Everything clients, users and operators meet now carries the fork's name,
with no aliases (SPEC.md §2.4, changed here from "protocol identifiers
stay"):
- JMAP: upstream's registry capability is urn:inbuxa:jmap:registry, beside
the fork's own urn:inbuxa:jmap.
- WebDAV lock and sync tokens are urn:inbuxa:dav*; clients resync once.
- Sieve: vnd.inbuxa.while and vnd.inbuxa.expressions. sieve-rs spells these
into its compiler, so it's vendored (vendor/sieve-rs, 0.7.3) and patched in;
a unit test fails if Cargo.lock ever moves past the vendored copy. The
trusted runtime now names itself too, rather than answering sieve-rs's
default.
- The web interface's OAuth client is inbuxa-webui. On every start the old
stalwart-webui client is removed and any application naming it is moved
over.
- The spam filter's blobs are INBUXA_SPAM_*; every start moves any left
under the old keys, so a trained model survives.
- SQL stores and log files default to inbuxa, in the code and in the
schema served to the admin (checksum regenerated).
- Settings are INBUXA_* only. A STALWART_* variable that's set where its
INBUXA_* one isn't stops the server at startup, naming it.
- The version-upgrade messages link docs.inbuxa.org's migration page, and
the OpenAPI description, smtp crate metadata and web-push test fixtures
lose the name.
Kept on purpose, allowlisted with reasons: the OAuth key-derivation
contexts (renaming them would end every session and invalidate every
sealed client id) and the hashed application prefix.
Also fixes a latent start-up failure: ensure_client updated an existing
first-party client with a revision of 0, which the registry's assertion
never matches, so adding a redirect URI or changing the webmail secret
failed start-up. And the principal session test now expects
legacyProtocols (C-1, added 2026-09-21), which it had missed.
Tested: the server builds without warnings; common's 106 unit tests,
including the vendoring check; a new integration test for the two
start-up migrations; and the webdav, jmap, imap and SMTP Sieve suites.
These upstream files were changed after the fork marked the files it had
modified, and never got the notice: six by the listener and schema-cache
work on 2026-09-20, two by the name check. Found by diffing against the
upstream snapshot branch, as before.
Five conflicts, resolved:
- crates/common/src/auth/authentication.rs: upstream's get_directory_for_token
and JwtClaims replace extract_jwt_domain; the per-domain directory code
(DIR-1, DIR-5 to DIR-7) is kept, and the token lookup routes through it.
The release's one new Enterprise snippet was the body of
get_directory_for_issuer, which stays returning None: a token naming no
address gets the server default, as DIR-2 specifies and as v0.16.22 did.
- crates/common/src/manager/application.rs: upstream's rewrite of the tests,
with the temp directory names renamed again, and the 5(a) notice the
name-purge change should have added.
- crates/common/src/network/mta.rs: both sides' imports.
- crates/main/Cargo.toml: the AGPL-only license kept, version 0.16.23.
- Cargo.lock: upstream's, with the fork's crates added by Cargo.
tools/fork/name-check.py reads every string literal in crates/ (comments
and test directories skipped) and fails on any that carries the upstream
name without an entry in name-allowlist.txt. An upstream merge can bring
such strings in without a conflict, so it runs on every push and PR.
The first run found three the earlier sweeps missed, fixed here: the SMTP
HELP reply pointed at upstream's website (now brand_url!), the event
collector thread was named after upstream, and the FreeBSD default data
path still said /var/db/stalwart/ where Linux already had /var/lib/inbuxa/.
Two operator-visible defaults are allowlisted as open, pending a decision:
the log file prefix and the SQL stores' default database and user.
The impact panel's data. Every successful sign-in over IMAP, POP3,
ManageSieve or SMTP AUTH records, per account and per protocol, one
timestamp -- nothing else: no address, no IP, no client. It is written at
most once an hour per account and protocol, so a mail app polling every
minute costs a read per sign-in and a write an hour. A record that can't be
written is logged and the sign-in goes ahead.
Both switches serve it as a read-only property, recentLegacyUse, as
wouldClose serves the confirmation: a list of {accountId, name, protocol,
lastUsedAt} for sign-ins in the last 30 days, most recent first.
inbuxa:ProtocolPolicy lists every account; inbuxa:TenantProtocolPolicy
lists only its tenant's own (MT-1). Accounts since deleted are left out. It
is computed only when the property is asked for.
The recording sits where the tenant check already runs once the account is
known, which becomes admit_legacy_session: refuse if the account's tenant
has legacy protocols off, otherwise record. A refused sign-in is never
recorded.
The spec leaves the interface to the implementation; a property on each
switch keeps the panel's data behind the same permission as the switch
itself, with no new object.
Unit tests hold the 30-day window to acceptance test 11 (three days ago
listed, forty not), the hourly throttle and the keys. The e2e proves on a
running server that the admin's IMAP and submission sign-ins are listed
with their time, that a second sign-in within the hour isn't written again,
and that a tenant's list holds its own user and nobody outside the tenant.
All 70 checks pass.
The tenant switch. A tenant's administrator turns legacy mail protocols
off for its own tenant, and from then on sign-in over IMAP, POP3,
ManageSieve and SMTP AUTH is refused for every address on the tenant's
domains, while every other domain on the server carries on. No port
closes, since other tenants share them (LP-13): it is one stored fact per
tenant, read at sign-in and when client configuration is answered.
inbuxa:TenantProtocolPolicy/get and /set, one per tenant, id the tenant's:
- Inside a tenant, a principal reaches only its own tenant's switch
(MT-1): /get with no ids answers with it, another tenant's is notFound
and can't be changed. At server level /get with no ids lists every
tenant's.
- Turning it off is always allowed. Turning it back on is refused with
forbidden, naming inbuxa:ProtocolPolicy, while the server has legacy
protocols off (LP-9).
- A change raises security.legacy-protocols-changed with policy = tenant,
the tenant's id, the new value and who made it (LP-14).
- It takes sysDomainGet and sysDomainUpdate, not the two new permissions
the spec names. The switch governs sign-in on the tenant's domains, so
whoever manages those domains may turn it -- and the default Tenant
Administrator role already holds both, where new permissions would reach
no role already stored on a server (MT-12's note), leaving today's
tenant administrators without the switch until someone edited their
role by hand. The same trade inbuxa:AiLimits and inbuxa:ProtocolPolicy
made. /query is not built yet; /get with no ids covers listing.
Sign-in (LP-10 to LP-12). Before the credentials are looked at, the name
given is resolved to its domain and the domain to its tenant, so a real
account and a made-up address on the domain get the same refusal, with a
right password or a wrong one, counted as no failed sign-in (LP-11). The
words are the spec's: "Your organization allows only INBUXA webmail and
JMAP apps...", in each protocol's form. A bearer token needn't name an
account, so after authentication the account's own tenant is checked too;
a token that named nobody can't slip past.
The refusal carries policy = tenant and the domain, not the tenant's id:
IMAP answers a command's tag from the Id key, so an error holding one was
sent under the wrong tag and the mail app hung waiting for its reply. The
first live run found that; a unit test now holds the refusal to it.
Client configuration (LP-14a). Autoconfig, autodiscover, PACC and the
suggested DNS records now ask whether legacy services are off for the
domain being answered for -- the server's switch, or the domain's
tenant's -- so a tenant's domains stop offering IMAP, POP3 and
submission while others still do.
tests/e2e/legacy_protocols.py builds a tenant with its own domain, a user
and a tenant administrator, and a second tenant, and proves on a running
server: the admin sees and changes only its own tenant's switch (test 10);
turning it off is an event (test 14); the tenant's user is refused over
IMAP with the right password and a wrong one, a made-up address on the
domain the same (tests 6, 7); POP3 and submission refuse in their own
forms and JMAP still works (test 8); an account on another domain signs in
normally (test 6); autoconfig drops IMAP for the tenant's domain only; with
the server off, the tenant can't turn it back on (test 9); and once back
on, the user signs in again. All 62 checks pass.
The second lock. While legacy mail protocols are off, a sign-in over IMAP,
POP3, ManageSieve or SMTP AUTH is refused for every account, so a listener
that exists by mistake -- or submission, which the SMTP lock keeps open --
still lets nobody in.
The check sits at the top of each protocol's sign-in, before the
credentials are looked at. So the answer is the same for a right password,
a wrong one and an account that doesn't exist; it isn't auth.failed, so it
counts nothing against the account and never feeds the auto-ban; and the
session stays open, since the mail app is being told, not thrown off.
Mail apps read the spec's words (LP-12, at server scope):
IMAP NO [ALERT] This server allows only INBUXA webmail and JMAP
apps. This mail app can't sign in.
POP3 -ERR [AUTH] ...the same...
ManageSieve NO "This server allows only INBUXA webmail and JMAP apps."
SMTP 535 5.7.0 This server allows only INBUXA webmail and JMAP
apps. This mail app can't send.
SMTP AUTH is refused on every SMTP listener, port 25 included: only mail
apps authenticate, so inbound delivery is untouched. LMTP is left alone.
The policy is read from the store on each sign-in rather than cached, so
every node of a cluster answers the same the moment the switch turns.
Each refusal raises a new event, auth.legacy-protocol-refused (id 642, info
level, also in the packaged schema), with the protocol as source, the
policy's scope and the domain -- never the account. The session adds the
listener and remote IP.
tests/e2e/legacy_protocols.py now also proves, on a running server: a
normal IMAP and submission sign-in works with the switch on, before and
after; while off, submission refuses the right password and six wrong ones
with the same words and without hanging up; and an IMAP listener created by
mistake while off refuses the right password, a wrong one and an account
that doesn't exist. All 33 checks pass. SMTP sign-ins in the script wait
out a second first: every connection arrives from Docker's gateway, and the
stock inbound throttle takes five a second from one IP.
The AGPL asks a modified version to carry prominent notices saying it was
modified, and giving a date. Publishing the source is the conveyance that
asks for it, so it wants doing before the repository is public rather than
at the release.
Every upstream file the fork changed now says so in its header, beneath the
notice it came with: 164 files, found by diffing against the upstream
snapshot branch rather than by guessing, so the list is what actually
differs. Files the fork wrote itself already carry their own copyright and
need nothing. Upstream's notices are untouched, which its licence requires
and which was already true.
The README says the same thing in prose, since the obligation is on the
work as a whole and not only its Rust files.
Builds unchanged: the server and the test binary both compile.
A FETCH with CHANGEDSINCE presents its mod-sequence to the read scope, so
a replica must have that change before it answers, as a JMAP sinceState
already did. replica_cluster_tests covers test 11: with the replica's
replay paused, a write on one node is read back through a second store
with its own marks, sharing through Redis.
Composite stores nest store futures deeply enough to pass rustc's default
query depth once both postgres and redis are compiled in, so the server
crates raise their recursion limit.
The classifier sends only the subject and text, between unforgeable markers
after the operator's prompt, to an OpenAI-compatible endpoint the operator
configured; nothing is preset. Its answer maps to an LLM_ tag whose score is
clamped (+5.0, -1.0 by default) and can never discard or reject on its own;
X-Spam-LLM is sanitized, encoded and folded, and a planted one is removed.
Failures, timeouts past the ceiling, a full slot or a paused model leave
mail flowing untagged. llm_prompt answers trusted scripts, and accounts
holding interactAi within an hourly limit. Redirects aren't followed and no
content or secret is logged. The limits live in inbuxa:AiLimits.
Acceptance tests 1 and 3 to 21; test 2 as the re-enabled shared llm case,
whose setup no longer waits on a rules file from a developer's own path;
test 22 written as the ignored ai_compat.
- crates/main: package and [[bin]] renamed to inbuxa; homepage inbuxa.org;
license AGPL-3.0-only (upstream is dual; the fork takes the AGPL).
- types::branding::env_var reads INBUXA_<name>, falling back to
STALWART_<name> with a warning, for all nine server settings.
STALWART_APP_ and STALWART_SPAM_* storage keys are unchanged.
- New-install default paths /var/lib/inbuxa and /var/log/inbuxa.
- Dockerfiles, systemd unit, launchd plist and AppArmor profile renamed.
- Upstream's .github moved to .github-upstream so none of it runs.
- install.sh stubbed: upstream's would install Stalwart.
- Two missed brand strings: the SMTP Received header and the utils user agent.
One branding module (types::brand!) supplies the name to every protocol
greeting, the HTTP realm, the startup banner, Received headers, the
user agent, the IMAP ID response and calendar PRODIDs. The sign-in and
calendar pages take ihasmail's palette and font and the INBUXA logo, and
calendar emails embed the INBUXA lockup. Default calendar and address book
names follow. Protocol identifiers (urn:stalwart:jmap, vnd.stalwart Sieve
extensions) and upstream copyright notices are unchanged.
