otherwise, setting a password will block if something has the account open,
e.g. any imap connection. so in practice it only worked when mox isn't running.
- make the example commands in the readme more likely to succeed, especially
for people who are not familiar with go and its toolchain.
- improve probability that the correct configuration is generated, especially
the hostname. previously, if the quickstart email address was "some.domain",
and the machine where you ran the quickstart was "myhost", the hostname used
for the configuration was assumed to be "myhost.some.domain". but this is often
not correct, especially when configuring mox to serve mail on a subdomain of an
existing domain. mox will now try to determine the host name by a reverse
lookup of the public ips it found. and it will warn if there are no/multiple
candidates.
based on feedback from erik dubbelboer, thanks!
and change thunderbird autoconfiguration to use it.
unfortunately, for microsoft autodiscover, there appears to be no way to
request secure password negotiation. so it will default to plain text auth.
cram-md5 is less secure than scram-sha-*, but thunderbird does not yet support
scram auth. it currently chooses "plain", sending the literal password over the
connection (which is TLS-protected, but we don't want to receive clear text
passwords). in short, cram-md5 is better than nothing...
for cram-md5 to work, a new set of derived credentials need to be stored in the
database. so you need to save your password again to make it work. this was
also the case with the scram-sha-1 addition, but i forgot to mention it then.
the idea is that clients may not support SCRAM-SHA-256, but may support
SCRAM-SHA-1. if they do support the 256 variant, they'll use it.
unfortunately, thunderbird does not support scram-sha-1 either.
named "traceauth" and "tracedata".
with this, you can (almost) enable trace logging without fear of logging
sensitive data or ddos'ing your log server.
the caveat is that the imap login command has already printed the line as
regular trace before we can decide it should not be. can be fixed soon.
- and don't have a global variable "d" in the big checkDomain function in http/admin.go.
- and set loglevel from command-line flag again after loading the config file, for all subcommands except "serve".
- when sendmail is invoked to sent to a local user, eg "root", send to a
configured defaultaddress instead. previously, we would fail printing usage.
- add a subcommand that prints the config file, /etc/moxsubmit.conf.
- follow the STARTTLS setting.
- fix running as just plain sendmail.
