the smtp extension, rfc 4865.
also implement in the webmail.
the queueing/delivery part hardly required changes: we just set the first
delivery time in the future instead of immediately.
still have to find the first client that implements it.
to start composing a message.
the help popup now has a button to register the "mailto:" links with the mox
webmail (typically only works over https, not all browsers support it).
the mailto links are specified in 6068. we support the to/cc/bcc/subject/body
parameters. other parameters should be seen as custom headers, but we don't
support messages with custom headers at all at the moment, so we ignore them.
we now also turn text of the form "mailto:user@host" into a clickable link
(will not be too common). we could be recognizing any "x@x.x" as email address
and make them clickable in the future.
thanks to Hans-Jörg for explaining this functionality.
most content is in markdown files in website/, some is taken out of the repo
README and rfc/index.txt. a Go file generates html. static files are kept in a
separate repo due to size.
to get the security benefits (detecting mitm attempts), explicitly configure
clients to use a scram plus variant, e.g. scram-sha-256-plus. unfortunately,
not many clients support it yet.
imapserver scram plus support seems to work with the latest imtest (imap test
client) from cyrus-sasl. no success yet with mutt (with gsasl) though.
should prevent potential mitm attacks. especially when done close to the
machine itself (where a http/tls challenge is intercepted to get a valid
certificate), as seen on the internet last month.
- the rfc links back to the code now show any "todo" text that appears in the
code. helps when looking at an rfc to find any work that may need to be done.
- html pages can now be generated to view code and rfc's side by side. clicking
on links in one side opens the linked document in the other page, at the
correct line number.
i'll be publishing the "dev" html version (latest commit on main branch) on the
mox website, updated with each commit. the dev pages will also link to the
latest released version.
