we were trying to offset the timezone, but that makes no sense: we already
created a date in the local timezone based on (milli)seconds passed. so we can
just use that date instead of calculating a wrong date.
before this change, a message in the rejects folder that was read and marked as
notjunk (e.g. automatically by webmail), could cause a dmarc report to be sent
for another junky message from the domain. we now require positive signals to
be for messages not in the rejects mailbox.
the text/plain body of a dmarc report contains the period, but it was in local
time while claiming to be in utc. make it utc, so we often get nicely rounded
whole 24h utc days.
by fixing a typo in the content-type...
and by recognizing the application/x-zip that is detected as content-type.
discovered when a dmarc report from aws ses wasn't processed.
it seems aws ses was sending a dmarc report because it received a dmarc report.
- more eagerly report about overrides, so domain owners can better tell that
switching from p=none to p=reject will not cause trouble for these messages.
- report multiple reasons, e.g. mailing list and sampled out
- in dmarc analysis for rejects from first-time senders (possibly spammers),
fix the conditional check on nonjunk messages.
- in evaluations view in admin, show unaligned spf pass in yellow too and a few
more small tweaks.
"fatal" was meant as "we need fatal for the connection, it will be dropped".
but it sounds more serious, as if something needs to be fixed.
hopefully enough for issue #39 by ArnoSen
e.g. typical setup is a hostname mail.<domain>. and dsns can be sent from
postmaster@mail.<domain>. so it helps to look for dkim keys for <domain>, and
use them when signing. instead of looking for dkim keys for mail.<domain>,
which won't typically exist. similar to recent commit that added outgoing
dmarc aggregate reports.
in smtpserver, we store dmarc evaluations (under the right conditions).
in dmarcdb, we periodically (hourly) send dmarc reports if there are
evaluations. for failed deliveries, we deliver the dsn quietly to a submailbox
of the postmaster mailbox.
this is on by default, but can be disabled in mox.conf.
the underscores aren't valid, but have been seen in the wild, so we have a
workaround for them. there are limitations, it won't work with idna domains.
and if the domain has other policies, like mta-sts, the mx host won't pass
either.
after report from richard g about delivery issue, thanks!
given they are not part of the domain name (to which idna applies).
only the part after _domainkey may be idna.
found after going through code after report about mx targets with underscores
from richard g.
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".
the bar is currently showing 3 properties:
1. mta-sts enforced;
2. mx lookup returned dnssec-signed response;
3. first delivery destination host has dane records
the colors are: red for not-implemented, green for implemented, gray for error,
nothing for unknown/irrelevant.
the plan is to implement "requiretls" soon and start caching per domain whether
delivery can be done with starttls and whether the domain supports requiretls.
and show that in two new parts of the bar.
thanks to damian poddebniak for pointing out that security indicators should
always be visible, not only for positive/negative result. otherwise users won't
notice their absence.
so full name/email address is visible.
using a hidden grid element that gets the same content as the input element.

a recent commit probably also make the compose window full-screen-width on
chrome, this restores to the intended behaviour of a less wide default size.
if you add multiple address fields, the compose window will still grow. not
great, in the future, we should make the compose window resizable by dragging.
because the txt would already follow cnames.
the additional cname lookup didn't hurt, it just didn't do anything.
i probably didn't realize that before looking deeper into dns.
the original next-hop domain. not anything after resolving cname's, because
then it takes just a single injected dns cname record to lead us to an
unrelated server (that we would verify, but it's the wrong server).
also don't fallback to just strict tls when something is wrong. we must use the
policy to check if an mx host is allowed. the whole idea is that unsigned dns
records cannot be trusted.
i noticed this while implementing dane.
the textarea is resizable (though it's not convenient to do in firefox which
only shows a dragcorner in the bottomright, usually located in the bottom
corner of the screen, so there is little space left to drag the corner; the
workaround is to move the window temporarily).
by using a String object as the textarea child. instead of a regular js string
that would be unicode-block-switch-highlighted, which would cause it to be
split into parts, with odd or even parts added as span elements, which the
textarea would then ignore.
according to the rfc's (2231, and 2047), non-ascii filenames in content-type
and content-disposition headers should be encoded like this:
Content-Type: text/plain; name*=utf-8''hi%E2%98%BA.txt
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename*=utf-8''hi%E2%98%BA.txt
and that is what the Go standard library mime.ParseMediaType and
mime.FormatMediaType parse and generate.
this is what thunderbird sends:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; name="=?UTF-8?B?aGnimLoudHh0?="
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename*=UTF-8''%68%69%E2%98%BA%2E%74%78%74
(thunderbird will also correctly split long filenames over multiple parameters,
named "filename*0*", "filename*1*", etc.)
this is what gmail sends:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"; name="=?UTF-8?B?aGnimLoudHh0?="
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="=?UTF-8?B?aGnimLoudHh0?="
i cannot find where the q/b-word encoded values in "name" and "filename" are
allowed. until that time, we try parsing them unless in pedantic mode.
we didn't generate correctly encoded filenames yet, this commit also fixes that.
for issue #82 by mattfbacon, thanks for reporting!
before, we would leave the file, but rollback the delivery. future deliveries
would attempt to deliver to the same path, but would fail because a file
already exists.
encountered during testing on windows, not during actual operation. though it
could in theory have happened.
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.
top-posting causes "On $datetime, $sender wrote:" above the quoted text to be
added (unless there was no Date header or valid address in a From header).
in the near future we should create settings, and add a setting for adding the
"on ... wrote"-line, ideally including a template.
for issue #83 by mattfbacon, thanks!
so users can understand what is going on. e.g. a CAA record that doesn't allow
a CA to sign a certificate. previously, the error message would just be "no
viable challenge type found", which doesn't help the user.
people will either paste the records in their zone file. in that case, the
records will inherit "IN" from earlier records, and there will always be one
record. if anyone uses a different class, their smart enough to know they need
to add IN manually.
plenty of people will add their records through some clunky web interface of
their dns operator. they probably won't even have the choice to set the class,
it'll always be IN.
