For the EHLO I'm considering using the 'user' field for the domain so that
the user can decide what to tell the server.
IMHO, this is not a good idea: RFC 1738 (URL) 3.1 (common internet scheme
syntax) and RFC 2396 (URI) 3.2.2 (server-based naming authority) describe
this as a credential field and the "logical reflex" of URL composers is to
give such info here.
Since there is no standard SMTP URL, I would rather use its first path
component specify the client domain, as it is unused by now...
That might be better, yes. I'll switch to that. I figure we need to document
the SMTP URL syntax we'll end up using somewhere...
