the protocol is often: read one or more lines. only then return error. if we
would return an error after reading 1 line, parsing it and failing, the writer
(client connecting) may be busy writing more lines, not reading an error
response yet.
in quickstart, add troubleshooting hints.
in suggested dns records, explain the multiline long dkim record should
probably be converted into a single string.
the quickstart output is quite long already. i'm hoping for a "mox setup" in
the future where we help a user step-by-step to a fully working system. we'll
have more space to prevent hints and check the settings after a user made
changes. it's on the roadmap.
based on issues #158 and #164, thanks vipas84 and RobSlgm for reporting and
discussion.
recreating the account would resurface the old messages, certainly not what you'ld expect.
it's about time to just remove the files. we do ask admins to confirm that when
removing through admin interface. it's also in the "mox config account rm" help
output now.
for issue #162 by RobSlgm with feedback from x8x, thanks!
several fields in dmarc and tls reports have known string values. we have a Go
string type for them. sherpats (through sherpadoc) turns those strings into
typescript enums, and sherpats generates runtime-typechecking code (to enforce
correct types for incoming json, to prevent failing deeper in the code when we
get invalid data (much harder to debug)). the Go not-really-enum types allow
other values, and real-world reports have unknown/unspecified/invalid values.
this uses the sherpadoc -rename flag to turn those enums into regular untyped
strings, so sherpats doesn't generate enum-enforcing runtime type checking
code.
this required an update to sherpadoc, to properly handling renaming a type to a
basic type instead of another named type.
for issue #161 by RobSlgm, thanks for reporting!
- keep them on the right side of the window (more important now that we can resize)
- merge the close & cancel buttons into a close button, with a popup asking what to do for changes not saved as draft.
- the error wasn't caught because the parseInt() call wasn't evaluated inside the promise.
- we no longer require that the input (e.g. 2G) is the same as how we would format it (2g).
- tooltips and error message should now steer people to using these units.
feedback from pmarini-nc in #115, thanks!
this started with looking into the dark mode of PR #163 by mattfbacon. it's a
very good solution, especially for the amount of code. while looking into dark
mode, some common problems with inverting colors are:
- box-shadow start "glowing" which isn't great. likewise, semitransparent
layers would become brighter, not darker.
- while popups/overlays in light mode just stay the same white, in dark mode
they should become lighter than the regular content because box shadows don't
give enough contrast in dark mode.
while looking at adding explicit styles for dark mode, it turns out that's
easier when we work more with css rules/classes instead of inline styles (so we
can use the @media rule).
so we now also create css rules instead of working with inline styles a lot.
benefits:
- creating css rules is useful for items that repeat. they'll have a single css
class. changing a style on a css class is now reflected in all elements of that
kind (with that class)
- css class names are helpful when inspecting the DOM while developing: they
typically describe the function of the element.
most css classes are defined near where they are used, often while making the
element using the class (the css rule is created on first use).
this changes moves colors used for styling to a single place in webmail/lib.ts.
each property can get two values: one for regular/light mode, one for dark mode.
that should prevent forgetting one of them and makes it easy to configure both.
this change sets colors for the dark mode. i think the popups look better than
in PR #163, but in other ways it may be worse. this is a start, we can tweak
the styling.
if we can reduce the number of needed colors some more, we could make them
configurable in the webmail settings in the future. so this is also a step
towards making the ui looks configurable as discussed in issue #107.
store/threads_test.go opens an account, starts the threading upgrade, waits for
it to finish, runs some tests, and closes the account at the end, verifying all
references are gone. the "thread upgrade" goroutine has its own account
reference. it closes its account after having signaled completion of the
upgrade. in between that time, all checks from the tests could run, its account
closed and its no-more-account-references check would fail. the fix is
hopefully to mark the thread upgrade process finished after closing the
account. hard to verify, but this only happens very rarely.
it's the responsibility of the sender to use unique fromid's.
we do check if that's the case, and return an error if not.
also make it more clear that "unique smtp mail from addresses" map to the
"FromIDLoginAddresses" account config field.
based on feedback from cuu508 for #31, thanks!
unless the address is the last member, then the admin must either remove the
alias first, or add new members. we don't want to accidentally remove an alias
address.
in the admin page for removing addresses, we warn the admin that the address
will be removed from any aliases.
before, the smtpserver that queued a dsn would set an empty senderaccount,
which was interpreted in a few places as the globally configured postmaster
cacount. the empty senderaccount would be used by the smtpserver that queued a
dsn with null return path. we now set the postmaster account when we add a
message to the queue. more code in the queue pretty much needs a non-empty
senderaccount, such as the filters when listing, and the suppression list.
since email addresses can contain multiple consecutive spaces.
this is a valid address: " "@localhost
and this is a different valid address: " "@localhost
webmail still todo
the members must currently all be addresses of local accounts.
a message sent to an alias is accepted if at least one of the members accepts
it. if no members accepts it (e.g. due to bad reputation of sender), the
message is rejected.
if a message is submitted to both an alias addresses and to recipients that are
members of the alias in an smtp transaction, the message will be delivered to
such members only once. the same applies if the address in the message
from-header is the address of a member: that member won't receive the message
(they sent it). this prevents duplicate messages.
aliases have three configuration options:
- PostPublic: whether anyone can send through the alias, or only members.
members-only lists can be useful inside organizations for internal
communication. public lists can be useful for support addresses.
- ListMembers: whether members can see the addresses of other members. this can
be seen in the account web interface. in the future, we could export this in
other ways, so clients can expand the list.
- AllowMsgFrom: whether messages can be sent through the alias with the alias
address used in the message from-header. the webmail knows it can use that
address, and will use it as from-address when replying to a message sent to
that address.
ideas for the future:
- allow external addresses as members. still with some restrictions, such as
requiring a valid dkim-signature so delivery has a chance to succeed. will
also need configuration of an admin that can receive any bounces.
- allow specifying specific members who can sent through the list (instead of
all members).

thanks to damir & marin from sartura for discussing requirements/features.
instead of skipping on any smtp and delivering messages to accounts.
we dial the ip of the smtp listener, which is localhost:1025 by default.
the smtp server now uses a mock dns resolver during spf & dkim verification for
hosted domains (localhost by default), so they should pass.
the advantage is that we get regular full smtp server behaviour for delivering
in localserve, including webhooks, and potential first-time sender delays
(though this is disabled by default now).
incoming deliveries now go through normal address resolution, where before we
would always deliver to mox@localhost. we still accept email for unknown
recipients to mox@localhost.
this will be useful upcoming alias/list functionality.
localserve will now generate a dkim key when creating a new config. existing
users may wish to reset (remove) their localserve directory, or add a dkim key.
per mailbox, or for all mailboxes, in maildir/mbox format, in tar/tgz/zip
archive or without archive format for single mbox, single or recursive. the
webaccount already had an option to export all mailboxes, it now looks similar
to the webmail version.
if the message has a list-id header, we assume this is a (mailing) list
message, and we require a dkim/spf-verified domain (we prefer the shortest that
is a suffix of the list-id value). the rule we would add will mark such
messages as from a mailing list, changing filtering rules on incoming messages
(not enforcing dmarc policies). messages will be matched on list-id header and
will only match if they have the same dkim/spf-verified domain.
if the message doesn't have a list-id header, we'll ask to match based on
"message from" address.
we don't ask the user in several cases:
- if the destination/source mailbox is a special-use mailbox (e.g.
trash,archive,sent,junk; inbox isn't included)
- if the rule already exist (no point in adding it again).
- if the user said "no, not for this list-id/from-address" in the past.
- if the user said "no, not for messages moved to this mailbox" in the past.
we'll add the rule if the message was moved out of the inbox.
if the message was moved to the inbox, we check if there is a matching rule
that we can remove.
we now remember the "no" answers (for list-id, msg-from-addr and mailbox) in
the account database.
to implement the msgfrom rules, this adds support to rulesets for matching on
message "from" address. before, we could match on smtp from address (and other
fields). rulesets now also have a field for comments. webmail adds a note that
it created the rule, with the date.
manual editing of the rulesets is still in the webaccount page. this webmail
functionality is just a convenient way to add/remove common rules.
in top-left direction. keep textarea filling the height.
remember size in localstorage, only apply either width and/or height when
viewport width/height was the same as when the remembered width/height was set
(independently).
no visual indicator other than a cursor indicating resizability.
the regular send shortcut is control+Enter. the shift enables "archive thread".
there is no configuration option, you'll always get the button, but only for
reply/forward, not for new compose.
we may do "send and move thread to thrash", but let's wait until people want it.
