Hi Sam,

how is Courier's "Received:" header format specified?  I do know the
general "Received:" header format; I am especially interested in the
second "from" comment field:

| Received: from nova (p549A64A3.dip.t-dialin.net [::ffff:84.154.100.163])
|   (AUTH: LOGIN [EMAIL PROTECTED], TLS: TLSv1/SSLv3,128bits,RC4-MD5)
|   by io.link-m.de with esmtp; Mon, 31 Jan 2005 16:34:13 +0100
|   id 00007D14.41FE4FF6.00006F9C

Here, it is "AUTH: LOGIN [EMAIL PROTECTED], TLS:
TLSv1/SSLv3,128bits,RC4-MD5".  But what's the general format?  What
assumptions can I make when trying to parse the "AUTH" part?

There are a couple of other things that can appear there, but there's not much else.

"LOGIN" is the SASL authentication method used to authenticate. You could also see CRAM-MD5, and a few other things in there, if you enabled those.

TLS: indicates the STARTTLS. If you enabled SMTP over SSL on port 465 you'll see SSL: instead of TLS:.

The only other thing you can get in there is "IDENT: foo", if Courier received a response to the identd query on the source IP address.

IDENT: would appear before AUTH:, if both are present.
