this doesn't really test the output of the ctl commands, just that they succeed
without error. better than nothing...
testing found two small bugs, that are not an issue in practice:
1. we were ack'ing streamed data from the other side of the ctl connection
before having read it. when there is no buffer space on the connection (always
the case for net.Pipe) that would cause a deadlock. only actually happened
during the new tests.
2. the generated dkim keys are relatively to the directory of the dynamic
config file. mox looked it up relative to the directory of the _static_ config
file at startup. this directory is typicaly the same. users would have noticed
if they had triggered this.
with tls with acme (with pebble, a small acme server for testing), and with
pregenerated keys/certs.
the two mox instances are configured on their own domain. we launch a separate
test container that connects to the first, submits a message for delivery to
the second. we check if the message is delivered with an imap connection and
the idle command.
by specifying a "destination" in an account that is just "@" followed by the
domain, e.g. "@example.org". messages are only delivered to the catchall
address when no regular destination matches (taking the per-domain
catchall-separator and case-sensisitivity into account).
for issue #18
by default 1000 messages per day, and to max 200 first-time receivers.
i don't think a person would reach those limits. a compromised account abused
by spammers could easily reach that limit. this prevents further damage.
the error message you will get is quite clear, pointing to the configuration
parameter that should be changed.
makes it easier to run on bsd's, where you cannot (easily?) let non-root users
bind to ports <1024. starting as root also paves the way for future improvements
with privilege separation.
unfortunately, this requires changes to how you start mox. though mox will help
by automatically fix up dir/file permissions/ownership.
if you start mox from the systemd unit file, you should update it so it starts
as root and adds a few additional capabilities:
# first update the mox binary, then, as root:
./mox config printservice >mox.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart mox
journalctl -f -u mox &
# you should see mox start up, with messages about fixing permissions on dirs/files.
if you used the recommended config/ and data/ directory, in a directory just for
mox, and with the mox user called "mox", this should be enough.
if you don't want mox to modify dir/file permissions, set "NoFixPermissions:
true" in mox.conf.
if you named the mox user something else than mox, e.g. "_mox", add "User: _mox"
to mox.conf.
if you created a shared service user as originally suggested, you may want to
get rid of that as it is no longer useful and may get in the way. e.g. if you
had /home/service/mox with a "service" user, that service user can no longer
access any files: only mox and root can.
this also adds scripts for building mox docker images for alpine-supported
platforms.
the "restart" subcommand has been removed. it wasn't all that useful and got in
the way.
and another change: when adding a domain while mtasts isn't enabled, don't add
the per-domain mtasts config, as it would cause failure to add the domain.
based on report from setting up mox on openbsd from mteege.
and based on issue #3. thanks for the feedback!
