    mailsrvr: bound sockmimetext line scan with strnlen (CID 639931)

    The inner while-loop walks (*np + len) up to RFC822_MAX_LINE_LEN bytes
    relying on the embedded NUL test to stop early. When np points at the
    "\r\n" literal used as the empty-body fallback (issue #822), Coverity
    loses track of the literal's length and reports a 997-byte OVERRUN.
    Compute the scan length up-front with strnlen so the bound is explicit; behavior is unchanged but the OVERRUN false-positive is silenced.

    Log Message:
    mailsrvr: POP3 reply -ERR (not !UNSUPPORTED) to USER/PASS in TRANSACTION state

    Some clients (e.g. Thunderbird) reuse an already-authenticated TCP socket
    and re-issue USER/PASS. Per RFC 1939 these are AUTHORIZATION-state-only commands, so respond with a plain -ERR and keep the session alive,
    matching Dovecot/Courier behavior and suppressing the misleading
    "!UNSUPPORTED COMMAND" log notice.

    Log Message:
    mail: only auto-detect an IPv4 DNS server address

    dns_getmx() takes the server as a DWORD, so an IPv6 address cannot reach
    it: resolve_ip() returns INADDR_NONE, the send is abandoned with the
    message left for a later attempt, and "INVALID DNS server address" is
    logged. get_dns_server() picked at random from every address getNameServerList() reported, so a host with resolvers of both families
    failed on some sends and not others -- and on Windows the list can now
    include IPv6 servers where it never could before.

    Filter to the addresses the look-up can use, and say so when a detected
    list holds none of them, rather than leaving the caller to report an empty address as invalid.

    The precision on the adjacent sprintf() was one greater than the room the buffer has for text.

    mailsrvr: log the offending command on invalid POP3 message numbers

    The POP3 LIST/UIDL, RETR/TOP, and DELE handlers logged only the parsed
    message number when rejecting an out-of-range argument. When the argument
    is missing or non-numeric, strtoul() yields 0, so the log always reads
    "INVALID message #0" with no indication of what the client actually sent
    -- exactly the case where the command text is needed to diagnose it.

    Log the command line and the mailbox message count, matching the detail
    already present in the successful-retrieval log message.

    Log Message:
    mailsrvr: don't mistake a quoted address local-part for a display name

    A QWKnet reply sent via SMTP failed to import at the destination BBS:

    QWK NetMail from VERT to EOTLBBS!nelgin
    !QWK NetMail from VERT to UNKNOWN USER: EOTLBBS!nelgin

    smtp_netmailaddr() renders a QWKnet sender as qwkid!user@host, so a
    reply is addressed to e.g. <EOTLBBS!nelgin@vert.synchro.net> -- and a
    mail client may quote the local part, which RFC 5322 allows:

    To: nelgin <"EOTLBBS!nelgin"@vert.synchro.net>

    parse_mail_address() took the first quote anywhere in the string as the
    start of a display name, so it returned "EOTLBBS!nelgin" as the name.
    The SMTP envelope had been parsed correctly (recipient "nelgin", routed
    to QWKnet node EOTLBBS), but the To: header re-parse overwrites the same buffer, and that name is what gets stored as the message recipient. The
    QWK packer writes it verbatim, and the receiving system finds no such
    user.

    Treat a quote as a display-name delimiter only where a display name can
    appear -- before the '<' of the address -- and, for a QWKnet recipient,
    take the name from the envelope rather than the To: header, as the
    FidoNet case already does. The header parse also feeds the sender name
    of unauthenticated mail, so an odd From: address was mangled the same
    way.

    The quoted/parenthesized display-name handling dates to cbcda654b4 (2002-08-22).
