jcoffey-dev is traveling from Thursday 1 October through Sunday 4 October. Issues and pull requests are welcome, and will get an answer after that. Thanks for your patience.
Personal-data catalog spec, §7 (settled 2026-09-28).
sysComplianceGet (673) sees the data inventory and compliance
overview: superusers and, for their tenant's slice, tenant
administrators, by default and through the one-time grants on servers
that already have their roles stored.
A Compliance Officer role at server level holds it with reading and
exporting the audit log, placing, widening, releasing and exporting
legal holds, seeing account locks, and reading accounts, lists,
domains, tenants and roles. It changes no server setting, creates or
deletes no account, and can't shorten audit retention.
A tenant's accounts can hold only roles of their own tenant (MT-3), so
the tenant role is one "Compliance Officer" role per tenant, without
holds (LH-13): made once for every tenant a server has, and whenever a
tenant is created. While nobody holds it, it is removed with its tenant
so it doesn't block the delete, and put back if the delete is refused
for another reason. Both roles carry a user's own permissions too,
since roles given to a person replace the default user role, which a
tenant's accounts can't hold anyway.
Every server makes these once, new or existing -- the built-in roles
are only made on a server with none -- and records each under P c, so a
role an administrator deletes stays deleted.
Tested: unit tests (neither role changes a setting beyond a user's
own; holds for the server's officer only; per-place records); a new
compliance system test (one server-level role; an officer reads the
audit log, places and releases a hold, and is refused a setting, an
account and audit retention; a tenant gets its role, whose holder reads
the tenant's audit log and no holds; a tenant with an unused role is
deleted and the role goes with it); the system, audit, legal hold,
account lock and SCIM suites; fork checks. The directory suite needs
its LDAP container and wasn't run here.
A new method, inbuxa:Explanation/set, asks the node's local model for a
short plain-words reading of one thing an administrator is looking at:
a failed recipient in the queue, a Classify verdict, a log line or trace
event, or one setting with its saved value. The server builds the prompt
itself from stored data and the registry schema, never from text the
console sends, and grounds SMTP replies in RFC 3463 and RFC 5321.
What the model is never shown: secrets (including ones nested inside a
setting, like an AI model's HTTP auth), raw protocol events, and the
contents of any other event. A tag name that doesn't have a tag's shape is
refused before a model is asked.
Calls share the AI gate with spam classification, but mail always keeps
its slot, and Explain has its own hourly count per account and its own
on/off switch in inbuxa:AiLimits. The permission is sysAiExplain,
superuser only; tenant administrators can't use it. The session carries
an aiExplain flag so a console knows when to offer the button.
An install whose roles were stored before the permission existed gets it
added once, at start-up, to the roles that are administrators' alone,
not the User role their defaults share with every account. An operator
who removes it later isn't overruled.
Tests: unit tests in inbuxa-features and jmap, and ai_explain_tests
(run with --ignored) covering the acceptance tests and the upgrade.
The server fetched upstream's latest published rules from GitHub at run
time: a version nobody here tested, code-like expressions from an account
we don't control, and the upstream name as a default in the admin form.
The published rules of spam-filter v3.0.2 are now embedded
(resources/spam-filter/, MIT, in THIRD-PARTY.md) and used whenever no other
source is configured. An empty setting and upstream's old default both mean
the bundled rules, so existing installs switch without a settings change;
the URL stays an operator override (https:// or file://). The schema default
is dropped and its description says what empty means, and the strip's
rename pass does the same to each import.
Rules load on first boot as before, and again whenever the bundled version
differs from the last one loaded, which only adds missing rules and tags.
That brings the AI classifier's LLM_* scores to installs that predate them:
production has none today.
upstream-watch now also opens an issue when spam-filter publishes a newer
release; resources/spam-filter/README.md says how to take it.
The antispam test now runs on the bundled rules, the path production
takes; SPAM_RULES_URL tests another set. Unit tests cover the URL handling
and that the bundled rules parse and score the AI tags as the AI spec says.
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.
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.
