Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Mailpit versions 1.30.0 up to but not including 1.30.5 are affected. The SMTP DATA reader checks the configured MaxMessageSize only after buffering a complete newline-terminated line, so a single over-limit line is allocated in memory before rejection. A remote unauthenticated client that can reach the SMTP listener can force memory allocation above the configured cap, which can degrade availability. Upgrade to Mailpit 1.30.5 or later, which is listed as the fixed version.
