Sender display names such as Memos, Inc. produced invalid From headers, while parentheses and quotes could be lost when parsed. Format the sender with net/mail.Address so punctuation and non-ASCII names are preserved after the existing header sanitization.

SMTP hosts such as ::1 produced addresses like ::1:587, causing dialing to fail with too many colons in address. Use net.JoinHostPort for hostname, IPv4, IPv6, and scoped IPv6 addresses.

Validation:

  • Regression tests cover sender-name parsing, header sanitization, and SMTP address round trips.
  • Local SMTP delivery tests exercise the public Send path over IPv4 and IPv6 and parse the received From header.
  • go test -v -race ./internal/...
  • go build ./internal/email
  • go vet ./internal/email

Related: #6272 addresses RFC 2047 encoding of Subject and From text. This PR also fixes ASCII punctuation in sender names (for example Memos, Inc.), which encoded-word handling alone leaves unchanged, and SMTP IPv6 dialing. mail.Address.String already performs the required encoded-word handling for non-ASCII display names; Subject encoding remains covered by #6272. The From changes should be coordinated when merging both PRs to avoid pre-encoding a name before passing it to mail.Address.

Walkthrough

The email package now uses net.JoinHostPort for SMTP server addresses. This preserves IPv4, IPv6, and IPv6 zone hosts. It also uses mail.Address.String() for RFC-compliant From headers. Tests cover display names, sanitized values, address parsing, and SMTP delivery over IPv4 and IPv6 loopback listeners.

Suggested reviewers: boojack

Priority: ⬇️ Low — Defer this email package change because it narrowly improves sender-name formatting and IPv4/IPv6 SMTP address handling without broader product-impact evidence.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e1e94

Email sender formatting and IPv6 SMTP address support are covered by focused tests. Local SMTP test failures may be harder to diagnose because helper errors lack operation context, but production behavior is unaffected.

Greptile Summary

The PR formats sender headers with net/mail.Address so display-name punctuation and Unicode survive parsing, and constructs SMTP endpoints with net.JoinHostPort to support raw IPv6 literals.

  • Adds sender-name and header-sanitization regression coverage.
  • Adds host/port round-trip tests for hostnames, IPv4, IPv6, and scoped IPv6.
  • Adds local SMTP delivery coverage over IPv4 and IPv6.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR should not merge until existing bracketed IPv6 SMTP host settings remain dialable or are explicitly normalized or rejected.

The new endpoint construction fixes raw IPv6 literals but transforms a previously dialable bracketed IPv6 host into an invalid double-bracketed address.

Files Needing Attention: internal/email/config.go, internal/email/config_address_test.go

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
internal/email/config.go Replaces string concatenation with net.JoinHostPort, correctly supporting raw IPv6 but regressing already bracketed IPv6 settings.
internal/email/message.go Uses net/mail.Address to safely quote or encode sender display names after existing header sanitization.
internal/email/config_address_test.go Covers raw hostname and IP forms but omits the previously working bracketed IPv6 configuration.
internal/email/message_sender_test.go Verifies punctuation, quotes, parentheses, and non-ASCII sender names survive RFC header parsing.
internal/email/smtp_delivery_test.go Exercises public SMTP delivery and parsed From-header preservation over loopback IPv4 and IPv6.

P1 Bracketed IPv6 hosts become invalid

If an existing SMTP configuration stores an IPv6 literal in conventional bracketed form such as [::1], passing it directly to net.JoinHostPort produces [[::1]]:587, causing SMTP connection attempts to fail instead of reaching the configured server.

Wrap SMTP helper errors with operation context.

Return errors.Wrap(err, "<operation>") for each failed SMTP operation. Raw errors do not identify whether Accept, ReadLine, ReadDotBytes, or a response write failed.

Proposed change
- return nil, err
+ return nil, errors.Wrap(err, "accept SMTP connection")

Also applies to: 69-69, 73-73, 79-79, 87-87, 91-91, 95-95, 100-100
