Fix #3507 Note that this is not intended for a release at this point! We first have to test whether it runs stable enough. If we want to make a release while we are not confident enough in authres-checking, then we have to disable it. BTW, most of the 3000 new lines are in `test_data/messages/dkimchecks...`, not the actual code da3a4b94 adds the results to the Message info. It currently does this by adding them to `hop_info`. Maybe we should rename `hop_info` to `extra_info` or something; this has the disadvantage that we can't rename the sql column name though. Follow-ups for this could be: - In `update_authservid_candidates()`: Implement the rest of the algorithm @hpk42 and me thought about. What's missing is remembering how sure we are that these are the right authserv-ids. Esp., when receiving a message sent from another account at the same domain, we can be quite sure that the authserv-ids in there are the ones of our email server. This will make authres-checking work with buzon.uy, disroot.org, yandex.ru, mailo.com, and riseup.net. - Think about how we present this to the user - e.g. currently the only change is that we don't accept key changes, which will mean that the small lock on the message is not shown. - And it will mean that we can fully enable AEAP, after revisiting the security implications of this, and assuming everyone (esp. @link2xt who pointed out the problems in the first place) feels comfortable with it.

Deltachat-core written in Rust
Installing Rust and Cargo
To download and install the official compiler for the Rust programming language, and the Cargo package manager, run the command in your user environment:
$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
On Windows, you may need to also install Perl to be able to compile deltachat-core.
Using the CLI client
Compile and run Delta Chat Core command line utility, using cargo:
$ RUST_LOG=repl=info cargo run --example repl --features repl -- ~/deltachat-db
where ~/deltachat-db is the database file. Delta Chat will create it if it does not exist.

If yourfriend@email.org uses DeltaChat, but does not receive message just
sent, it is advisable to check Spam folder. It is known that at least
gmx.com treat such test messages as spam, unless told otherwise with web
interface.

Installing libdeltachat system wide
$ git clone https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust.git
$ cd deltachat-core-rust
$ cmake -B build . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
$ cmake --build build
$ sudo cmake --install build
Development
# run tests
$ cargo test --all
# build c-ffi
$ cargo build -p deltachat_ffi --release
Debugging environment variables
-
DCC_MIME_DEBUG: if set outgoing and incoming message will be printed -
RUST_LOG=repl=info,async_imap=trace,async_smtp=trace: enable IMAP and SMTP tracing in addition to info messages.
Expensive tests
Some tests are expensive and marked with #[ignore], to run these
use the --ignored argument to the test binary (not to cargo itself):
$ cargo test -- --ignored
Features
vendored: When using Openssl for TLS, this bundles a vendored version.nightly: Enable nightly only performance and security related features.
