Wez Furlong 42bf5c5e61 docs: adjust reference to improve search terms
We've been hoping that mkdocs-material will ship the much anticipated
search enhancements for some time, but it's time to recognize that
we need to do something to improve the search results with how
things work right now.

This is a big commit that changes the titles of the various pages
from the code-annotated synopsis to just the name of the function.

This makes it much easier now to match things like `kumo.reject`
directly, but `reject` remains awkward to find.

I think this is the best that we can do at this time.

A few functions have been annotated with the `status: deprecated` to
show as deprecated in the toc/nav (shows with a little trash can next
to the name).

smtp_server_ehlo

kumo.on('smtp_server_ehlo', function(domain, conn_meta) end)

Called by the ESMTP server in response to the client issuing either a "HELO" or "EHLO" command. The event handler is passed the domain parameter from the HELO/EHLO command.

{{since('2023.08.22-4d895015', indent=True)}} The conn_meta parameter represents the connection metadata and can be used to share state between the various SMTP listener event handlers. See Connection Metadata for more information.

You may choose to reject the connection via kumo.reject.

-- Called to validate the helo and/or ehlo domain
kumo.on('smtp_server_ehlo', function(domain, conn_meta)
  -- Use kumo.reject to return an error to the EHLO command
  if domain == 'bad.actor' then
    kumo.reject(420, 'go away')
  end
end)

{{since('2025.01.23-7273d2bc')}}

The signature of the call has been extended to receive the list of SMTP extensions that will be reported by the EHLO command. You can optionally return a list of extensions to replace that list.

This example shows how to advertise support for a hypothetical "X-SOMETHING" extension:

kumo.on('smtp_server_ehlo', function(domain, conn_meta, extensions)
  table.insert(extensions, 'X-SOMETHING')
  return extensions
end)

If you return nil or otherwise omit to return anything, the standard set of extensions will be returned.

You can filter out or add whatever strings you wish from the extensions parameter, but it is worth noting that what you add/remove from this list has no impact on what kumomta actually supports, and does not otherwise change its behavior.
