current behaviour isn't intuitive. it's not great to have to attempt parsing
the strings as both localpart and email address. so we deprecate the
localpart-only behaviour. when we load the config file, and it has
localpart-only Destinations keys, we'll change them to full addresses in
memory. when an admin causes a write of domains.conf, it'll automatically be
fixed. we log an error with a deprecated notice for each localpart-only
destinations key.
sometime in the future, we can remove the old localpart-only destination
support. will be in the release notes then.
also start keeping track of update notes that need to make it in the release
notes of the next release.
for issue #18
- make builtin http handlers serve on specific domains, such as for mta-sts, so
e.g. /.well-known/mta-sts.txt isn't served on all domains.
- add logging of a few more fields in access logging.
- small tweaks/bug fixes in webserver request handling.
- add config option for redirecting entire domains to another (common enough).
- split httpserver metric into two: one for duration until writing header (i.e.
performance of server), another for duration until full response is sent to
client (i.e. performance as perceived by users).
- add admin ui, a new page for managing the configs. after making changes
and hitting "save", the changes take effect immediately. the page itself
doesn't look very well-designed (many input fields, makes it look messy). i
have an idea to improve it (explained in admin.html as todo) by making the
layout look just like the config file. not urgent though.
i've already changed my websites/webapps over.
the idea of adding a webserver is to take away a (the) reason for folks to want
to complicate their mox setup by running an other webserver on the same machine.
i think the current webserver implementation can already serve most common use
cases. with a few more tweaks (feedback needed!) we should be able to get to 95%
of the use cases. the reverse proxy can take care of the remaining 5%.
nevertheless, a next step is still to change the quickstart to make it easier
for folks to run with an existing webserver, with existing tls certs/keys.
that's how this relates to issue #5.
