From emails I have received from @marclaporte, I noticed that there seems to be no mail client identification string in the message headers when sent by Cypht.
If that is indeed the case, I think it would be good for Cypht to advertise itself in the metadata of outgoing emails. I suspect some email servers / filters might frown upon the lack of identification otherwise, but also, it makes troubleshooting more difficult.
Examples of such mail headers, that can be seen with Evolution's "View > All message headers" menu action:
User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird
X-Mailer: Usermin 2.102
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 16.0
User-Agent: Evolution 3.51.1
User-Agent: Evolution 3.54.1 (3.54.1-1.fc41)
User-Agent: K-9 Mail for Android
As you can see, the industry is a bit of a mix from both (X-Mailer apparently is the old informal standard, and User-Agent seems to be the newer one, as evidenced by its popularity among FLOSS email clients), also observed in this old Thunderbird ticket. I suspect that you'll want to use at least User-Agent, though presumably using both at the same time wouldn't be a bad thing?
