Initialize store and switchboard first, then open account, and close in reverse
order.
Replace all "CheckClosed" calls with "WaitClosed", future changings will keep
an account reference open for a bit after the last regular close, so we can't
know that an account should be closed during tests.
Remove one parameter from the (still too long) "start test server" function in
imapserver testing code.
We weren't appending the individual changes to the slice, but the entire slice.
Since "Change" is an "any", this isn't a type error. So make a Change a
non-empty interface (I had seen an issue like this coming, should have made it
an interface then, at least now we have a reasonable method, to get the modseq
of a change).
Found while working on an imap webpush prototype.
Doesn't seem like it's a common thing to do. And it's just a bit risky, it's
too easy to forget to clear some part of the authentication state on a
connection (especially future changes that forget to update clear a new field
during unauthenticate). If a strong use case ever pops up, we can reconsider.
Also update the roadmap a bit.
And merge the duplicate list of capabilities. We had each on a line for
cross-referencing with the RFC, and all capabilities again but on a single line
to use in the server greeting. Now it's just one list.
Since a recent change (likely since implementing MULTIAPPEND), the temporary
files weren't removed any more. When changing it, I must have had the wrong
mental model about the MessageAdd method, assuming it would remove the temp
file.
Noticed during tests.
Erasing a message (removing the message file from the file system) was made a
separate step a few days ago. The verifydata command checks for consistency of
the data, but didn't correctly skip checking expunged-but-not-yet-erased
messages, leading to the warning.
A similar consistency check in store/account.go does check for that.
I was warned by my nightly backup+veridata script.
In case the precis check failed, our return of a nil account cleared acc, and
we were then trying to close it, returning in a nil pointer dereference.
Rewrite the return statements so we don't overwrite the named return variables.
Especially relevant when the name contains a comma, e.g. "lastname, firstname".
Or when it contains parentheses, e.g. "(organization)".
When sending to an address with a comma that isn't quoted, we would actually
interpret it as two addresses: One without an "@" before the comma, and the
second part after the comma with half of the name and the email addrss. This
resulted in an error message.
When sending to a recipient with unquoted parentheses in the name, those
parentheses would be interpreted as an generic email header comment, and left
out.

The original config option stays, and we still use it for the common case where
we have a single separator. The "+" is configured by default. It is optional,
just like the new option "LocalpartCatchallSeparators" (plural).
When parsing the config file, we combine LocalpartCatchallSeparator and
LocalpartCatchallSeparators into a single list
LocalpartCatchallSeparatorsEffective, which we use throughout the code.

Mox does not look up names from the /etc/hosts file, only through DNS. But
"localhost" may not resolve through DNS, or when offline a DNS server may not
even be available. We will want deliveries to work in "mox localserve" mode.

We'll need RSA DKIM keys for a long time to come because many systems don't
support ed25519 DKIM signatures. We've been adding both types of keys when
adding a new domain, and adding both two DKIM signatures to outgoing messages.
This works fine in practice, other mail servers are correctly ignoring the
ed25519 signature if they don't understand it. Unfortunately, it causess noise
in DMARC reports: Systems will warn that a DKIM check failed. Sometimes with a
vague message about a missing key, or a 0-bit key. Sometimes they leave the
selector out of the report, making it hard to understand what's going on. This
causes postmasters to investigate because they think something is wrong, only
to eventually find out it's all fine. So we're causing needless chores for
postmasters. By having only an RSA DKIM signature, we skip that noise. This
also reduces the number of DNS records postmasters have to add for a domain.
The small ed25519 DKIM DNS TXT records would make them preferrable over the
long multi-string RSA DKIM DNS TXT records (which are often hard to add
correctly through DNS operator web interfaces), but as mentioned, we'll have to
add the RSA DKIM keys anyway.
Another reason why RSA keys _may_ be preferrable over ed25519 keys is that with
RSA, signing is more computationally expensive than verifying, while it's the
other way around for ed25519 keys.
Admins can always add an ed25519 DKIM key to their domain. And we can always
switch back to adding them to new domains by default in the future.
For issue #299.
Just to be cautious. This hasn't happened yet in practice that I'm aware of.
But in theory, mox could crash after it has written the message file during
delivery, but before the database transaction was committed. In that case, a
message file for the "next message id" is already present. Any future delivery
attempts will get assigned the same message id by the database, but writing the
file will fail because there already is one, causing delivery to fail (until
the file is moved away).
When opening an account, we now check in the file system if newer files exist
than we expect based on the last existing message in the database. If so, we
adjust the message ID the database will assign next.
It still blocks on reading partial flushes from clients, preventing progress
and eventually timing out. The flate library needs more changes to make this
work.
Connections from iOS mail sometimes timed out, not always.
The extension is simply not announced, code is still present.
The Open call returns an errno ENAMETOOLONG. We didn't handle that specially,
so turned it into a "500 internal server error" response. When serving static
files, we should just return "404 file not found" errors. The file obviously
does not exist.
Saw a few overlong requests from bad bots not recognizing "data:" uri's inlined
in html files, trying to request them.
Broken since introducing LoginAttempts. The fuzzing functions didn't get the
store.Init() call, and would hang on trying to send to the loginattemptwriter.
Keeping the message files around, and the message details in the database, is
useful for IMAP sessions that haven't seen/processed the removal of a message
yet and try to fetch it. Before, we would return errors. Similarly, a session
that has a mailbox selected that is removed can (at least in theory) still read
messages.
The mechanics to do this need keeping removed mailboxes around too. JMAP needs
that anyway, so we now keep modseq/createseq/expunged history for mailboxes
too. And while we're at it, for annotations as well.
For future JMAP support, we now also keep the mailbox parent id around for a
mailbox, with an upgrade step to set the field for existing mailboxes and
fixing up potential missing parents (which could possibly have happened in an
obscure corner case that I doubt anyone ran into).
We normally recover from those situations, printing stack traces instead of
crashing the program. But during tests, we're not looking at the prometheus
metrics or all the output. Without these checks, such panics could go
unnoticed. Seems like a reasonable thing to add, unhandled panics haven't been
encountered in tests.
DeliverMessage() is now MessageAdd(), and it takes a Mailbox object that it
modifies but doesn't write to the database (the caller must do it, and plenty
of times can do it more efficiently by doing it once for multiple messages).
The new AddOpts let the caller influence how many checks and how much of the
work MessageAdd() does. The zero-value AddOpts enable all checks and all the
work, but callers can take responsibility of some of the checks/work if it can
do it more efficiently itself.
This simplifies the code in most places, and makes it more efficient. The
checks to update per-mailbox keywords is a bit simpler too now.
We are also more careful to close the junk filter without saving it in case of
errors.
Still part of more upcoming changes.
In the common case, it's the same as the previous delivery. That means we don't
have to try to create the directory (fewer syscalls) and that we can sync the
dir to disk.
This also tweaks the defer handling in case of a late failure.
We effectively held the account write-locked by using a writable transaction
while processing the FETCH command. We did this because we may have to update
\Seen flags, for non-PEEK attribute fetches. This meant other FETCHes would
block, and other write access to the account too.
We now read the messages in a read-only transaction. We gather messages that
need marking as \Seen, and make that change in one (much shorter) database
transaction at the end of the FETCH command.
In practice, it doesn't seem too sensible to mark messages as seen
automatically. Most clients probably use the PEEK-variant of attribute fetches.
Related to issue #128.
The previous commit fixed an array out of bounds access that resulted in a
panic on an smtpserver connection. The panic is recovered and marked as
"unhandled panic" in metrics and the connection closed.
Fix up a test or two. Simplify the XOR logic when we train the junk filter:
Only if junk or nonjunk is set, but not when both (or none are set). i.e. when
the values aren't the same.
Locking the account when we do consistency checks prevents spurious test
failures that may have been introduced in the previous commit.
