable the DSN (Delivery Status Notification) extension.
+
+  - ~pki~ (default: ~#f~)

+    to prove a mail server's identity.
+
+  - ~port~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    Listen on the _integer_ port instead of the default port of 25.
+
+  - ~proxy-v2~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    If ~#t~, then support the PROXYv2 protocol, rewriting appropriately source
+    address received from proxy.
+
+  - ~received-auth~ (default: ~#f~)

+    Look up the authenticated user in the supplied
+    ~<opensmtpd-table-configuration>~ to find the email addresses that user is
+    allowed to submit mail as.
+
+  - ~secure-connection~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    This is a string of one of these options:
+
+    |----------------------+---------------------------------------------|

+    |----------------------+---------------------------------------------|
+    | "tls"                | Support STARTTLS, by default on port 25.    |
+    |----------------------+---------------------------------------------|
+    | "tls-require-verify" | Like tls, but force clients to establish    |
+    |                      | a secure connection before being allowed to |
+    |                      | start an SMTP transaction.  With the verify |
+    |                      | option, clients must also provide a valid   |
+    |                      | certificate to establish an SMTP session.   |

+   spamassassin.
+
+  - ~name~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    The string name of the filter.
+
+  - ~proc~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    # TODO let ~proc~ be a gexp
+    The string command or process name.  If ~proc-exec~ is ~#t~, ~proc~ is
+    treated as a command to execute.  Otherwise, it is a process name.
+
+  - ~proc-exec~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+- Data Type: opensmtpd-filter-phase-configuration
+
+   This data type represents the configuration of an
+   ~<opensmtpd-filter-phase-configuration>~.
+
+   In a regular workflow, smtpd(8) may accept or reject a message based only on
+   the content of envelopes. Its decisions are about the handling of the message,
+   not about the handling of an active session.
+
+   Filtering extends the decision making process by allowing smtpd(8) to stop at
+   each phase of an SMTP session, check that options are met, then decide if a
+   session is allowed to move forward.
+
+   With filtering via an ~<opensmtpd-filter-phase-configuration>~ record, a
+   session may be interrupted at any phase before an envelope is complete. A
+   message may also be rejected after being submitted, regardless of whether the
+   envelope was accepted or not.
+
+  - ~name~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    The string name of the filter phase.
+
+  - ~phase-name~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    The string name of the phase. Valid values are:
+
+   |-------------+-----------------------------------------------|
+   | "connect"   | upon connection, before a banner is displayed |
+   |-------------+-----------------------------------------------|
+   | "helo"      | after HELO command is submitted               |
+   |-------------+-----------------------------------------------|
+   | "ehlo"      | after EHLO command is submitted               |
+   |-------------+-----------------------------------------------|
+   | "mail-from" | after MAIL FROM command is submitted          |
+   |-------------+-----------------------------------------------|
+   | "rcpt-to"   | after RCPT TO command is submitted            |
+   |-------------+-----------------------------------------------|
+   | "data"      | after DATA command is submitted               |
+   |-------------+-----------------------------------------------|
+   | "commit"    | after message is fully is submitted           |
+   |-------------+-----------------------------------------------|
+
+  - ~options~ (default ~#f~)
+
+    A list of unique ~<opensmtpd-option-configuration>~ records.
+
+    At each phase, various options, specified by a list of
+    ~<opensmtpd-option-configuration>~, may be checked. The
+    ~<opensmtpd-option-configuration>~'s fieldname 'option' values of: "fcrdns",
+    "rdns", and "src" data are available in all phases, but other data must have
+    been already submitted before they are available. Options with a =<table>=
+    next to them require the ~<opensmtpd-option-configuration>~'s fieldname
+    ~data~ to be an ~<opensmtpd-table-configuration>~. There are the available
+    options:
+
+    |-------------------+----------------------------------------|
+    | fcrdns            | forward-confirmed reverse DNS is valid |
+    |-------------------+----------------------------------------|
+    | rdns              | session has a reverse DNS              |
+    |-------------------+----------------------------------------|
+    | rdns <table>      | session has a reverse DNS in table     |
+    |-------------------+----------------------------------------|
+    | src <table>       | source address is in table             |
+    |-------------------+----------------------------------------|
+    | helo <table>      | helo name is in table                  |
+    |-------------------+----------------------------------------|
+    | auth              | session is authenticated               |
+    |-------------------+----------------------------------------|
+    | auth <table>      | session username is in table           |
+    |-------------------+----------------------------------------|
+    | mail-from <table> | sender address is in table             |
+    |-------------------+----------------------------------------|
+    | rcpt-to <table>   | recipient address is in table          |
+    |-------------------+----------------------------------------|
+
+    These conditions may all be negated by setting
+    ~<opensmtpd-option-configuration>~'s fieldname ~not~ to ~#t~.
+
+    Any conditions that require a table may indicate that tables include regexs
+    setting ~<opensmtpd-option-configuration>~'s fieldname ~regex~ to ~#t~.
+
+  - ~decision~
+
+    A string decision to be taken. Some decisions require an ~message~ or
+    ~value~. Valid strings are:
+
+   |----------------------+------------------------------------------------|
+   | "bypass"             | the session or transaction bypasses filters    |
+   |----------------------+------------------------------------------------|
+   | "disconnect" message | the session is disconnected with message       |
+   |----------------------+------------------------------------------------|
+   | "junk"               | the session or transaction is junked, i.e., an |
+   |                      | ‘X-Spam: yes’ header is added to any messages  |
+   |----------------------+------------------------------------------------|
+   | "reject" message     | the command is rejected with message           |
+   |----------------------+------------------------------------------------|
+   | "rewrite" value      | the command parameter is rewritten with value  |
+   |----------------------+------------------------------------------------|
+
+    Decisions that involve a message require that the message be RFC valid,
+    meaning that they should either start with a 4xx or 5xx status code.
+    Descisions can be taken at any phase, though junking can only happen before
+    a message is committed.
+
+  - ~message~ (default ~#f~)
+
+    A string message beginning with a 4xx or 5xx status code.
+
+  - ~value~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+   A number value.  ~value~ and ~message~ are mutually exclusive.
+
+- Data Type: opensmtpd-option-configuration
+
+  This data type represents the configuration of an
+  ~<opensmtpd-option-configuration>~, which is used by
+  ~<opensmtpd-filter-phase-configuration>~ and ~<opensmtpd-match-configuration>~
+  to match various options for email.
+
+  - ~conditition~ (default ~#f~)
+
+    A string option to be taken. Some options require a string or an
+    ~<opensmtpd-table-configuration>~ via the fieldname data. When the option
+    record is used inside of an ~<opensmtpd-filter-phase-configuration>~, then
+    valid strings are:
+
+    At each phase, various options may be matched. The fcrdns, rdns, and src
+    data are available in all phases, but other data must have been already
+    submitted before they are available.
+
+    |---------------------+----------------------------------------|
+    | "fcrdns"            | forward-confirmed reverse DNS is valid |
+    | "rdns"              | session has a reverse DNS              |
+    | "rdns" <table>      | session has a reverse DNS in table     |
+    | "src" <table>       | source address is in table             |
+    | "helo" <table>      | helo name is in table                  |

+    | "auth" <table>      | session username is in table           |
+    | "mail-from" <table> | sender address is in table             |
+    | "rcpt-to" <table>   | recipient address is in table          |
+    |---------------------+----------------------------------------|
+
+    When ~<opensmtpd-option-configuration>~ is used inside of an
+    ~<opensmtpd-match-configuration>~, then valid strigs for fieldname ~option~
+    are: "for", "for any", "for local", "for domain", "for rcpt-to", "from any"
+    "from auth", "from local", "from mail-from", "from rdns", "from socket",
+    "from src", "auth", "helo", "mail-from", "rcpt-to", "tag", or "tls".
+
+  - ~data~ (default ~#f~) ~<opensmtpd-table-configuration>~
+
+    Some options require a table to be present. One would specify that table
+    here.
+  - ~regex~ (default: ~#f~) boolean
+
+    Any options using a table may indicate that tables hold regex by
+    prefixing the table name with the keyword regex.
+  - ~not~ (default: ~#f~) boolean
+
+    When ~#t~, this option record is negated.
+
+- Data Type: opensmtpd-table-configuration
+
+  This data type represents the configuration of an
+  ~<opensmtpd-table-configuration>~.
+
+  - ~name~ (default ~#f~)
+
+    ~name~ is the name of the ~<opensmtpd-table-configuration>~ record.
+
+  - ~data~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    ~data~ expects a list of strings or an alist, which is a list of
+    cons cells.  eg: ~(data (list ("james" . "password")))~ OR
+    ~(data (list ("gnu.org" "fsf.org")))~.
+
+- Data Type: opensmtpd-pki-configuration
+
+  This data type represents the configuration of an
+  ~<opensmtpd-pki-configuration>~.
+
+  - ~domain~ (default ~#f~)
+
+    ~domain~ is the string name of the ~<opensmtpd-pki-configuration>~ record.
+
+  - ~cert~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    ~cert~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    ~cert~ is the string certificate filename to use for this pki.
+
+  - ~key~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    ~key~ is the string certificate falename to use for this pki.
+
+  - ~dhe~ (default: ~"none"~)
+
+    Specify the DHE string parameter to use for DHE cipher suites with host
+    pkiname. Valid parameter values are "none", "legacy", or "auto". For "legacy", a
+    fixed key length of 1024 bits is used, whereas for "auto", the key length is
+    determined automatically. The default is "none", which disables DHE cipher
+    suites.
+
+- Data Type: opensmtpd-maildir-configuration
+
+  - ~pathname~ (default: ~"~/Maildir"~)
+
+    Deliver the message to the maildir if pathname if specified, or by default
+    to =~/Maildir=.
+
+    The pathname may contain format specifiers that are expanded before use
+    (see FORMAT SPECIFIERS).
+
+  - ~junk~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    If the junk argument is ~#t~, then the message will be moved to the =‘Junk’=
+    folder if it contains a positive =‘X-Spam’= header. This folder will be
+    created under pathname if it does not yet exist.
+
+- Data Type: opensmtpd-mda-configuration
+  # Do we need a dataypte for mda configuration?
+  # this could just be a gexp in the fieldname opensmtpd-configuration-mda
+
+  - ~name~
+
+    The string name for this MDA command.
+
+  - ~command~
+
+    Delegate the delivery to a command that receives the message on its standard
+    input.
+
+    The command may contain format specifiers that are expanded before use (see
+    FORMAT SPECIFIERS).
+
+- Data Type: opensmtpd-queue-configuration
+
+  - ~compression~ (default ~#f~)
+
+    Store queue files in a compressed format. This may be useful to save disk
+    space.
+  - ~encryption~ (default ~#f~)
+
+    Encrypt queue files with EVP_aes_256_gcm(3). If no key is specified, it is
+    read with getpass(3). If the string stdin or a single dash (‘-’) is given
+    instead of a key, the key is read from the standard input.
+  - ~ttl-delay~ (default ~#f~)
+
+    Set the default expiration time for temporarily undeliverable messages,
+    given as a positive decimal integer followed by a unit s, m, h, or d. The
+    default is four days ("4d").
+
+- Data Type: opensmtpd-smtp-configuration
+
+  Data type representing an ~<opensmtpd-smtp-configuration>~ record.
+
+  - ~ciphers~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    Set the control string for SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(3).  The default is
+             "HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5".
+  - ~limit-max-mails~ (default: ~100~)
+
+    Limit the number of messages to count for each sessio
+  - ~limit-max-rcpt~ (default: ~1000~)
+
+    Limit the number of recipients to count for each transaction.
+  - ~max-message-size~ (default: ~35M~)
+
+    Reject messages larger than size, given as a positive number of bytes or as
+    a string to be parsed with scan_scaled(3).
+  - ~sub-addr-delim character~ (default: ~+~)
+
+    When resolving the local part of a local email address, ignore the ASCII
+    character and all characters following it. This is helpful for email
+    filters. ="admin+bills@gnu.org"= is the same email address as
+    ="admin@gnu.org"=. BUT an email filter can filter emails addressed to first
+    email address into a 'Bills' email folder.
+
+- Data Type: opensmtpd-srs-configuration
+
+  - ~key~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+     Set the secret key to use for SRS, the Sender Rewriting Scheme.
+
+  - ~backup-key~ (default: ~#f~)
+
+    Set a backup secret key to use as a fallback for SRS. This can be used to
+    implement SRS key rotation.
+  - ~ttl-delay~ (default: ~"4d"~)
+
+    Set the time-to-live delay for SRS envelopes. After this delay, a bounce
+    reply to the SRS address will be discarded to limit risks of forged
+    addresses.
+
+- Format Specifiers
+
+  Some configuration records support expansion of their parameters at
+  runtime. Such records (for example
+  ~<opensmtpd-maildir-configuration>~, ~<opensmtpd-mda-configuration>~) may use
+  format specifiers which are expanded before delivery or relaying. The
+  following formats are currently supported:
+
+    |---------------------+-------------------------------------------------------|
+    | =%{sender}=         | sender email address, may be empty string             |
+    | =%{sender.user}=    | user part of the sender email address, may be empty   |
+    | =%{sender.domain}=  | domain part of the sender email address, may be empty |
+    | =%{rcpt}=           | recipient email address                               |
+    | =%{rcpt.user}=      | user part of the recipient email address              |
+    | =%{rcpt.domain}=    | domain part of the recipient email address            |
+    | =%{dest}=           | recipient email address after expansion               |
+    | =%{dest.user}=      | user part after expansion                             |
+    | =%{dest.domain}=    | domain part after expansion                           |
+    | =%{user.username}=  | local user                                            |
+    | =%{user.directory}= | home directory of the local user                      |
+    | =%{mbox.from}=      | name used in mbox From separator lines                |
+    | =%{mda}=            | mda command, only available for mda wrappers          |
+    |---------------------+-------------------------------------------------------|
+
+  Expansion formats also support partial expansion using the optional bracket notations
+  with substring offset.  For example, with recipient domain =“example.org”=:
+
+    |------------------------+----------------------|
+    | =%{rcpt.domain[0]}=    | expands to “e”       |
+    | =%{rcpt.domain[1]}=    | expands to “x”       |
+    | =%{rcpt.domain[8:]}=   | expands to “org”     |
+    | =%{rcpt.domain[-3:]}=  | expands to “org”     |
+    | =%{rcpt.domain[0:6]}=  | expands to “example” |
+    | =%{rcpt.domain[0:-4]}= | expands to “example” |
+    |------------------------+----------------------|
+
+  In addition, modifiers may be applied to the token.  For example, with recipient
+  =“User+Tag@Example.org”=:
+
+    |--------------------------+-----------------------------------|
+    | =%{rcpt:lowercase}=      | expands to “user+tag@example.org” |
+    | =%{rcpt:uppercase}=      | expands to “USER+TAG@EXAMPLE.ORG” |
+    | =%{rcpt:strip}=          | expands to “User@Example.org”     |
+    | =%{rcpt:lowercasestrip}= | expands to “user@example.org”     |
+    |--------------------------+-----------------------------------|
+
+  For security concerns, expanded values are sanitized and potentially dangerous
+  characters are replaced with ‘:’. In situations where they are desirable, the
+  “raw” modifier may be applied. For example, with recipient
+  =“user+t?g@example.org”=:
+
+    |---------------+-----------------------------------|
+    | =%{rcpt}=     | expands to “user+t:g@example.org” |
+    | =%{rcpt:raw}= | expands to “user+t?g@example.org” |
+    |---------------+-----------------------------------|

+** PROJ nice things to have [0/9]
+*** TODO Should I delete ~<opensmtpd-mda-configuration>~ ? or fieldname 'opensmtpd-configuration-mda-wrapppers'?
+
+~<opensmtpd-action-local-delivery-configuration>~'s fieldname 'method' allows
+for an mda configuration.  BUT instead of an mda-configuration record, you could
+just use a list of strings and/or gexps.
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+ mda wrapper name command
+             Associate command with the mail delivery agent wrapper named name.  When a local
+             delivery specifies a wrapper, the command associated with the wrapper will be ex‐
+             ecuted instead.  The command may contain format specifiers (see FORMAT
+             SPECIFIERS).
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+If I choose to NOT delete ~<opensmtpd-mda-configuration>~, then should I delete
+'opensmtpd-configuration-mda-wrapppers'?
+
+Also should I delete the opensmtpd-action-local-delivery-configuration-wrapper?
+
+*** TODO make the 'auth-optional' and 'auth' fieldnames for ~<opensmtpd-listen-on-configuration>~ autoencrypt passwords. [0/0]
+Guix makes it pretty hard to find the openbsd binary file that encrypts
+passwords for you.  If I can progmatically find this file, it would be nice to
+autoencrypt the users's passwords for you.
+
+What does this mean practically?
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+(opensmtpd-table-configuration
+ (name "credentials")
+ (data '(("joshua@gnu.org" . "somePassword")
+           ("postmaster@gnu.org") . "anotherSillyPassword")))
+#+END_SRC
+
+Gets stored in /gnu/store/ in the =smtpd.conf= as something like:
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+table credentials { joshua@gnu.org = $some$Long$EncrytpedPassword, \
+                    postmaster@gnu.org = $some$Long$Other$EncrytpedPassword }
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+You would need to encourage users NOT to have passwords in a public git repo.
+With guile-git, it might be possible to sanitize the config, to ensure that the
+passwords are NOT stored in the git repo.
+
+Alternatively, we could put the following in the documentation:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+(use-modules (passwords))
+
+(opensmtpd-table-configuration
+ (name "credentials")
+ (data %passwords))
+#+END_SRC

+**** TODO it would be nice if ~<opensmtpd-table-configuration>~ supported aliasing tables, as described in man 5 table
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+   Aliasing tables
+     Aliasing tables are mappings that associate a recipient to one or many destinations.  They can be
+     used in two contexts: primary domain aliases and virtual domain mapping.
+
+           action name method alias <table>
+           action name method virtual <table>
+
+     In a primary domain context, the key is the user part of the recipient address, whilst the value
+     is one or many recipients as described in aliases(5):
+
+           user1   otheruser
+           user2   otheruser1,otheruser2
+           user3   otheruser@example.com
+
+     In a virtual domain context, the key is either a user part, a full email address or a catch all,
+     following selection rules described in smtpd.conf(5), and the value is one or many recipients as
+     described in aliases(5):
+
+           user1                   otheruser
+           user2@example.org       otheruser1,otheruser2
+           @example.org            otheruser@example.com
+           @                       catchall@example.com
+
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+Currently opensmtpd-table-configuration, does not support mapping a user to 5 email addresses.
+For example, if user 'dave' can email as 'postmaster@gnu.org', and
+'other@gnu.org', and 5 other email addresses...<opensmtpd-table-configuration> does not
+support this kind of mapping.  To support it, I may be able to just embed a
+table in smtpd.conf, or I may need to create an /etc/aliases table as man 5
+aliases describes.

+ procedures][~(list-of-procedures->string procedures)~]].

+
+Why? ~<opensmtpd-filter-phase-configuration>~ fieldnames only accept certain strings. I want to
+sanitize each fieldname to make sure that it's strings is one of those strings.
+How would I do this?
+
+For example, ~<opensmtpd-filter-phase-configuration>~ fieldname 'decision' uses
+a lambda to sanitize itself. This will result in an error message that is
+descriptive enough to solve the problem. If I decide to do this, then I probably
+should create a non-exported record.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+(opensmtpd-filter-phase-configuration (name "cat") (phase-name "connect") (options "fcrdns") (decision "bypasse"))
+#+END_SRC
+
+#+RESULTS:

+: Throw to key `bad!' with args `(#<procedure 3ec75a8 at <unknown port>:972:0 (var)>)'.
+
+A solution may be to modify the my/sanitize procedure to accept something like
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+(my/sanitize var "<record>" "'fieldname'" (list ((lambda (var) ...) . "list of unique numbers or strings")))
+#+END_SRC
+
+I have some example code [[file:opensmtpd-records.scm::;; TODO add in some code that accepts a (cons . cell) that of (proc . "error message") here.][here.]]  It probably won't work, but it is a rough sketch

+Provide appropriate error messages.
+
+There is a trend of guix services that "work" but are not dummy proof. For
+example, the XMPP service wants a cert in the format of "</path/to/cert.key". If
+you omit that leading "<", then the service will not start, and you will NOT
+have any error messages telling you why. It's not easy to figure out what went
+wrong with the service.
+
+Shepherd will not tell where the XMPP configuration file can be found. You have
+to manually go searching for the config file. Then you have to manually check
+the configuration syntax of the file, though the command to start the service
+may have a flag to check the syntax. Anyway it's annoying. Guix services should
+be able to get a ~<service-configuration>~ record and just by looking at the
+record tell, if you have done something silly that will make the service refuse
+to start or behave in a weird way, and provide you appropriate error messages so
+you don't have to go syntax hunting.
+
+Examples:
+
+- could be a filter that is defined but never used, which won't
+be possible once [[id:89603b3f-7580-4531-8aee-2c115c97adfe][remove opensmtpd-configuration-filters]] is done.

+  There is no fieldname =options= here.  This has to be sanitized by
+  ~<opensmtpd-filter-phase-configuration>~'s fieldname 'filters'.

+M-x geiser
+M-x geiser-load-file RET opensmtpd-records.scm
+,m (opensmtpd-records)
+
+May be causing Emacs to move slowly after a while.

+
+It may be better to instead do:
+
+cd prog/gnu/guix-config/linode-system-configuration;

+And then in Emacs (as described here: https://www.nongnu.org/geiser/geiser_3.html)
+connect to the external repl via

Openmstpd-configuration may only be configured by a config-file.  This
patch, enables one to configure opensmtpd by using some guile record
types (defined via define-record-type*).

+
+@item Format Specifiers
+
+Some configuration records support expansion of their parameters at
+runtime. Such records (for example
+@code{<opensmtpd-maildir-configuration>}, @code{<opensmtpd-mda-configuration>}) may use
+format specifiers which are expanded before delivery or relaying. The
+following formats are currently supported:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{sender@}}
+@tab sender email address, may be empty string
+@item @samp{%@{sender.user@}}
+@tab user part of the sender email address, may be empty
+@item @samp{%@{sender.domain@}}
+@tab domain part of the sender email address, may be empty
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt@}}
+@tab recipient email address
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.user@}}
+@tab user part of the recipient email address
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain@}}
+@tab domain part of the recipient email address
+@item @samp{%@{dest@}}
+@tab recipient email address after expansion
+@item @samp{%@{dest.user@}}
+@tab user part after expansion
+@item @samp{%@{dest.domain@}}
+@tab domain part after expansion
+@item @samp{%@{user.username@}}
+@tab local user
+@item @samp{%@{user.directory@}}
+@tab home directory of the local user
+@item @samp{%@{mbox.from@}}
+@tab name used in mbox From separator lines
+@item @samp{%@{mda@}}
+@tab mda command, only available for mda wrappers
+@end multitable
+
+Expansion formats also support partial expansion using the optional bracket notations
+with substring offset.  For example, with recipient domain @samp{“example.org”}:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[0]@}}
+@tab expands to “e”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[1]@}}
+@tab expands to “x”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[8:]@}}
+@tab expands to “org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[-3:]@}}
+@tab expands to “org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[0:6]@}}
+@tab expands to “example”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[0:-4]@}}
+@tab expands to “example”
+@end multitable
+
+In addition, modifiers may be applied to the token.  For example, with recipient
+@samp{“User+Tag@@Example.org”}:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:lowercase@}}
+@tab expands to “user+tag@@example.org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:uppercase@}}
+@tab expands to “USER+TAG@@EXAMPLE.ORG”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:strip@}}
+@tab expands to “User@@Example.org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:lowercasestrip@}}
+@tab expands to “user@@example.org”
+@end multitable
+
+For security concerns, expanded values are sanitized and potentially dangerous
+characters are replaced with ‘:’. In situations where they are desirable, the
+“raw” modifier may be applied. For example, with recipient
+@samp{“user+t?g@@example.org”}:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt@}}
+@tab expands to “user+t:g@@example.org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:raw@}}
+@tab expands to “user+t?g@@example.org”
+@end multitable

Here is a video link that may help the first reviewer:

https://video.hardlimit.com/w/ixE7Tc1pCqpP3BgriRbYA5 (https://video.hardlimit.com/w/ixE7Tc1pCqpP3BgriRbYA5)
The video walks you through how to play with an example configuration in emacs-geiser.

Thanks,

Joshua

Same here.  Btw. I did not actually check all the doc in between, so I

You get the drill.

I'm pretty sure it'd be fine to use not in lieu of false?, even at the

Don't we have field sanitizers already that make this obsolete?

Using a table, map and string-join might be wiser.  If this is the only
place add-comma-or is used, you can replace it by 
(string-append 
  (string-join (butlast strings) ",")
  ", or " (last strings))
where you only need to define butlast.

Sounds ok.  I may need to double check that there are no places

Fair I suppose.  I'll see if I can shorten it.

"listen-on" refers to the "listen on" in smtpd.conf:
https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd.conf

lan_addr = "192.168.0.1"
listen on $lan_addr
listen on $lan_addr tls auth

I would prefer to have two data types for "listen on" and
"listen on socket".  "listen on socket" only supports 3 options, where
"listen on" supports 19.  

https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd.conf

;;valid record
(openstmpd-listen-on-configuration
  (tag "port-48")
  (port 48))

;;invalid record and will result in an error as it should.

From the documentation:

listen on interface [family] [options]
    Listen on the interface for incoming connections, using the same syntax as ifconfig(8). The interface parameter may also be an interface group, an IP address, or a domain name. Listening can optionally be restricted to a specific address family, which can be either inet4 or inet6. 

listen on socket [options]
    Listen for incoming SMTP connections on the Unix domain socket /var/run/smtpd.sock. This is done by default, even if the directive is absent.

To summarize the tasks that you have given me are:

1) Write a proper changelog.
2) define "string-in-list?" with member? 
   Are there other procedures that could use this?
3) replace [] with ()
4) Shorten the sanitize procedure for opensmtpd-option-configuration

Thanks for reviewing!

Okay, but what would you call that?  An address maybe?

I am not questioning whether it makes sense to add a configuration
record – it probably does – but whether you're using the best name for
that record.  We are not Java programmers here, a little abstraction
goes a long way.

So you can either have an opensmtp-interface (with family and a bunch
of options) or an opensmtp-socket (with a bunch of options).  Sounds
like a much nicer ontology, doesn't it?

I also don't think it makes too much sense to add -configuration for
anything but the top-level configuration record, it just requires you
to type much more configuration than you probably want.

Cheers

That does make much more sense!  I'll do that.

To summarize the updated tasks that you have given me are:
 
 1) Write a proper changelog.
 2) define "string-in-list?" with member?
 Are there other procedures that could use this?
 3) DONE replace [] with ()
 4) Shorten the sanitize procedure for opensmtpd-option-configuration
 5) Review your class names.

I also don't think it makes too much sense to add -configuration for
anything but the top-level configuration record, it just requires you
to type much more configuration than you probably want.

Also does guix have a style guide for writing services?  Do we usually
only put "-configuration" for the top level configuration?  Is
that the current style recommendations?
 
eg: rename opensmtpd-listen-on-configuration and
opensmtpd-listen-on-socket-configuration to opensmtpd-interface
 and opensmtpd-socket.

Style guide #0 is "look at what already exists".  For example, the
jami-service also defines jami-account via define-configuration.  Hope
that helps.

I suppose that I was following the nginx style.  It seems like most of
their records end in "-configuration".  Thanks again for reviewing this.
I should have an updated patch soon.

The main thing that I am focusing on now is how to make it easy for

search for "enable to do dkimsigning or bogofilter" is the file and

That's a link to a video update of why

It is primarily meant for nckx on irc.  But anyone else is free to

[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain; charset=y, Size: 158662 bytes --]

This is a V2 patch.  I've added some tests that help test for various
ways that users could accidentally misconfigure their configuration.

I probably need to make those error messages, use   
(guix diagnostics).  Currently compiling the tests, auto runs them.
So "make" auto runs the tests.  Also their error messages are output
to the terminal, and I'm not sure how to turn that off.

tl;dr this is a WIP patch, and I just wanted to submit something,
because I keep finding more things that I need to fix.

The task list as always is here:
https://notabug.org/jbranso/linode-guix-system-configuration/src/master/opensmtpd.org  

Openmstpd-configuration may only be configured by a config-file that
uses the smtpd.conf syntax.  This patch, enables one to configure
opensmtpd by using record types.

+
+@item @code{domain} (default: @code{#f})
+
+Do not perform MX lookups but look up destination domain in an
+@code{<opensmtpd-table>} and use matching relay url as relay host.
+
+@item @code{host} (default: @code{#f})
+
+Do not perform MX lookups but relay messages to the relay host described by
+the string relay-url. The format for relay-url is
+@samp{[proto://[label@@]]host[:port]}. The following protocols are available:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item smtp
+@tab Normal SMTP session with opportunistic STARTTLS (the default).
+@item smtp+tls
+@tab Normal SMTP session with mandatory STARTTLS@.
+@item smtp+notls
+@tab Plain text SMTP session without TLS@.
+@item lmtp
+@tab LMTP session.  port is required.
+@item smtps
+@tab SMTP session with forced TLS on connection, default port is
+@item
+@tab 465.
+@end multitable
+
+Unless noted, port defaults to 25.
+
+The label corresponds to an entry in a credentials table, as documented in
+@samp{table(5)}. It is used with the @samp{"smtp+tls"} and @samp{"smtps"} protocols for
+authentication. Server certificates for those protocols are verified by
+default.
+
+@item @code{pki} (default: @code{#f})
+
+For secure connections, use the certificate associated with
+@code{<opensmtpd-pki>} (declared in a pki directive) to prove the
+client's identity to the remote mail server.
+
+@item @code{srs} (default: @code{#f})
+
+If @code{#t}, then when relaying a mail resulting from a forward, use the Sender
+Rewriting Scheme to rewrite sender address.
+
+@item @code{tls} (default: @code{#f}) boolean or string ``no-verify''
+
+When @code{#t}, Require TLS to be used when relaying, using mandatory STARTTLS by
+default. When used with a smarthost, the protocol must not be
+@samp{"smtp+notls://"}. When string @code{"no-verify"}, then do not require a valid
+certificate.
+
+@item @code{auth} (default: @code{#f}) @code{<opensmtpd-table>}
+
+Use the alist @code{<opensmtpd-table>} for connecting to relay-url
+using credentials. This option is usable only with fieldname @code{host} option.
+
+@item @code{mail-from} (default: @code{#f}) string
+
+Use the string mailaddress as MAIL FROM address within the SMTP transaction.
+
+@item @code{src} (default: @code{#f}) string | @code{<opensmtpd-table>}
+
+Use the string or @code{<opensmtpd-table>} sourceaddr for the
+source IP address, which is useful on machines with multiple interfaces. If
+the list contains more than one address, all of them are used in such a way
+that traffic is routed as efficiently as possible.
+@end itemize
+
+@item Data Type: opensmtpd-filter
+
+This data type represents the configuration of an
+@code{<opensmtpd-filter>}. This is the filter record one should use
+if they want to use an external package to filter email eg: rspamd or
+spamassassin.
+
+@itemize
+@item @code{name} (default: @code{#f})
+
+The string name of the filter.
+
+@item @code{proc} (default: @code{#f})
+
+The string command or process name.  If @code{proc-exec} is @code{#t}, @code{proc} is
+treated as a command to execute.  Otherwise, it is a process name.
+
+@item @code{proc-exec} (default: @code{#f})
+@end itemize
+
+@item Data Type: opensmtpd-filter-phase
+
+This data type represents the configuration of an
+@code{<opensmtpd-filter-phase>}.
+
+In a regular workflow, smtpd(8) may accept or reject a message based only on
+the content of envelopes. Its decisions are about the handling of the message,
+not about the handling of an active session.
+
+Filtering extends the decision making process by allowing smtpd(8) to stop at
+each phase of an SMTP session, check that options are met, then decide if a
+session is allowed to move forward.
+
+With filtering via an @code{<opensmtpd-filter-phase>} record, a
+session may be interrupted at any phase before an envelope is complete. A
+message may also be rejected after being submitted, regardless of whether the
+envelope was accepted or not.
+
+@itemize
+@item @code{name} (default: @code{#f})
+
+The string name of the filter phase.
+
+@item @code{phase-name} (default: @code{#f})
+
+The string name of the phase. Valid values are:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item ``connect''
+@tab upon connection, before a banner is displayed
+@item ``helo''
+@tab after HELO command is submitted
+@item ``ehlo''
+@tab after EHLO command is submitted
+@item ``mail-from''
+@tab after MAIL FROM command is submitted
+@item ``rcpt-to''
+@tab after RCPT TO command is submitted
+@item ``data''
+@tab after DATA command is submitted
+@item ``commit''
+@tab after message is fully is submitted
+@end multitable
+
+@item @code{options} (default @code{#f})
+
+A list of unique @code{<opensmtpd-option>} records.
+
+At each phase, various options, specified by a list of
+@code{<opensmtpd-option>}, may be checked. The
+@code{<opensmtpd-option>}'s fieldname 'option' values of: ``fcrdns'',
+``rdns'', and ``src'' data are available in all phases, but other data must have
+been already submitted before they are available. Options with a @samp{<table>}
+next to them require the @code{<opensmtpd-option>}'s fieldname
+@code{data} to be an @code{<opensmtpd-table>}. There are the available
+options:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item fcrdns
+@tab forward-confirmed reverse DNS is valid
+@item rdns
+@tab session has a reverse DNS
+@item rdns <table>

+
+These conditions may all be negated by setting
+@code{<opensmtpd-option>}'s fieldname @code{not} to @code{#t}.
+
+Any conditions that require a table may indicate that tables include regexs
+setting @code{<opensmtpd-option>}'s fieldname @code{regex} to @code{#t}.
+
+@item @code{decision}
+
+A string decision to be taken. Some decisions require an @code{message} or
+@code{value}. Valid strings are:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item ``bypass''
+@tab the session or transaction bypasses filters
+@item ``disconnect'' message
+@tab the session is disconnected with message
+@item ``junk''
+@tab the session or transaction is junked, i.e., an
+@item
+@tab ‘X-Spam: yes’ header is added to any messages
+@item ``reject'' message
+@tab the command is rejected with message
+@item ``rewrite'' value
+@tab the command parameter is rewritten with value
+@end multitable
+
+Decisions that involve a message require that the message be RFC valid,
+meaning that they should either start with a 4xx or 5xx status code.
+Descisions can be taken at any phase, though junking can only happen before
+a message is committed.
+
+@item @code{message} (default @code{#f})
+
+A string message beginning with a 4xx or 5xx status code.

+to match various options for email.
+
+@itemize
+@item @code{conditition} (default @code{#f})
+
+A string option to be taken. Some options require a string or an

+
+@code{name} is the name of the @code{<opensmtpd-table>} record.
+
+@item @code{data} (default: @code{#f})

+@item @code{dhe} (default: @code{"none"})
+
+Specify the DHE string parameter to use for DHE cipher suites with host
+pkiname. Valid parameter values are ``none'', ``legacy'', or ``auto''. For ``legacy'', a
+fixed key length of 1024 bits is used, whereas for ``auto'', the key length is
+determined automatically. The default is ``none'', which disables DHE cipher
+suites.
+@end itemize
+
+@item Data Type: opensmtpd-maildir
+
+@itemize
+@item @code{pathname} (default: @code{"~/Maildir"})
+
+Deliver the message to the maildir if pathname if specified, or by default
+to @samp{~/Maildir}.
+
+The pathname may contain format specifiers that are expanded before use
+(see FORMAT SPECIFIERS).
+
+@item @code{junk} (default: @code{#f})
+
+If the junk argument is @code{#t}, then the message will be moved to the @samp{‘Junk’}

+
+@item Format Specifiers
+
+Some configuration records support expansion of their parameters at
+runtime. Such records (for example
+@code{<opensmtpd-maildir>}, @code{<opensmtpd-mda>}) may use
+format specifiers which are expanded before delivery or relaying. The
+following formats are currently supported:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{sender@}}
+@tab sender email address, may be empty string
+@item @samp{%@{sender.user@}}
+@tab user part of the sender email address, may be empty
+@item @samp{%@{sender.domain@}}
+@tab domain part of the sender email address, may be empty
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt@}}
+@tab recipient email address
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.user@}}
+@tab user part of the recipient email address
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain@}}
+@tab domain part of the recipient email address
+@item @samp{%@{dest@}}
+@tab recipient email address after expansion
+@item @samp{%@{dest.user@}}
+@tab user part after expansion
+@item @samp{%@{dest.domain@}}
+@tab domain part after expansion
+@item @samp{%@{user.username@}}
+@tab local user
+@item @samp{%@{user.directory@}}
+@tab home directory of the local user
+@item @samp{%@{mbox.from@}}
+@tab name used in mbox From separator lines
+@item @samp{%@{mda@}}
+@tab mda command, only available for mda wrappers
+@end multitable
+
+Expansion formats also support partial expansion using the optional bracket notations
+with substring offset.  For example, with recipient domain @samp{“example.org”}:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[0]@}}
+@tab expands to “e”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[1]@}}
+@tab expands to “x”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[8:]@}}
+@tab expands to “org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[-3:]@}}
+@tab expands to “org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[0:6]@}}
+@tab expands to “example”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[0:-4]@}}
+@tab expands to “example”
+@end multitable
+
+In addition, modifiers may be applied to the token.  For example, with recipient
+@samp{“User+Tag@@Example.org”}:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:lowercase@}}
+@tab expands to “user+tag@@example.org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:uppercase@}}
+@tab expands to “USER+TAG@@EXAMPLE.ORG”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:strip@}}
+@tab expands to “User@@Example.org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:lowercasestrip@}}
+@tab expands to “user@@example.org”
+@end multitable
+
+For security concerns, expanded values are sanitized and potentially dangerous
+characters are replaced with ‘:’. In situations where they are desirable, the
+“raw” modifier may be applied. For example, with recipient
+@samp{“user+t?g@@example.org”}:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt@}}
+@tab expands to “user+t:g@@example.org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:raw@}}
+@tab expands to “user+t?g@@example.org”
+@end multitable

That's a rather crude way of sanitizing.  You should probably raise a
formatted-message or similar.  I'd also curry this as follows:

(define (((expect-any predicates) record field) var)
  (if (any (cute <> var) predicates)
      var
      (do-the-exception-raising)))

where do-the-exception-raising contains all the formatting stuff etc.
that I skipped for the sake of simplicity.

Then you can define (expect-string-or-#f) and whatever else you need
quite simply.

Thanks for the speedy response and quick review!

I also forgot to mention that the service is actually fairly use-able now!

<opensmtpd-filter> takes in a list of strings and gexps.  With a little
work you can use s-expressions to configure dkimsigning.

And it should be possible to integrate bogofilter, but I have not figured
that out yet.....


Thanks,

Joshua

This is V3 of my opensmtp records configuration. Hopefully soon, I will have
this WIP service is guixrus, so more people can easily play with it.

https://git.sr.ht/~whereiseveryone/guixrus

BUT the new milestone is this, I am now actually able to use opensmtpd on my
gnucode.me account! So that is pretty awesome!

Here is a link to my server config:

https://notabug.org/jbranso/linode-guix-system-configuration/src/master/linode-locke-lamora-current-config.scm

The best place to find documentation for this service is here:

https://notabug.org/jbranso/linode-guix-system-configuration/src/master/opensmtpd-records-documentation.txt


Openmstpd-configuration may only be configured by a config-file that
uses the smtpd.conf syntax.  This patch, enables one to configure
opensmtpd by using record types.

+Data type representing the configuration of an

+@code{interface} for incoming connections, using the same syntax as
+@code{ifconfig}. The interface parameter may also be an string interface

+optionally be restricted to a specific address via the fieldname
+@code{family}, which can be either @code{"inet4"} or @code{"inet6"}.
+
+@itemize
+@item @code{interface} (default: @code{"lo"})
+
+The string interface to listen for incoming connections.  This string
+may be an interface group, an IP address, or a domain name. These
+interfaces can usually be found by the command @code{ip link}.
+
+@item @code{family} (default: @code{#f})
+
+Only listen on a specific address family.  Valid strings are
+@code{"inet4"} or @code{"inet6"}, which will only listen on IPv4 or IPv6
+respectfully.  If @code{(family #f)}, then opensmtpd will listen on both
+IPv4 and IPv6.
+
+@item @code{auth} (default: @code{#f})
+Support SMTPAUTH: clients may only start SMTP transactions after
+successful authentication. If @code{auth} is @code{#t}, then users are
+authenticated against their own normal login credentials. Alternatively
+@code{auth} may be a @code{mapping table} that maps usernames to
+encrypted passwords.  The password can be encrypted via the
+@code{smtpctl} @code{encrypt} subcommand.
+
+@item @code{auth-optional} (default: @code{#f})
+Support SMTPAUTH optionally: clients need not authenticate, but may do
+so.  This allows the @code{<opensmtpd-interface>} to both accept
+incoming mail from untrusted senders and permit outgoing mail from
+authenticated users. It can be used in situations where it is not
+possible to listen on a separate port (usually the submission port, 587)
+for users to authenticate.  This option also accepts a @code{mapping
+table} that maps usernames to encrypted passwords.
+
+@item @code{filters} (default: @code{#f})
+A list of one or many @code{<opensmtpd-filter>} or
+@code{<opensmtpd-filter-phase>} records. The filters are applied

+listener.
+
+@item @code{hostname} (default: @code{#f})
+Change the default server name in the greeting banner instead of the
+default one.
+
+@item @code{hostnames} (default: @code{#f})
+Override the server name for specific addresses. Use a @code{mapping
+table} that maps string IP addresses to string hostnames. If the address
+on which the connection arrives appears in the mapping, the associated
+hostname is used.
+
+@item @code{mask-src} (default: @code{#f})
+If @code{#t}, then omit the from part when prepending “Received” headers.
+
+@item @code{disable-dsn} (default: @code{#f})
+When @code{#t}, then disable the DSN (Delivery Status Notification) extension.
+
+@item @code{pki} (default: @code{#f})
+For secure connections, use an @code{<opensmtpd-pki>} record to prove a
+mail server's identity.
+
+@item @code{port} (default: @code{25})
+Listen on the integer port instead of the default port of 25.
+
+@item @code{proxy-v2} (default: @code{#f})
+If @code{#t}, then support the PROXYv2 protocol, rewriting appropriately source
+address received from proxy.
+
+@item @code{received-auth} (default: @code{#f})
+If @code{#t}, then in “Received” headers, report whether the session was
+authenticated and by which local user.
+
+@item @code{senders} (default: @code{#f})
+Look up the authenticated user in the supplied @code{mapping table} to
+find the email addresses that user is allowed to submit mail as.
+
+@item @code{masquerade} (default: @code{#f})
+@code{masquerade}, is used in conjunction with @code{senders}.  If

+@item @code{"smtps"}
+@tab Support SMTPS, by default on port 465.
+@item @code{"tls"}

+@tab Like @code{"tls"}, but force clients to
+@item
+@tab establish a secure connection before being

+Store queue files in a compressed format. This may be useful to save disk
+space.
+
+@item @code{encryption} (default @code{#f})
+Encrypt queue files with EVP@math{_aes}@math{_256}@math{_gcm}(3). If no key is specified, it is
+read with getpass(3). If the string stdin or a single dash (‘-’) is given
+instead of a key, the key is read from the standard input.
+
+@item @code{ttl-delay} (default @code{#f})
+Set the default expiration time for temporarily undeliverable messages,
+given as a positive decimal integer followed by a unit s, m, h, or d. The
+default is four days (@code{"4d"}).
+@end itemize
+
+@item Data Type: opensmtpd-smtp
+Data type representing an @code{<opensmtpd-smtp>} record.
+
+@itemize
+@item @code{ciphers} (default: @code{#f})
+Set the control string for SSL@math{_CTX}@math{_set}@math{_cipher}@math{_list}(3).  The default is
+         ``HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5''.
+
+@item @code{limit-max-mails} (default: @code{100})
+Limit the number of messages to count for each sessio
+
+@item @code{limit-max-rcpt} (default: @code{1000})
+Limit the number of recipients to count for each transaction.
+
+@item @code{max-message-size} (default: @code{35M})
+Reject messages larger than size, given as a positive number of bytes or as
+a string to be parsed with scan@math{_scaled}(3).
+
+@item @code{sub-addr-delim character} (default: @code{+})
+When resolving the local part of a local email address, ignore the ASCII
+character and all characters following it. This is helpful for email
+filters. @samp{"admin+bills@@gnu.org"} is the same email address as
+@samp{"admin@@gnu.org"}. BUT an email filter can filter emails addressed to first
+email address into a 'Bills' email folder.
+@end itemize
+
+@item Data Type: opensmtpd-srs
+Use this record to set up the Sender Rewriting Scheme (SRS).
+
+@itemize
+@item @code{key} (default: @code{#f})
+Set the secret key to use for SRS, the Sender Rewriting Scheme.
+
+@item @code{backup-key} (default: @code{#f})
+Set a backup secret key to use as a fallback for SRS@. This can be used to
+implement SRS key rotation.
+
+@item @code{ttl-delay} (default: @code{"4d"})
+Set the time-to-live delay for SRS envelopes. After this delay, a bounce
+reply to the SRS address will be discarded to limit risks of forged
+addresses.
+@end itemize
+
+@item Format Specifiers
+Some configuration records support expansion of their parameters at
+runtime. Such records (for example
+@code{<opensmtpd-maildir>}, @code{<opensmtpd-mda>}) may use
+format specifiers which are expanded before delivery or relaying. The
+following formats are currently supported:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{sender@}}
+@tab sender email address, may be empty string
+@item @samp{%@{sender.user@}}
+@tab user part of the sender email address, may be empty
+@item @samp{%@{sender.domain@}}
+@tab domain part of the sender email address, may be empty
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt@}}
+@tab recipient email address
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.user@}}
+@tab user part of the recipient email address
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain@}}
+@tab domain part of the recipient email address
+@item @samp{%@{dest@}}
+@tab recipient email address after expansion
+@item @samp{%@{dest.user@}}
+@tab user part after expansion
+@item @samp{%@{dest.domain@}}
+@tab domain part after expansion
+@item @samp{%@{user.username@}}
+@tab local user
+@item @samp{%@{user.directory@}}
+@tab home directory of the local user
+@item @samp{%@{mbox.from@}}
+@tab name used in mbox From separator lines
+@item @samp{%@{mda@}}
+@tab mda command, only available for mda wrappers
+@end multitable
+
+Expansion formats also support partial expansion using the optional bracket notations
+with substring offset.  For example, with recipient domain @samp{“example.org”}:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[0]@}}
+@tab expands to “e”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[1]@}}
+@tab expands to “x”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[8:]@}}
+@tab expands to “org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[-3:]@}}
+@tab expands to “org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[0:6]@}}
+@tab expands to “example”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[0:-4]@}}
+@tab expands to “example”
+@end multitable
+
+In addition, modifiers may be applied to the token.  For example, with recipient
+@samp{“User+Tag@@Example.org”}:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:lowercase@}}
+@tab expands to “user+tag@@example.org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:uppercase@}}
+@tab expands to “USER+TAG@@EXAMPLE.ORG”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:strip@}}
+@tab expands to “User@@Example.org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:lowercasestrip@}}
+@tab expands to “user@@example.org”
+@end multitable
+
+For security concerns, expanded values are sanitized and potentially dangerous
+characters are replaced with ‘:’. In situations where they are desirable, the
+“raw” modifier may be applied. For example, with recipient
+@samp{“user+t?g@@example.org”}:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt@}}
+@tab expands to “user+t:g@@example.org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:raw@}}
+@tab expands to “user+t?g@@example.org”
+@end multitable
+@end itemize

Whoops the last sent patch had some charset=y errors.  Hopefully this is better.

This is V3 of my opensmtp records configuration. Hopefully soon, I will have
this WIP service is guixrus, so more people can easily play with it.

https://git.sr.ht/~whereiseveryone/guixrus

BUT the new milestone is this, I am now actually able to use opensmtpd on my
gnucode.me account! So that is pretty awesome!

Here is a link to my server config:

https://notabug.org/jbranso/linode-guix-system-configuration/src/master/linode-locke-lamora-current-config.scm

The best place to find documentation for this service is here:

Openmstpd-configuration may only be configured by a config-file that
uses the smtpd.conf syntax.  This patch, enables one to configure
opensmtpd by using record types.

+@item Data Type: opensmtpd-interface
+Data type representing the configuration of an
+@code{<opensmtpd-interface>}. It listens on the fieldname
+@code{interface} for incoming connections, using the same syntax as
+@code{ifconfig}. The interface parameter may also be an string interface
+group, an string IP address, or a string domain name. Listening can
+optionally be restricted to a specific address via the fieldname
+@code{family}, which can be either @code{"inet4"} or @code{"inet6"}.
+
+@itemize
+@item @code{interface} (default: @code{"lo"})
+
+The string interface to listen for incoming connections.  This string
+may be an interface group, an IP address, or a domain name. These
+interfaces can usually be found by the command @code{ip link}.
+
+@item @code{family} (default: @code{#f})
+
+Only listen on a specific address family.  Valid strings are
+@code{"inet4"} or @code{"inet6"}, which will only listen on IPv4 or IPv6
+respectfully.  If @code{(family #f)}, then opensmtpd will listen on both
+IPv4 and IPv6.
+
+@item @code{auth} (default: @code{#f})
+Support SMTPAUTH: clients may only start SMTP transactions after
+successful authentication. If @code{auth} is @code{#t}, then users are
+authenticated against their own normal login credentials. Alternatively
+@code{auth} may be a @code{mapping table} that maps usernames to
+encrypted passwords.  The password can be encrypted via the
+@code{smtpctl} @code{encrypt} subcommand.
+
+@item @code{auth-optional} (default: @code{#f})
+Support SMTPAUTH optionally: clients need not authenticate, but may do
+so.  This allows the @code{<opensmtpd-interface>} to both accept
+incoming mail from untrusted senders and permit outgoing mail from
+authenticated users. It can be used in situations where it is not
+possible to listen on a separate port (usually the submission port, 587)
+for users to authenticate.  This option also accepts a @code{mapping
+table} that maps usernames to encrypted passwords.
+
+@item @code{filters} (default: @code{#f})
+A list of one or many @code{<opensmtpd-filter>} or
+@code{<opensmtpd-filter-phase>} records. The filters are applied
+sequentially. These records listen and filter on connections handled by this
+listener.
+
+@item @code{hostname} (default: @code{#f})
+Change the default server name in the greeting banner instead of the
+default one.
+
+@item @code{hostnames} (default: @code{#f})
+Override the server name for specific addresses. Use a @code{mapping
+table} that maps string IP addresses to string hostnames. If the address
+on which the connection arrives appears in the mapping, the associated
+hostname is used.
+
+@item @code{mask-src} (default: @code{#f})
+If @code{#t}, then omit the from part when prepending “Received” headers.
+
+@item @code{disable-dsn} (default: @code{#f})
+When @code{#t}, then disable the DSN (Delivery Status Notification) extension.
+
+@item @code{pki} (default: @code{#f})
+For secure connections, use an @code{<opensmtpd-pki>} record to prove a
+mail server's identity.
+
+@item @code{port} (default: @code{25})
+Listen on the integer port instead of the default port of 25.
+
+@item @code{proxy-v2} (default: @code{#f})
+If @code{#t}, then support the PROXYv2 protocol, rewriting appropriately source
+address received from proxy.
+
+@item @code{received-auth} (default: @code{#f})
+If @code{#t}, then in “Received” headers, report whether the session was
+authenticated and by which local user.
+
+@item @code{senders} (default: @code{#f})
+Look up the authenticated user in the supplied @code{mapping table} to
+find the email addresses that user is allowed to submit mail as.
+
+@item @code{masquerade} (default: @code{#f})
+@code{masquerade}, is used in conjunction with @code{senders}.  If

+provided in the SMTP session.  If @code{senders} is @code{#false}, then

+that traffic is routed as efficiently as possible.
+@end itemize
+
+@item Data Type: opensmtpd-filter
+This data type represents the configuration of an
+@code{<opensmtpd-filter>}. This is the filter record one should use
+if they want to use an external package to filter email eg: rspamd or

+
+In a regular workflow, @code{smtpd(8)} may accept or reject a message
+based only on the content of envelopes. Its decisions are about the

+
+Filtering extends the decision making process by allowing
+@code{smtpd(8)} to stop at each phase of an SMTP session, check that
+options are met, then decide if a session is allowed to move forward.
+
+With filtering via an @code{<opensmtpd-filter-phase>} record, a
+session may be interrupted at any phase before an envelope is complete. A
+message may also be rejected after being submitted, regardless of whether the
+envelope was accepted or not.
+
+@itemize
+@item @code{name} (default: @code{#f})
+
+The string name of the filter phase.
+
+@item @code{phase-name} (default: @code{#f})
+The string name of the phase. Valid values are:

+@code{<opensmtpd-option>}'s fieldname @code{option} values of:
+@code{"fcrdns"}, @code{"rdns"}, and @code{"src"} data are available in
+all phases, but other data must have been already submitted before they
+are available. Options with a @code{<table>} next to them require the
+@code{<opensmtpd-option>}'s fieldname @code{data} to be an
+@code{<opensmtpd-table>}. There are the available options:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @code{"fcrdns"}
+@tab forward-confirmed reverse DNS is valid
+@item @code{"rdns"}

+
+Any conditions that require a table may indicate that tables include regexs
+setting @code{(opensmtpd-option (regex #t))}.
+
+@item @code{decision}
+A string decision to be taken. Some decisions require an @code{message}
+or @code{value}.  The value and message may be put in the

+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @code{"bypass"}

+@item @code{"reject"} message
+@tab the command is rejected with message
+@item @code{"rewrite"} value
+@tab the command parameter is rewritten with value
+@end multitable
+

+@item Format Specifiers
+Some configuration records support expansion of their parameters at
+runtime. Such records (for example
+@code{<opensmtpd-maildir>}, @code{<opensmtpd-mda>}) may use
+format specifiers which are expanded before delivery or relaying. The
+following formats are currently supported:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{sender@}}
+@tab sender email address, may be empty string
+@item @samp{%@{sender.user@}}
+@tab user part of the sender email address, may be empty
+@item @samp{%@{sender.domain@}}
+@tab domain part of the sender email address, may be empty
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt@}}
+@tab recipient email address
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.user@}}
+@tab user part of the recipient email address
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain@}}
+@tab domain part of the recipient email address
+@item @samp{%@{dest@}}
+@tab recipient email address after expansion
+@item @samp{%@{dest.user@}}
+@tab user part after expansion
+@item @samp{%@{dest.domain@}}
+@tab domain part after expansion
+@item @samp{%@{user.username@}}
+@tab local user
+@item @samp{%@{user.directory@}}
+@tab home directory of the local user
+@item @samp{%@{mbox.from@}}
+@tab name used in mbox From separator lines
+@item @samp{%@{mda@}}
+@tab mda command, only available for mda wrappers
+@end multitable
+
+Expansion formats also support partial expansion using the optional bracket notations
+with substring offset.  For example, with recipient domain @samp{“example.org”}:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[0]@}}
+@tab expands to “e”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[1]@}}
+@tab expands to “x”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[8:]@}}
+@tab expands to “org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[-3:]@}}
+@tab expands to “org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[0:6]@}}
+@tab expands to “example”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt.domain[0:-4]@}}
+@tab expands to “example”
+@end multitable
+
+In addition, modifiers may be applied to the token.  For example, with recipient
+@samp{“User+Tag@@Example.org”}:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:lowercase@}}
+@tab expands to “user+tag@@example.org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:uppercase@}}
+@tab expands to “USER+TAG@@EXAMPLE.ORG”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:strip@}}
+@tab expands to “User@@Example.org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:lowercasestrip@}}
+@tab expands to “user@@example.org”
+@end multitable
+
+For security concerns, expanded values are sanitized and potentially dangerous
+characters are replaced with ‘:’. In situations where they are desirable, the
+“raw” modifier may be applied. For example, with recipient
+@samp{“user+t?g@@example.org”}:
+
+@multitable {aaaaaaaaaaaaa} {aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa}
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt@}}
+@tab expands to “user+t:g@@example.org”
+@item @samp{%@{rcpt:raw@}}
+@tab expands to “user+t?g@@example.org”
+@end multitable

This procedure needs a proper name, like sanitize/check-type, but more
importantly, why not simply use define-configuration?

Thanks again for your speedy review! I am sending this from my gnucode.me email
address you'll notice. And it is using these new records. :)

Users can still use

(service opensmtpd-service-type
         (opensmtpd-configuration
           (config-file (local-file "./my-smtpd.conf"))))

config-file is still a fieldname of <opensmtpd-configuration>.  Is that what you mean?

Also the generated documentation is available here:

If you are referring to <opensmtpd-option> is it documented like this:

• Data Type: opensmtpd-option This data type represents the
  configuration of an ‘<opensmtpd-option>’, which is used by
  ‘<opensmtpd-filter-phase>’ and ‘<opensmtpd-match>’ to match various
  options for email.

(sorry about the above formatting). That is currently how the documentation is
generated. I need to go through the documentation is fix that. I did
<opensmtpd-configuration> correctly.

Are you giving me a triple A+ ? :) Org generated the the like that. I think you
mentioned that I should use fractions last time. Sorry I did not do that. If I
wait 'til I implement every one of your suggestions, I will probably never

I'm not sure what you mean here? I know I had a comment in my task list that
said something like my sanitizer function are probably better than those found
in guix. Apologies for that.

The file-exists? function causes my-sanitize function to break. I think. If you
get rid of it, then what happens when a user types in (file 4), you get an
raise-exception. I can probably just rework my-sanitizer function to deal with
that possibility, but I have not yet. I would love some guidance on how to do
that. Because I feel like having to handle that exception is hard.

You mentioned that in the last review, I just can't figure out how to use your
suggestion. This is the code that I have in the task list WIP:

*** TODO simplify my sanitizing funcions  (any (cut <> var))

#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
(use-modules (ice-9 curried-definitions)
             (srfi srfi-26))

(define (((expect-any predicates) record field) var)
  (if (any (cut <> var) predicates)
      var
      (begin
        ;; code code code
        ;; how do I tell the user which function failed?
        (display "error")
        (throw 'bad! var))))

;; here is how you use it.
  (name opensmtpd-table-name ;; string
        (default #f)
        (sanitize (lambda (var)
                    (((expect-any (list string? number?)) "hello" "that") var))))

#+END_SRC

Does that look close to what you want? I feel like it is way off, but I don't
know. Honestly when I say this suggestion I was completely blown away, I have
been using (any ) and (every) in a few places to get rid of some uses of
primitive eval.

Yes! I have slowly been realizing that I have been clumsily re-inventing
define-configuration. I hope to switch to define-configuration, because a lot of
this code would go away. But I need to explore how define-configuration works.
That would be quite a major change. :)

Do you have to convert your documentation from org?  Writing Texinfo
code manually is an option, as is generating it from define-
configuration IIRC.  There is also nothing wrong with manually touching
up generated docs, but I imagine doing so consistently might be a bit
more adventurous.

You can submit whatever, but don't expect me or any other committer to
upstream the patches while there are open points to address.

Symbols can be compared with eq?, case et al.

For what it's worth, it definitely wasn't I. [1]

From the Guile manual:

 -- Scheme Procedure: stat object [exception-on-error?]
 -- C Function: scm_stat (object, exception_on_error)
[...]
     If the optional EXCEPTION_ON_ERROR argument is true, which is the
     default, an exception will be raised if the underlying system call
     returns an error, for example if the file is not found or is not
     readable.  Otherwise, an error will cause ‘stat’ to return ‘#f’.

Now, in (ice-9 boot-9), file-exists? is defined (assuming posix) as

      (lambda (str)
        (->bool (stat str #f)))

Thus, I am pretty sure that no exception should be raised from the
check ;)

All of them failed, that's the point.  As for constructing a string
from a list of procedures, see list-of-procedures->string.

I don't see that, but I do see functions that have been dropped still
mentioned in the ChangeLog.  Another hint at this patch being too
convoluted for its own sake ;)

I wrote the first draft of the documentation in org.  Then converted it
to texinfo.  I have been writing in texinfo ever since.  :)

Of course.  :)  I wish I could implement all of your suggestions sooner, 
but I am still learning.  And I might be a bit of a slow coder.  :(

Oh, the last time I used guile's file-exist? It broke a one of 
my tests.  I intend to use guile's file-exist? I just have not
figured out how to yet.  :)

The way I am sanitizing it, something like this happens.  
A silly user puts this in their configuration:

(opensmtpd-configuration
   (config-file 4))


(file-exists? (openstmtpd-configuration-config-file record))

(file-exists? 4)  => raise-exception

How would I unconvoluted it?  Use define-configuration?

Hello guix,

I would very much like to have better support (more modular) for
opensmtpd. This patch series seems to go in the right direction. What
is its status?

Best regards,

Vivien

So, I recently just got my email server up and running again, which is
awesome!  What is its status?

It works!  You can configure fairly basic email configurations.  You
should try to run it on your server.  This blog post walks you through how:

https://gnucode.me/submitting-opensmtpd-service-to-guixrus.html

You might not be able to use guix deploy with this service at the
moment.  You might have to ssh into your server and do a "guix system
reconfigure".  I fixed that bug, but have not pushed it to guixrus yet.

Feel free to ask me any questions.

In terms of upstreaming this to guix proper.  It seems like I should
* convert all of the (define-record-type* ...) -> (define-configuration)
* make sure all of the tests still work:
https://notabug.org/jbranso/guix/src/newOpensmtpdBranch/gnu/tests/mail.scm
* try to generate Tobias' smtpd.conf
* host a guix system is awesome party


There's a ton more in the task here:
