Karti TripathiandClaude Opus 5 36b15ddcaf Rewrite as a Rust, Apache-2.0 workspace
Supersedes the Go + embed-Mox design. The Go tree is removed; its
architecture doc is preserved at docs/archive/ARCHITECTURE-go-embed-mox.md
because its competitive analysis and data model still hold.

Five decisions recorded as ADRs:

  0001  Rust, not Go — accepting ~5,500 lines of protocol code that Mox
        would have given us free, to get the first permissively licensed
        Rust mail server. Costs stated plainly.
  0002  Apache-2.0, not MIT or AGPL — patent grant, trademark, CLA-free
        contribution. Public on GitHub; Gitea stays as the private fallback.
  0003  Stalwart's primitive crates (Apache-2.0/MIT) yes; its AGPL server
        crates never. DANE and MTA-STS sit on the AGPL side of that line,
        which is why we write our own.
  0004  Milestones, reordered: embedded inbound is required at launch.
  0005  Oracle Cloud blocks outbound :25, so direct-to-MX is impossible on
        the launch host. Split delivery is mandatory, not an on-ramp.

Twelve crates in three tiers. Tier 1 (mail-dane, mail-mta-sts, mail-dsn)
is standalone and publishable — no `dane` or `mta-sts` crate exists on
crates.io at all today.

openmail-relay ships the provider table as data, with SES and Oracle from
the start. Oracle's and Resend's SPF includes are deliberately None: a
guessed include turns the DNS check green against a mechanism the provider
does not honour, and mail still fails SPF silently.

cargo check/test/clippy/fmt all green; unsafe_code is forbidden workspace
wide; cargo-deny enforces the licence policy in CI.

//! Outbound delivery: smarthost relays and direct-to-MX.
//!
//! Two paths behind one interface:
//!
//! - **relay** — hand the message to SES / OCI Email Delivery / any smarthost
//! on submission (587). Someone else's IP reputation. Works everywhere,
//! including hosts that block outbound :25.
//! - **direct** — resolve MX, apply [`mail_mta_sts`] and [`mail_dane`], deliver
//! ourselves. Our reputation, our control, and impossible on a host that
//! blocks outbound :25 (see `docs/adr/0005-oracle-cloud.md`).
