add a webapi and webhooks for a simple http/json-based api for applications to compose/send messages, receive delivery feedback, and maintain suppression lists. this is an alternative to applications using a library to compose messages, submitting those messages using smtp, and monitoring a mailbox with imap for DSNs, which can be processed into the equivalent of suppression lists. but you need to know about all these standards/protocols and find libraries. by using the webapi & webhooks, you just need a http & json library. unfortunately, there is no standard for these kinds of api, so mox has made up yet another one... matching incoming DSNs about deliveries to original outgoing messages requires keeping history of "retired" messages (delivered from the queue, either successfully or failed). this can be enabled per account. history is also useful for debugging deliveries. we now also keep history of each delivery attempt, accessible while still in the queue, and kept when a message is retired. the queue webadmin pages now also have pagination, to show potentially large history. a queue of webhook calls is now managed too. failures are retried similar to message deliveries. webhooks can also be saved to the retired list after completing. also configurable per account. messages can be sent with a "unique smtp mail from" address. this can only be used if the domain is configured with a localpart catchall separator such as "+". when enabled, a queued message gets assigned a random "fromid", which is added after the separator when sending. when DSNs are returned, they can be related to previously sent messages based on this fromid. in the future, we can implement matching on the "envid" used in the smtp dsn extension, or on the "message-id" of the message. using a fromid can be triggered by authenticating with a login email address that is configured as enabling fromid. suppression lists are automatically managed per account. if a delivery attempt results in certain smtp errors, the destination address is added to the suppression list. future messages queued for that recipient will immediately fail without a delivery attempt. suppression lists protect your mail server reputation. submitted messages can carry "extra" data through the queue and webhooks for outgoing deliveries. through webapi as a json object, through smtp submission as message headers of the form "x-mox-extra-<key>: value". to make it easy to test webapi/webhooks locally, the "localserve" mode actually puts messages in the queue. when it's time to deliver, it still won't do a full delivery attempt, but just delivers to the sender account. unless the recipient address has a special form, simulating a failure to deliver. admins now have more control over the queue. "hold rules" can be added to mark newly queued messages as "on hold", pausing delivery. rules can be about certain sender or recipient domains/addresses, or apply to all messages pausing the entire queue. also useful for (local) testing. new config options have been introduced. they are editable through the admin and/or account web interfaces. the webapi http endpoints are enabled for newly generated configs with the quickstart, and in localserve. existing configurations must explicitly enable the webapi in mox.conf. gopherwatch.org was created to dogfood this code. it initially used just the compose/smtpclient/imapclient mox packages to send messages and process delivery feedback. it will get a config option to use the mox webapi/webhooks instead. the gopherwatch code to use webapi/webhook is smaller and simpler, and developing that shaped development of the mox webapi/webhooks. for issue #31 by cuu508

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.

Command mox is a modern, secure, full-featured, open source mail server for
2023-01-30 16:27:06 +03:00
low-maintenance self-hosted email.
Mox is started with the "serve" subcommand, but mox also has many other
subcommands.
Many of those commands talk to a running mox instance, through the ctl file in
the data directory. Specify the configuration file (that holds the path to the
data directory) through the -config flag or MOXCONF environment variable.
Commands that don't talk to a running mox instance are often for
testing/debugging email functionality. For example for parsing an email message,
or looking up SPF/DKIM/DMARC records.
Below is the usage information as printed by the command when started without
any parameters. Followed by the help and usage information for each command.

Package config holds the configuration file definitions.
Mox uses two config files:
1. mox.conf, also called the static configuration file.
2. domains.conf, also called the dynamic configuration file.
The static configuration file is never reloaded during the lifetime of a
running mox instance. After changes to mox.conf, mox must be restarted for the
changes to take effect.
The dynamic configuration file is reloaded automatically when it changes.
If the file contains an error after the change, the reload is aborted and the
previous version remains active.
Below are "empty" config files, generated from the config file definitions in
the source code, along with comments explaining the fields. Fields named "x" are
placeholders for user-chosen map keys.
# sconf
The config files are in "sconf" format. Properties of sconf files:
- Indentation with tabs only.
- "#" as first non-whitespace character makes the line a comment. Lines with a
value cannot also have a comment.
- Values don't have syntax indicating their type. For example, strings are
not quoted/escaped and can never span multiple lines.
- Fields that are optional can be left out completely. But the value of an
optional field may itself have required fields.
