Add comprehensive SMTP command tests for RCPT TO, DATA, QUIT, TLS, and basic email sending

- Implement CMD-03 tests for RCPT TO command, validating recipient addresses, handling multiple recipients, and enforcing command sequence. - Implement CMD-04 tests for DATA command, ensuring proper email content transmission, handling of dot-stuffing, large messages, and correct command sequence. - Implement CMD-13 tests for QUIT command, verifying graceful connection termination and idempotency. - Implement CM-01 tests for TLS connections, including STARTTLS capability and direct TLS connections. - Implement EP-01 tests for basic email sending, covering complete SMTP transaction flow, MIME attachments, HTML emails, custom headers, and minimal emails.

+## Key Conversion Patterns
+
+### Framework Changes
+```typescript
+// BEFORE (dcrouter - tap)
+tap.test('should accept EHLO', async (t) => {
+  expect(response).toBeTruthy();
+  expect(response).toEqual('250 OK');
+});
+
+// AFTER (mailer - Deno)
+Deno.test({
+  name: 'CMD-01: EHLO - accepts valid hostname',
+  async fn() {
+    assert(response);
+    assertEquals(response, '250 OK');
+  },
+  sanitizeResources: false,
+  sanitizeOps: false,
+});
+```
+
+### Network I/O Changes
+```typescript
+// BEFORE (dcrouter - Node.js)
+import * as net from 'net';
+const socket = net.connect({ port, host });
+
+// AFTER (mailer - Deno)
+const conn = await Deno.connect({
+  hostname: host,
+  port,
+  transport: 'tcp',
+});
+```
+
+### Assertion Changes
+```typescript
+// BEFORE (dcrouter)
+expect(response).toBeTruthy()
+expect(value).toEqual(expected)
+expect(text).toMatch(/pattern/)
+
+// AFTER (mailer)
+assert(response)
+assertEquals(value, expected)
+assertMatch(text, /pattern/)
+```

+## Migration Checklist Template
+
+When porting a new test file, use this checklist:
+
+- [ ] Identify source test file in dcrouter
+- [ ] Create destination test file with proper naming
+- [ ] Convert tap.test() to Deno.test()
+- [ ] Update imports (.js → .ts, @std/assert)
+- [ ] Convert expect() to assert/assertEquals/assertMatch
+- [ ] Replace Node.js net with Deno.connect()
+- [ ] Add sanitizeResources: false, sanitizeOps: false
+- [ ] Preserve all test logic and validations
+- [ ] Run tests and verify all passing
+- [ ] Update this migration tracker
+- [ ] Update test/readme.md with new tests

+## Infrastructure Files
+
+### Created for Deno Migration
+
+| File | Purpose | Status |
+|------|---------|--------|
+| `test/helpers/utils.ts` | Deno-native SMTP protocol utilities | ✅ Complete |
+| `test/helpers/server.loader.ts` | Test server lifecycle management | ✅ Complete |
+| `test/helpers/smtp.client.ts` | SMTP client test utilities | ✅ Complete |

+| `test/readme.md` | Test suite documentation | ✅ Complete |
+| `test/readme.testmigration.md` | This migration tracker | ✅ Complete |
+

+
+## Notes
+
+- **Test Ports**: Each test file uses a unique port to avoid conflicts (CMD-01: 25251, CMD-02: 25252, etc.)
+- **Type Checking**: Tests run with `--no-check` flag due to existing TypeScript errors in mailer codebase
+- **TLS Testing**: Self-signed certificates used; some TLS handshake timeouts are expected and acceptable
+- **Test Isolation**: Each test file has setup/cleanup tests for server lifecycle
+- **Coverage Goal**: Aim for >90% test coverage before production deployment
