implement tls client certificate authentication the imap & smtp servers now allow logging in with tls client authentication and the "external" sasl authentication mechanism. email clients like thunderbird, fairemail, k9, macos mail implement it. this seems to be the most secure among the authentication mechanism commonly implemented by clients. a useful property is that an account can have a separate tls public key for each device/email client. with tls client cert auth, authentication is also bound to the tls connection. a mitm cannot pass the credentials on to another tls connection, similar to scram-*-plus. though part of scram-*-plus is that clients verify that the server knows the client credentials. for tls client auth with imap, we send a "preauth" untagged message by default. that puts the connection in authenticated state. given the imap connection state machine, further authentication commands are not allowed. some clients don't recognize the preauth message, and try to authenticate anyway, which fails. a tls public key has a config option to disable preauth, keeping new connections in unauthenticated state, to work with such email clients. for smtp (submission), we don't require an explicit auth command. both for imap and smtp, we allow a client to authenticate with another mechanism than "external". in that case, credentials are verified, and have to be for the same account as the tls client auth, but the adress can be another one than the login address configured with the tls public key. only the public key is used to identify the account that is authenticating. we ignore the rest of the certificate. expiration dates, names, constraints, etc are not verified. no certificate authorities are involved. users can upload their own (minimal) certificate. the account web interface shows openssl commands you can run to generate a private key, minimal cert, and a p12 file (the format that email clients seem to like...) containing both private key and certificate. the imapclient & smtpclient packages can now also use tls client auth. and so does "mox sendmail", either with a pem file with private key and certificate, or with just an ed25519 private key. there are new subcommands "mox config tlspubkey ..." for adding/removing/listing tls public keys from the cli, by the admin.

implement "requiretls", rfc 8689 with requiretls, the tls verification mode/rules for email deliveries can be changed by the sender/submitter. in two ways: 1. "requiretls" smtp extension to always enforce verified tls (with mta-sts or dnssec+dane), along the entire delivery path until delivery into the final destination mailbox (so entire transport is verified-tls-protected). 2. "tls-required: no" message header, to ignore any tls and tls verification errors even if the recipient domain has a policy that requires tls verification (mta-sts and/or dnssec+dane), allowing delivery of non-sensitive messages in case of misconfiguration/interoperability issues (at least useful for sending tls reports). we enable requiretls by default (only when tls is active), for smtp and submission. it can be disabled through the config. for each delivery attempt, we now store (per recipient domain, in the account of the sender) whether the smtp server supports starttls and requiretls. this support is shown (after having sent a first message) in the webmail when sending a message (the previous 3 bars under the address input field are now 5 bars, the first for starttls support, the last for requiretls support). when all recipient domains for a message are known to implement requiretls, requiretls is automatically selected for sending (instead of "default" tls behaviour). users can also select the "fallback to insecure" to add the "tls-required: no" header. new metrics are added for insight into requiretls errors and (some, not yet all) cases where tls-required-no ignored a tls/verification error. the admin can change the requiretls status for messages in the queue. so with default delivery attempts, when verified tls is required by failing, an admin could potentially change the field to "tls-required: no"-behaviour. messages received (over smtp) with the requiretls option, get a comment added to their Received header line, just before "id", after "with".

new feature: when delivering messages from the queue, make it possible to use a "transport" the default transport is still just "direct delivery", where we connect to the destination domain's MX servers. other transports are: - regular smtp without authentication, this is relaying to a smarthost. - submission with authentication, e.g. to a third party email sending service. - direct delivery, but with with connections going through a socks proxy. this can be helpful if your ip is blocked, you need to get email out, and you have another IP that isn't blocked. keep in mind that for all of the above, appropriate SPF/DKIM settings have to be configured. the "dnscheck" for a domain does a check for any SOCKS IP in the SPF record. SPF for smtp/submission (ranges? includes?) and any DKIM requirements cannot really be checked. which transport is used can be configured through routes. routes can be set on an account, a domain, or globally. the routes are evaluated in that order, with the first match selecting the transport. these routes are evaluated for each delivery attempt. common selection criteria are recipient domain and sender domain, but also which delivery attempt this is. you could configured mox to attempt sending through a 3rd party from the 4th attempt onwards. routes and transports are optional. if no route matches, or an empty/zero transport is selected, normal direct delivery is done. we could already "submit" emails with 3rd party accounts with "sendmail". but we now support more SASL authentication mechanisms with SMTP (not only PLAIN, but also SCRAM-SHA-256, SCRAM-SHA-1 and CRAM-MD5), which sendmail now also supports. sendmail will use the most secure mechanism supported by the server, or the explicitly configured mechanism. for issue #36 by dmikushin. also based on earlier discussion on hackernews.

implement outgoing tls reports we were already accepting, processing and displaying incoming tls reports. now we start tracking TLS connection and security-policy-related errors for outgoing message deliveries as well. we send reports once a day, to the reporting addresses specified in TLSRPT records (rua) of a policy domain. these reports are about MTA-STS policies and/or DANE policies, and about STARTTLS-related failures. sending reports is enabled by default, but can be disabled through setting NoOutgoingTLSReports in mox.conf. only at the end of the implementation process came the realization that the TLSRPT policy domain for DANE (MX) hosts are separate from the TLSRPT policy for the recipient domain, and that MTA-STS and DANE TLS/policy results are typically delivered in separate reports. so MX hosts need their own TLSRPT policies. config for the per-host TLSRPT policy should be added to mox.conf for existing installs, in field HostTLSRPT. it is automatically configured by quickstart for new installs. with a HostTLSRPT config, the "dns records" and "dns check" admin pages now suggest the per-host TLSRPT record. by creating that record, you're requesting TLS reports about your MX host. gathering all the TLS/policy results is somewhat tricky. the tentacles go throughout the code. the positive result is that the TLS/policy-related code had to be cleaned up a bit. for example, the smtpclient TLS modes now reflect reality better, with independent settings about whether PKIX and/or DANE verification has to be done, and/or whether verification errors have to be ignored (e.g. for tls-required: no header). also, cached mtasts policies of mode "none" are now cleaned up once the MTA-STS DNS record goes away.

implement tls client certificate authentication the imap & smtp servers now allow logging in with tls client authentication and the "external" sasl authentication mechanism. email clients like thunderbird, fairemail, k9, macos mail implement it. this seems to be the most secure among the authentication mechanism commonly implemented by clients. a useful property is that an account can have a separate tls public key for each device/email client. with tls client cert auth, authentication is also bound to the tls connection. a mitm cannot pass the credentials on to another tls connection, similar to scram-*-plus. though part of scram-*-plus is that clients verify that the server knows the client credentials. for tls client auth with imap, we send a "preauth" untagged message by default. that puts the connection in authenticated state. given the imap connection state machine, further authentication commands are not allowed. some clients don't recognize the preauth message, and try to authenticate anyway, which fails. a tls public key has a config option to disable preauth, keeping new connections in unauthenticated state, to work with such email clients. for smtp (submission), we don't require an explicit auth command. both for imap and smtp, we allow a client to authenticate with another mechanism than "external". in that case, credentials are verified, and have to be for the same account as the tls client auth, but the adress can be another one than the login address configured with the tls public key. only the public key is used to identify the account that is authenticating. we ignore the rest of the certificate. expiration dates, names, constraints, etc are not verified. no certificate authorities are involved. users can upload their own (minimal) certificate. the account web interface shows openssl commands you can run to generate a private key, minimal cert, and a p12 file (the format that email clients seem to like...) containing both private key and certificate. the imapclient & smtpclient packages can now also use tls client auth. and so does "mox sendmail", either with a pem file with private key and certificate, or with just an ed25519 private key. there are new subcommands "mox config tlspubkey ..." for adding/removing/listing tls public keys from the cli, by the admin.

make mox compile on windows, without "mox serve" but with working "mox localserve" getting mox to compile required changing code in only a few places where package "syscall" was used: for accessing file access times and for umask handling. an open problem is how to start a process as an unprivileged user on windows. that's why "mox serve" isn't implemented yet. and just finding a way to implement it now may not be good enough in the near future: we may want to starting using a more complete privilege separation approach, with a process handling sensitive tasks (handling private keys, authentication), where we may want to pass file descriptors between processes. how would that work on windows? anyway, getting mox to compile for windows doesn't mean it works properly on windows. the largest issue: mox would normally open a file, rename or remove it, and finally close it. this happens during message delivery. that doesn't work on windows, the rename/remove would fail because the file is still open. so this commit swaps many "remove" and "close" calls. renames are a longer story: message delivery had two ways to deliver: with "consuming" the (temporary) message file (which would rename it to its final destination), and without consuming (by hardlinking the file, falling back to copying). the last delivery to a recipient of a message (and the only one in the common case of a single recipient) would consume the message, and the earlier recipients would not. during delivery, the already open message file was used, to parse the message. we still want to use that open message file, and the caller now stays responsible for closing it, but we no longer try to rename (consume) the file. we always hardlink (or copy) during delivery (this works on windows), and the caller is responsible for closing and removing (in that order) the original temporary file. this does cost one syscall more. but it makes the delivery code (responsibilities) a bit simpler. there is one more obvious issue: the file system path separator. mox already used the "filepath" package to join paths in many places, but not everywhere. and it still used strings with slashes for local file access. with this commit, the code now uses filepath.FromSlash for path strings with slashes, uses "filepath" in a few more places where it previously didn't. also switches from "filepath" to regular "path" package when handling mailbox names in a few places, because those always use forward slashes, regardless of local file system conventions. windows can handle forward slashes when opening files, so test code that passes path strings with forward slashes straight to go stdlib file i/o functions are left unchanged to reduce code churn. the regular non-test code, or test code that uses path strings in places other than standard i/o functions, does have the paths converted for consistent paths (otherwise we would end up with paths with mixed forward/backward slashes in log messages). windows cannot dup a listening socket. for "mox localserve", it isn't important, and we can work around the issue. the current approach for "mox serve" (forking a process and passing file descriptors of listening sockets on "privileged" ports) won't work on windows. perhaps it isn't needed on windows, and any user can listen on "privileged" ports? that would be welcome. on windows, os.Open cannot open a directory, so we cannot call Sync on it after message delivery. a cursory internet search indicates that directories cannot be synced on windows. the story is probably much more nuanced than that, with long deep technical details/discussions/disagreement/confusion, like on unix. for "mox localserve" we can get away with making syncdir a no-op.

new feature: when delivering messages from the queue, make it possible to use a "transport" the default transport is still just "direct delivery", where we connect to the destination domain's MX servers. other transports are: - regular smtp without authentication, this is relaying to a smarthost. - submission with authentication, e.g. to a third party email sending service. - direct delivery, but with with connections going through a socks proxy. this can be helpful if your ip is blocked, you need to get email out, and you have another IP that isn't blocked. keep in mind that for all of the above, appropriate SPF/DKIM settings have to be configured. the "dnscheck" for a domain does a check for any SOCKS IP in the SPF record. SPF for smtp/submission (ranges? includes?) and any DKIM requirements cannot really be checked. which transport is used can be configured through routes. routes can be set on an account, a domain, or globally. the routes are evaluated in that order, with the first match selecting the transport. these routes are evaluated for each delivery attempt. common selection criteria are recipient domain and sender domain, but also which delivery attempt this is. you could configured mox to attempt sending through a 3rd party from the 4th attempt onwards. routes and transports are optional. if no route matches, or an empty/zero transport is selected, normal direct delivery is done. we could already "submit" emails with 3rd party accounts with "sendmail". but we now support more SASL authentication mechanisms with SMTP (not only PLAIN, but also SCRAM-SHA-256, SCRAM-SHA-1 and CRAM-MD5), which sendmail now also supports. sendmail will use the most secure mechanism supported by the server, or the explicitly configured mechanism. for issue #36 by dmikushin. also based on earlier discussion on hackernews.

implement "requiretls", rfc 8689 with requiretls, the tls verification mode/rules for email deliveries can be changed by the sender/submitter. in two ways: 1. "requiretls" smtp extension to always enforce verified tls (with mta-sts or dnssec+dane), along the entire delivery path until delivery into the final destination mailbox (so entire transport is verified-tls-protected). 2. "tls-required: no" message header, to ignore any tls and tls verification errors even if the recipient domain has a policy that requires tls verification (mta-sts and/or dnssec+dane), allowing delivery of non-sensitive messages in case of misconfiguration/interoperability issues (at least useful for sending tls reports). we enable requiretls by default (only when tls is active), for smtp and submission. it can be disabled through the config. for each delivery attempt, we now store (per recipient domain, in the account of the sender) whether the smtp server supports starttls and requiretls. this support is shown (after having sent a first message) in the webmail when sending a message (the previous 3 bars under the address input field are now 5 bars, the first for starttls support, the last for requiretls support). when all recipient domains for a message are known to implement requiretls, requiretls is automatically selected for sending (instead of "default" tls behaviour). users can also select the "fallback to insecure" to add the "tls-required: no" header. new metrics are added for insight into requiretls errors and (some, not yet all) cases where tls-required-no ignored a tls/verification error. the admin can change the requiretls status for messages in the queue. so with default delivery attempts, when verified tls is required by failing, an admin could potentially change the field to "tls-required: no"-behaviour. messages received (over smtp) with the requiretls option, get a comment added to their Received header line, just before "id", after "with".

implement tls client certificate authentication the imap & smtp servers now allow logging in with tls client authentication and the "external" sasl authentication mechanism. email clients like thunderbird, fairemail, k9, macos mail implement it. this seems to be the most secure among the authentication mechanism commonly implemented by clients. a useful property is that an account can have a separate tls public key for each device/email client. with tls client cert auth, authentication is also bound to the tls connection. a mitm cannot pass the credentials on to another tls connection, similar to scram-*-plus. though part of scram-*-plus is that clients verify that the server knows the client credentials. for tls client auth with imap, we send a "preauth" untagged message by default. that puts the connection in authenticated state. given the imap connection state machine, further authentication commands are not allowed. some clients don't recognize the preauth message, and try to authenticate anyway, which fails. a tls public key has a config option to disable preauth, keeping new connections in unauthenticated state, to work with such email clients. for smtp (submission), we don't require an explicit auth command. both for imap and smtp, we allow a client to authenticate with another mechanism than "external". in that case, credentials are verified, and have to be for the same account as the tls client auth, but the adress can be another one than the login address configured with the tls public key. only the public key is used to identify the account that is authenticating. we ignore the rest of the certificate. expiration dates, names, constraints, etc are not verified. no certificate authorities are involved. users can upload their own (minimal) certificate. the account web interface shows openssl commands you can run to generate a private key, minimal cert, and a p12 file (the format that email clients seem to like...) containing both private key and certificate. the imapclient & smtpclient packages can now also use tls client auth. and so does "mox sendmail", either with a pem file with private key and certificate, or with just an ed25519 private key. there are new subcommands "mox config tlspubkey ..." for adding/removing/listing tls public keys from the cli, by the admin.

implement dnssec-awareness throughout code, and dane for incoming/outgoing mail delivery the vendored dns resolver code is a copy of the go stdlib dns resolver, with awareness of the "authentic data" (i.e. dnssec secure) added, as well as support for enhanced dns errors, and looking up tlsa records (for dane). ideally it would be upstreamed, but the chances seem slim. dnssec-awareness is added to all packages, e.g. spf, dkim, dmarc, iprev. their dnssec status is added to the Received message headers for incoming email. but the main reason to add dnssec was for implementing dane. with dane, the verification of tls certificates can be done through certificates/public keys published in dns (in the tlsa records). this only makes sense (is trustworthy) if those dns records can be verified to be authentic. mox now applies dane to delivering messages over smtp. mox already implemented mta-sts for webpki/pkix-verification of certificates against the (large) pool of CA's, and still enforces those policies when present. but it now also checks for dane records, and will verify those if present. if dane and mta-sts are both absent, the regular opportunistic tls with starttls is still done. and the fallback to plaintext is also still done. mox also makes it easy to setup dane for incoming deliveries, so other servers can deliver with dane tls certificate verification. the quickstart now generates private keys that are used when requesting certificates with acme. the private keys are pre-generated because they must be static and known during setup, because their public keys must be published in tlsa records in dns. autocert would generate private keys on its own, so had to be forked to add the option to provide the private key when requesting a new certificate. hopefully upstream will accept the change and we can drop the fork. with this change, using the quickstart to setup a new mox instance, the checks at internet.nl result in a 100% score, provided the domain is dnssec-signed and the network doesn't have any issues.
