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.

change mox to start as root, bind to network sockets, then drop to regular unprivileged mox user makes it easier to run on bsd's, where you cannot (easily?) let non-root users bind to ports <1024. starting as root also paves the way for future improvements with privilege separation. unfortunately, this requires changes to how you start mox. though mox will help by automatically fix up dir/file permissions/ownership. if you start mox from the systemd unit file, you should update it so it starts as root and adds a few additional capabilities: # first update the mox binary, then, as root: ./mox config printservice >mox.service systemctl daemon-reload systemctl restart mox journalctl -f -u mox & # you should see mox start up, with messages about fixing permissions on dirs/files. if you used the recommended config/ and data/ directory, in a directory just for mox, and with the mox user called "mox", this should be enough. if you don't want mox to modify dir/file permissions, set "NoFixPermissions: true" in mox.conf. if you named the mox user something else than mox, e.g. "_mox", add "User: _mox" to mox.conf. if you created a shared service user as originally suggested, you may want to get rid of that as it is no longer useful and may get in the way. e.g. if you had /home/service/mox with a "service" user, that service user can no longer access any files: only mox and root can. this also adds scripts for building mox docker images for alpine-supported platforms. the "restart" subcommand has been removed. it wasn't all that useful and got in the way. and another change: when adding a domain while mtasts isn't enabled, don't add the per-domain mtasts config, as it would cause failure to add the domain. based on report from setting up mox on openbsd from mteege. and based on issue #3. thanks for the feedback!

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.
