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.
the vendored dns resolver code is a copy of the go stdlib dns resolver, with
awareness of the "authentic data" (i.e. dnssec secure) added, as well as support
for enhanced dns errors, and looking up tlsa records (for dane). ideally it
would be upstreamed, but the chances seem slim.
dnssec-awareness is added to all packages, e.g. spf, dkim, dmarc, iprev. their
dnssec status is added to the Received message headers for incoming email.
but the main reason to add dnssec was for implementing dane. with dane, the
verification of tls certificates can be done through certificates/public keys
published in dns (in the tlsa records). this only makes sense (is trustworthy)
if those dns records can be verified to be authentic.
mox now applies dane to delivering messages over smtp. mox already implemented
mta-sts for webpki/pkix-verification of certificates against the (large) pool
of CA's, and still enforces those policies when present. but it now also checks
for dane records, and will verify those if present. if dane and mta-sts are
both absent, the regular opportunistic tls with starttls is still done. and the
fallback to plaintext is also still done.
mox also makes it easy to setup dane for incoming deliveries, so other servers
can deliver with dane tls certificate verification. the quickstart now
generates private keys that are used when requesting certificates with acme.
the private keys are pre-generated because they must be static and known during
setup, because their public keys must be published in tlsa records in dns.
autocert would generate private keys on its own, so had to be forked to add the
option to provide the private key when requesting a new certificate. hopefully
upstream will accept the change and we can drop the fork.
with this change, using the quickstart to setup a new mox instance, the checks
at internet.nl result in a 100% score, provided the domain is dnssec-signed and
the network doesn't have any issues.
for issue #71 reported by naturalethic, thanks!
users upgrading from v0.0.6 to v0.0.7 could run into this. the release notes
have been updated with a link to the issue. the issue will stay open until at
least the next release.
in verifydata, when warning about missing threading, print the db file.
otherwise it isn't clear which account this is about
when upgrading account thread storage, pass the logger that has the account
name.
even if not asked for with the "return (special-use)" extended list parameter.
macos x mail does not request the special-use flags, but will use them when present.
for issue #66, thanks x8x for providing the imap protocol transcript that
showed how it is done!
because with the name you would expect an account name.
and the email-resolving behaviour is surprising: with wildcard addresses you
can use any address, including a typo. you would change the password of the
address with the wildcard, without any warning. accounts are more precise and
less error-prone.
for issue #68 by x8x
we set the flag both for move in imap and in webmail.
this also ensures the "MailboxDestinedID", used for per-mailbox reputation
analysis, is set in more reject-situations. before this change, some rejects
(such as based on DMARC reject) wouldn't result in reputation being used after
having been moved the message out of the rejects mailbox.
in the future, we need more tests for scenario's like this...
for issue #63 reported by x8x
may also help with issue #64
removing an item from the selected list should be done regardless of focus,
i.e. the code snippet shouldn't have been behind the "if (focus...)" condition.
for the path from v0.0.5 with lots of messages straight to the latest
development version. this can do multiple database changes in one go, so it's a
bit different than for installs where an admin has upgraded each version when
it was released.
we want to user to submit the stack trace. user can still edit before
submitting, but it won't look attractive to submit stacktraces with info that
shouldn't be there. not great that firefox is including too much info and the
effort we need to make to get it out again, but well.
