It added four ESMTP extensions, SRS for forwarded mail and SMTP rate shaping.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>PIPELINING (RFC 2920)</strong> advertised in EHLO.</li>
<li><strong>SMTPUTF8 / EAI (RFC 6531/6532)</strong>: internationalised addresses accepted and relayed.</li>
<li><strong>ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES (RFC 2034)</strong>: x.y.z codes on ESMTP replies.</li>
<li><strong>DSN (RFC 3461/3464)</strong>: RET, ENVID, NOTIFY and ORCPT accepted. Per-recipient NOTIFY is honoured, and NOTIFY=NEVER suppresses failure DSNs.</li>
<li><strong>SRS (Sender Rewriting Scheme)</strong>: HMAC-signed, reversible envelope rewrite on forwarding, for SPF alignment. Bounces are decoded back to the original sender. Opt-in via <code>[Settings] SRSEnabled</code> and <code>SRSSecret</code>.</li>
<li><strong>SMTP rate shaping</strong>, per-IP and per-destination, via <code>[Settings] MaxSubmissionsPerIPPerMinute</code> and <code>MaxOutboundPerDestinationPerMinute</code>. Both default to off.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">One fix: <code>Unicode::WideToMultiByte</code> returned a trailing NUL that could corrupt DPAPI-protected stored secrets. The result is now trimmed to the exact byte length.</p>
<p dir="auto">Everything new here defaults to off and is back-compatible, so the release changed nothing about an existing configuration until a setting was turned on. The build was clean, 0 warnings and 0 errors, with the SMTP regression suite and the in-server self-tests green.</p>
