Great, I fetched your latest.

That was the only line it wrote to the log between receiving that DATA
and the process exiting, alas.

It doesn't like the former, it can't find bsd_auth.h which I don't think
we offer? For PAM, I enabled it but left it set to the default, smtpd,
happy to try other options there. It didn't make any difference, it
still exits, logging "smtpd: process pony socket closed" after the first
line after DATA (I tried a different line this time, too).

I've also now started to try to engage the upstream folks via
https://github.com/OpenSMTPD/OpenSMTPD/issues/1114 - I wonder if this
issue is similar to that, processing each message line is the first use
of some underlying function that an adjustment to config.h could
usefully avoid.

Perhaps attaching gdb to the right process (pony express?) could help
catch what's causing the exit, I guess there's some way to get -g into
the build options, Something I can try to figure out if that seems a
reasonable idea.
