Unknown recipients are not logged #232

After migrating some domains over to mox, I woud like to monitor the logs for attempts to send e-mail to non-existing addresses. It could be an indication that I have failed to migrate some addresses. It would be also useful to see if anyone is trying to enumerate possible addresses.

Unfortunately I found that when external delivery attempt to unknown recipients is logged, the recipients entry is always empty. I was not able to find any log entry containing the recipient address even though I have debug level logging enabled.

See example below:

2024-10-18TXX:XX:XX.XXXXXX+00:00 XXXXX mox[763]: l=info m="deliver attempt to unknown user(s)" pkg=smtpserver recipients=[] cid=192a12e1736 delta="52.44µs"

I looked at the code where this is logged, but it wasn't immediately obvious to me why recipients would end up being empty.

This is with mox-v0.0.12-go1.23.2.

…e recipient

before this change, we were logging an empty string, which turned into "[]",
looking like an empty array. misleading and unhelpful.

this is fixed by making struct fields on type recipient "exported" so they can
get logged, and by changing the logging code to log nested
struct/pointer/interface fields if we would otherwise wouldn't log anything
(when only logging more basic data types).

we'll now get log lines like:

	l=info m="deliver attempt to unknown user(s)" pkg=smtpserver recipients="[[email protected]]"
