 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-02-10 - 2.4.0 - feat(docs)
+document Rust-side in-process security pipeline and update README to reflect SMTP server behavior and crate/test counts
+
+- Clarifies that the Rust SMTP server accepts the full SMTP protocol and runs the security pipeline in-process (DKIM/SPF/DMARC verification, content scanning, IP reputation/DNSBL) to avoid IPC round-trips
+- Notes that Rust now emits an emailReceived IPC event with pre-computed security results attached for TypeScript to use in routing/delivery decisions
+- Updates mailer-smtp crate description to include the in-process security pipeline and increments its test count from 72 to 77
+- Adjusts TypeScript directory comments to reflect removal/relocation of the legacy TS SMTP server and the smtpclient path
+
 ## 2026-02-10 - 2.3.2 - fix(tests)
 remove large SMTP client test suites and update SmartFile API usage

 **Data flow for inbound mail:**
 
-1. Rust SMTP server accepts the connection and handles the SMTP protocol
-2. On `DATA` completion, Rust emits an `emailReceived` event via IPC

+1. Rust SMTP server accepts the connection and handles the full SMTP protocol
+2. On `DATA` completion, Rust runs the security pipeline **in-process** (DKIM/SPF/DMARC verification, content scanning, IP reputation check) — zero IPC round-trips
