// Package subjectpass implements a mechanism for reject an incoming message with a challenge to include a token in a next delivery attempt. // // An SMTP server can reject a message with instructions to send another // message, this time including a special token. The sender will receive a DSN, // which will include the error message with instructions. By sending the // message again with the token, as instructed, the SMTP server can recognize // the token, verify it, and accept the message. package subjectpass import ( "crypto/hmac" "crypto/sha256" "encoding/base64" "errors" "fmt" "io" "log/slog" "strings" "time" "github.com/mjl-/mox/dns" "github.com/mjl-/mox/message" "github.com/mjl-/mox/mlog" "github.com/mjl-/mox/smtp" "github.com/mjl-/mox/stub" ) var ( MetricGenerate stub.Counter = stub.CounterIgnore{} MetricVerify stub.CounterVec = stub.CounterVecIgnore{} ) var ( ErrMessage = errors.New("subjectpass: malformed message") ErrAbsent = errors.New("subjectpass: no token found") ErrFrom = errors.New("subjectpass: bad From") ErrInvalid = errors.New("subjectpass: malformed token") ErrVerify = errors.New("subjectpass: verification failed") ErrExpired = errors.New("subjectpass: token expired") ) var Explanation = "Your message resembles spam.
