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.
The hold action now holds (dlp-and-mail-flow-rules spec, §2.6), where
until now it blocked.
- At DATA a hold decision queues the message with its release a century
off (the queue's future-release mechanism, so the stored format is
unchanged and an older node just never sends it), transport rules
still applied, and replies 250 Held for review. A review record under
R/h + queue id keeps the sender, recipients, subject, size, rules and
detector counts. The sender is told when the rule asks.
- smtp/queue/held.rs: release (each recipient due now, its next notice
as far off as it was, its lifetime counted from the release), reject
(removed from the queue, the sender told, with the reviewer's note),
and expiry: the daily clean-up rejects what nobody reviewed in 7 days,
recorded as the server's doing.
- inbuxa:HeldMessage get/set: the review queue, sysDlpReviewGet to list
and read (preview, 64 KB of text, only when asked for and recorded as
blobAccess), sysDlpReviewUpdate to release or reject, a reason
required and audited by the request layer; no create or destroy;
server-level only.
- Guards: Emails > Queue refuses to change or delete held mail; the
sender can't unsend it.
- Privacy catalog entry for inbuxa:HeldMessage; spec §2.6 as built.
Tests: mail_rules_tests gains the whole flow (held and listed with
counts, sender notified and nothing delivered, queue and unsend
refused, preview recorded, reject needs a reason and tells the sender
the note, release delivers, expiry returns it, decisions audited with
reasons). smtp inbound, system_tests (after one BlobNotFound in
antispam, the known flake, then clean), features and common unit tests.
Phase 2f of the DLP and mail flow rules spec: the rules now run on mail
an authenticated sender submits, after the DATA system script and
before headers and DKIM signing (§2.1).
- smtp/inbound/mailflow.rs: builds what the rules look at from the
message (subject, the text version of each body, one level of attached
messages, attachment text via the extractor, 10 MB of text at most)
and the envelope (sender's groups and tenant; each recipient local or
not, and its groups). Skipped entirely when no enabled rule applies to
outgoing mail. Rules that can't be loaded refuse with a 451: nothing
unchecked leaves.
- Block: 550 5.7.1 with the rule's notice. Warn: 550 5.7.1 with the
notice and how to override: "[override: reason]" at the start of the
subject, taken out before the message goes on (settled answer 1).
Until phase 3, a hold rule blocks rather than let mail through.
- JMAP: EmailSubmission takes inbuxa:dlpOverride {reason}; a refusal
comes back as inbuxa:dlpWarning or inbuxa:dlpBlocked with each rule's
name and notice (description too, for older clients).
- Audit: one record per DLP match, the sender as actor, action create,
target a message: the recipient domains, each rule with its detectors'
counts, the outcome, an override's reason. Never the matched text. No
new audit action: an older node that meets one fails its daily
clean-up, which would make rolling back unsafe (spec §2.7 updated).
Tests: mail_rules_tests gains the DLP flow over JMAP (no rules, warning
with rule and notice, local recipient not warned, override with a
reason, block that no reason passes, the subject tag stripped from the
delivered message, audit records with no card or key text). smtp
inbound tests pass; system_tests passed twice after one timeout in the
email delivery tests that didn't recur.
Phase 2e of the DLP and mail flow rules spec, the API half.
- inbuxa:MailRule/get and /set under urn:inbuxa:jmap. Rules convert
through serde, so what a client sends is the stored format. A create
or change is validated whole (Rule::validate) and refused with the
property at fault; id, createdBy, createdAt and updatedAt are the
server's. Every change goes through the request layer's audit record.
- Six permissions, ids 674-679 (enum and schema labels): mail flow rules
(sysMailRuleGet/Update), DLP rules (sysDlpPolicyGet/Update) and held
mail (sysDlpReviewGet/Update, for phase 3). Either kind's permission
gets through the gate; the handler shows and changes each rule only
with its own kind's. All server-level: a tenant is refused (settled
answer 3).
- Administrators get all six; the server-level Compliance Officer gets
DLP rules to see and held mail to review (settled answer 4), added
once to an existing server's officer role by the grant mechanism,
which gains an officer audience.
- Privacy catalog entry for inbuxa:MailRule.
tests/src/system/mail_rules.rs: create, list in order, validation,
server-set properties refused, update, kind-separated permissions for
an officer, destroy, audit records.
POST /api/directory/test takes a saved directory's id, an address and
optionally a password, and answers whether the directory opened, what a
recipient lookup of the address finds (account or group, with its
aliases, groups and name), and whether the password signs in. A wrong
password is told apart from a directory that can't be reached or is set
up wrong.
It calls the directory itself, below the sign-in path: a test never
creates or updates an account, never counts toward the sign-in ban and
doesn't depend on which domains use the directory. A password hash a
directory returns is never sent back. OIDC directories report their
discovered issuer; they take no passwords.
For server-level administrators with directory update permission. The
console's guided directory setup uses it to test a real person before
any domain is switched over.
Personal-data catalog spec, §6 (Phase 3c).
inbuxa:DataInventory/get evaluates the catalog against the server's
live settings and says what this server holds: for each source and each
object that can hold personal data, its categories and whose data it
is, whether it is collected here at all, what bounds its retention (the
live value of the setting that does, or unbounded), whether it leaves
the host and to which endpoints, and a summary. Every host that
receives something is listed once as a candidate processor with what it
receives. Inside a tenant it answers with the tenant's slice and none
of the server's processors. Read-only, with sysComplianceGet.
inbuxa:InventorySnapshot/get is the history: a dated copy of the
evaluated inventory, recorded when it changes -- after a registry write
to an object the inventory reads, after inbuxa's log, audit or AI
settings change, and on the daily clean-up -- and kept as long as the
audit log's records. ids: null lists every snapshot, newest first; the
full inventory only when asked for.
The catalog is embedded and parsed at start (new dependency: toml,
MIT/Apache); the evaluation is a pure function of it and the live
facts, so each configuration is tested without a server. Loopback
endpoints stay on the host; any other configured endpoint leaves it.
Tested: unit tests for the evaluation (a new install's defaults, an
external blob store, a hosted AI endpoint, telemetry off, a tenant's
slice, hosts from URLs, loopback), snapshots, and the fact gathering's
store and duration rules; the compliance system test, extended (the
officer reads the inventory, a plain user is refused, a tenant's
officer sees its slice and no processors, a webhook to another host
becomes a processor and a snapshot names x:WebHook, a retention change
reads through); the system, audit, legal hold and account lock suites;
fork checks. The system suite failed once of three runs with an email
import's blob not found, in antispam.rs; the same happened once in
purge.rs on the previous branch. Nothing here touches uploads; noted
for a separate look.
The schema conflicted as a binary file: taken from main and the one
edit here re-applied (sysComplianceGet after sysLegalHoldExport). The
import kept the permission count at 673, so the new id stays 673.
Retested on the merged tree in its own target directory: the
compliance and system suites pass. One earlier system run failed in
purge.rs (an imported blob not found) and didn't recur.
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.
Personal-data catalog spec, default D1 (settled 2026-09-28): log files
were never deleted. inbuxa:LogSettings.keepForDays says how many days
rotated log files are kept; unset (null) keeps every file, as before,
and a new install sets 30 days.
It is a fork-owned setting, stored under T + l as audit retention is,
not a field on x:TracerLog: that object is also stored inside
x:Bootstrap with a field after it, so a new field would change
x:Bootstrap's stored format. Server-level, with the tracers'
permissions (sysTracerGet, sysTracerUpdate); changes are in the audit
log, before and after.
Log files are local, so every node deletes its own: hourly, and at once
when the setting changes on that node. Only regular files named
<prefix>.<something> in each enabled log tracer's directory, last
changed more than the limit ago, are removed; the file being written is
never that old, and nothing else in the directory is touched. Minimum
one day. The catalog classifies inbuxa:LogSettings and points the log
file's retention at it.
Tested: unit tests for the file rule (only this log's old files; the
current file, other files and directories stay) and a purge on disk;
the system suite, which reads, sets, refuses zero, restores null and
checks the audit records; fork checks.
Eight conflicted files resolved, plus the lock file and the schema:
- crates/services/src/task_manager/spam_classifier.rs: upstream's rules
update now replaces existing rules, DNSBL servers, lookups and file
extensions, keeping only whether each is on. Taken, with one difference:
an object an admin edited is kept as it is. Every object an update writes
is fingerprinted (content without `enable`, SHA-256, stored under
SUBSPACE_INBUXA "Sf"), and only one that still matches is replaced.
Scores are never replaced, as upstream has it. The AU-1.10 summary record
now names what was added, replaced and kept, and the bundled rules are
marked applied only when the update fully succeeded, so a failure runs
again on the next start. The marker becomes "3.0.2+2", which runs the
update once on upgrade to fingerprint every rule still as bundled.
- crates/common/src/network/autoconfig/autodiscover.rs: upstream's rewrite
(implicit TLS first, labeled SSL), with the per-protocol switches (LP-7,
LP-14a) passed in as a filter.
- crates/store/src/backend/mysql/{search,write}.rs: upstream's chunked
deletes (no unbounded first DELETE, stop on a short chunk, halve the
chunk on the new chunk-too-large errors) inside the fork's query timeout.
- crates/smtp/src/lib.rs: the fork's queue spawn kept. It already fixed the
stall upstream fixes here (a node without outboundMta stops accepting
mail at about 1024 queued messages), and follows role changes live.
- crates/jmap/src/registry/mapping/bootstrap.rs: the log path stays
/var/log/inbuxa/; upstream's PowerDNS mapping taken.
- crates/main/Cargo.toml: the AGPL-only license kept, version 0.16.24.
- tests/src/jmap/principal/get.rs: the fork's capabilities kept.
- resources/schema/schema.json.gz: merged as JSON; upstream relabeled the
vendor Sieve extensions "(Stalwart)", kept as "(vnd.inbuxa)".
- Cargo.lock: upstream's, with the fork's crates added by Cargo.
Also:
- tests/src/smtp/inbound/spam_rules_kept.rs: an edited rule survives an
update, an unedited one is updated, rules from before fingerprints are
handled, and the audit summary says so. Upstream's own spam_rules test
passes unchanged.
- tests/src/smtp/reporting/reschedule.rs moves to port 19058; upstream's
new spam_rules test took 19057.
- tools/fork/renames.py renames the "(Stalwart)" labels and the default
log path, so neither conflicts again.
- tools/fork/notice-check.py compares against the newest snapshot in the
checked-out history instead of the upstream branch head, so moving the
branch no longer fails other open pull requests.
- tests/src/directory/issuer.rs (since v0.16.23) stays out, and is on the
build check's known list: it tests issuer-based directory routing, which
the fork doesn't have (DIR-2).
- Strip report: docs/fork/strip-reports/v0.16.24.{md,json}.
Upstream commit: af37a234981722493b74623a983581691d2b70b6
Enterprise-only files removed or emptied: 63
Enterprise-only snippets removed: 118 in 50 files

Edits turning enterprise off: 25
Third-party code: 14 files, 0 not in THIRD-PARTY.md
Renamed identifiers: 62 in 18 files
Verification: clean
The same Enterprise footprint as v0.16.23. The build check fails only on
tests/src/directory/issuer.rs, unchanged since v0.16.23: it calls a helper
from upstream's Enterprise-only OIDC test, and tests issuer-based directory
routing, an Enterprise feature. main has never carried it.
The legacy-protocols switch was all or nothing. An operator can now stop
POP3 and keep IMAP: each of IMAP, POP3 and ManageSieve has its own
switch, server-wide on inbuxa:ProtocolPolicy and per tenant on
inbuxa:TenantProtocolPolicy (properties imap, pop3, manageSieve).
legacyProtocols stays as the kill-all: setting it sets all three, and it
reads "disabled" exactly when all three are off. A policy stored before
this has only legacyProtocols and reads as all three at that value, so
existing servers and tenants carry over unchanged. In one /set, a
protocol named beside legacyProtocols overrides it.
SMTP submission keeps no switch of its own: sign-in over it is refused
only when all three are off, as the single switch did (LP-6), so
turning one protocol off never stops a mail app sending. For a tenant,
the server's switches and the tenant's count together.
Server-wide, a change closes the listeners of whatever is now off and
puts back the saved listeners of whatever is on again, both in one
change if asked; listeners of a protocol still off stay saved. Sign-in,
autoconfig, autodiscover, PACC (now prepared once per combination) and
the suggested DNS records all follow each protocol separately. A tenant
may turn a protocol on only while the server has it on (LP-9), and the
refusal names which. The JMAP session adds legacyAllowed, the protocols
still allowed for the account; legacyProtocols there keeps its meaning
for older webmail builds. Events name the switches ("pop3 disabled"),
and audit before/after reads every switch even from an older policy.
Tested: unit tests for the switches, the old-policy reading, the
server/tenant combination, the tenant refusal and listener refusal; and
tests/e2e/legacy_protocols.py against a running server, all 100 checks,
including new ones: POP3 alone off closes only its port and refuses
only its sign-in while IMAP and sending go on; only POP3 stops being
advertised; one change closes IMAP and reopens POP3; a tenant turns
POP3 off for itself, and can't turn IMAP on while the server has it off.
An item the hold covers whose stored record or content can't be read
goes in exceptions.csv with the path it would have had and the reason,
rather than being left out silently. The file is always in the ZIP, so a
header-only one shows nothing was missed, and manifest.sha256 carries
its hash beside the manifest's.
inbuxa:HoldExport/set takes a hold, optionally some of the accounts it
covers, and a reason; the collection runs in the background and get
says when it's ready. The ZIP has, per account, mail as .eml under its
folders, calendars as .ics, contacts as .vcf, files as stored, and the
archived items the hold keeps under archived/; a manifest.csv gives each
entry's account, kind, folder, date, whether it was archived, size and
SHA-256, and manifest.sha256 hashes the manifest. Accounts the hold
doesn't cover are left out, and items outside its date range are too:
live mail by arrival, events by start, and archived items the same way,
so an export doesn't carry deleted items that only another hold keeps.
The finished file is a blob of whoever started the export, so only they
download it, and it lasts as long as any upload (uploadTtl). Exports
are records under the hold (SUBSPACE_INBUXA H/e): never changed or
destroyed, each with its status, counts, size and checksum. Starting
one needs sysLegalHoldExport, an active hold and a reason, and is
recorded in the audit log like the audit log's own export.
The build is in memory and capped at 2 GB; bigger holds fail with a
message saying so, and are split by picking accounts.
Tested: unit tests for safe ZIP names and the manifest and its hash;
the legal_hold system test, on RocksDB, PostgreSQL and MySQL, exports a
hold end to end (live and archived mail, the manifest's hash, an asked-
for account the hold doesn't cover left out) and checks the refusals
(no reason, a user without the permission, a released hold) and the
audit record; and by hand from the console on a local server. Not
covered by a test: the archived-item date range with two holds of
different ranges over one account.
An account's or mailing list's name is only its local part, so the log
said "Account ken.gosling" where two domains could each have one; it
now says [email protected]. A change to a legal hold was
recorded under its id; the hold's current state is now read first, so
the record carries its case name and each change reads before/after.
inbuxa:LegalHold/get answers accountsCovered, itemsHeld and sizeHeld
when asked: the accounts a hold reaches now (deleted ones it keeps
included) and the archived items it keeps, with their size. Worked out
in one pass over accounts and archive, only for requests that name them.
Held items stay out of the user's quota, as all archived copies do
(LH-9).
Destroying a held account removes the login, as offboarding needs, but
keeps its data as a deleted account with no expiry, whether or not
undelete keeps accounts; its addresses stay reserved and its holds name
it from then on. Destroy-now refuses it, and its DestroyAccount task
defers itself while it's held or its time hasn't come. Holds placed or
released later freeze or free kept accounts in the same settle pass,
with 30 days' grace after the last release (LH-8, LH-10).
Placing or widening a hold freezes what's already archived in its scope
and range, its old deadline noted; releasing one gives each item no other
hold covers that deadline back, or release plus 30 days if later. One
pass over the archive does both and changes nothing twice (LH-6, LH-10,
LH-11). A held archived item can't be destroyed; restoring still can,
and the hold is named only to callers who may see holds (LH-7). Audit
records about a held account survive the purge (AU-7).
Fixes the daily clean-up of expired archived items (UD-13), which never
found any: the registry's unfiltered query reads an all-ids index that
archived items aren't in. Items are now walked account by account, kept
deleted accounts included. Expired items were still removed whenever
their account's archive was read.
inbuxa:LegalHold get/set places a hold on accounts, groups, domains,
tenants or the whole server, with an optional date range. A hold's range
and scope can only widen, a released hold is read-only, and none is ever
deleted. Placing, changing and releasing each need a reason and are
audited (LH-1, LH-3, LH-10, AU-12).
Permissions 669-672 (see, place, widen or release, export held data)
go to server administrators only; the tenant ceiling always strips them,
as it does Impersonate (LH-13). Schema: Compliance > Legal Holds.
What a hold keeps comes next, through the undelete hooks.
Also moves the lock expiry helpers below the lock module's imports.
A shared account refuses top-level folders, so an organize or full
delegate couldn't add anything to a locked account with no folders. A
delegate who may write now can, as the owner could; the reconcile after
the create grants it the new folder. Read delegates still can't (AL-6,
AL-7).
A locked account can't sign in (it fails as a wrong password does), its
sessions end on every node, refresh tokens stop working, and its Sieve
scripts forward and reply to nothing. Mail keeps arriving.
Delegates get real ACL grants on the account's mailboxes, calendars,
address books and files at read, organize or full, with the rights they
replaced restored on unlock. Folders made later are granted after the
create and in a daily sweep. Organize delegates can't destroy; send-as
needs organize or full. The JMAP session marks delegated accounts in
urn:inbuxa:jmap.
New inbuxa:AccountLock object with get/set, permissions 665-668, and a
Compliance > Locked Accounts entry in the schema. Lock, unlock and
delegate changes need a reason and are audited; delegate access and
writes are audited too (audit-hold-lock spec AL-1 to AL-12).
What administrators and the server itself do to the control plane is now
recorded, from inbuxa-drafts/specs/audit-hold-lock.md (AU-1 to AU-12):
settings, accounts, domains, roles and every other registry change, with
each field's before and after (secrets only as "changed"); the fork's own
settings objects; administrator sign-ins (and failed ones to administrator
accounts), master-user and recovery-admin sign-ins, once an hour per
account, method and address; access to another account's data through
impersonation or FetchAnyBlob, once an hour; exports and tamper checks;
and registry writes the server makes on its own, named by subsystem
(system:AcmeRenewal, system:auto-ban, system:directory-sync, ...), with a
spam rules update as one summary record.
No change without its record (AU-3): before a set method changes anything,
a pending record per requested create, update and destroy is written; if
that fails, the method is refused with serverFail. Its outcome follows as
a later entry. A change interrupted by a crash stays "unfinished".
Records live in the fork's subspace under L, as one SHA-256 hash chain per
node. The chain's head is stored, never cached, and every append asserts
it, so two writers can't take the same place. Nothing can edit or delete
a record; the daily purge removes the oldest past the retention (default
730 days, minimum 90) and records where the chain now starts, so
verification still passes. security.audit-recorded (647) copies each
record to webhooks, OpenTelemetry and the log; security.audit-write-failed
(648) reports a failed write.
New JMAP objects under urn:inbuxa:jmap: inbuxa:AuditEvent/get and /query
(filters: time, actor, action, target, account, tenant, outcome, address,
text), inbuxa:AuditSettings, inbuxa:AuditExport (CSV or JSON Lines built
on the server, each line with its chain hash, ending in a manifest; the
created object names the blob and its SHA-256) and
inbuxa:AuditVerification. New permissions sysAuditGet, sysAuditExport and
sysAuditSettingsUpdate: the Administrator role gets all three, the Tenant
Administrator role gets read and export, once, on existing installs too.
A tenant administrator sees records whose actor or target is in its
tenant, including a server administrator's changes there.
Sign-in method on the session: access tokens now remember how they signed
in (password, app password, API key, OAuth client, directory, master user,
recovery admin), including across the HTTP credential cache. New OAuth
access tokens carry their client id in the sealed claims; older ones show
as client "unknown" until they expire.
The schema gains the permissions, the two events and a Management >
Compliance > Audit Log link.
Stack: the request layer boxes every inner future where it's made. Without
that, a debug build overflowed the default 2 MB worker stack on a registry
set; measured with the same request, the branch and main now overflow at
the same stack size (between 1856 and 1920 KiB, debug), so the layer adds
nothing measurable.
Tests: unit tests in inbuxa-features and jmap; system::audit::audit_log_tests
(run with --ignored) passes on RocksDB, SQLite, PostgreSQL, PostgreSQL with a
read replica, MySQL, MySQL with a replica and FoundationDB. The system, JMAP
and SCIM suites pass. authorization.rs skipped fork permissions that guard
no registry object; the audit suite checks a plain user is refused instead.
ai-explain spec, amendment 1 (EX-22 to EX-28):
- answers are three or four sentences, max_tokens 160, cut at 700 chars;
- POST /api/explain streams the answer as server-sent events;
- each node remembers answers in memory (1,000, 24 h), keyed by the facts,
prompt version and model, shared by server-level administrators;
- resources/explain/settings.json.gz ships answers for settings at their
defaults, generated with prepare_setting_explanations (717 for 2026.9.27);
- the system prompt no longer carries the per-request marker, so a model
server can reuse it;
- inbuxa:Explanation gains source, answeredAt and preparedFor.
A singleton such as x:SpamSettings has no stored object until someone
saves it; /get shows its defaults instead. Explain looked only for the
stored object, so every setting still at its defaults answered "No
such x:SpamSettings." It now falls back to the defaults the same way.
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.
Setting deliverAt on an internal DMARC or TLS report wrote the new task
queue row with the report's object type (0x21, 0x6e) instead of the task
type (7, 8), and left the task row at its old due. The task manager's scan
failed on that row with store.data-corruption ("Failed to iterate over task
queue"), and because the error ended the whole scan, every task due after
the row stopped running on every node.
- reschedule_ops writes the new queue row through schedule_task_with_id, so
it carries the task type and the task row gets the new due. It removes
the row the task is actually queued under (the task's due, which differs
from deliverAt once the task has been retried) and any row an earlier
reschedule left at deliverAt.
- x:DmarcInternalReport/set and x:TlsInternalReport/set lock the report's
task while they move it, as x:Task/set does, refuse while the report is
being sent, release the locks however the request ends, and wake the task
manager.
- The task manager logs a queue row it can't read (id, due, key, value) and
skips it instead of ending the scan. It then repairs the row from its task:
the row is rewritten with the task's type, and a row with no task behind
it is removed. A row holding a report's object type for a report task is
what the old reschedule wrote: the task is moved to that row's time, as
the reschedule intended, and its old queue row is removed. Stores that
already hold such a row recover on their own once it comes due.
- x:Task/query with a type filter skips an unreadable row instead of
failing.
Test: smtp::reporting::reschedule (RocksDB and PostgreSQL). It fails on
main: x:Task/get shows the old due, and with that check removed, neither
report nor a later task ever runs.
A 3-node rehearsal found that saving an MtaDeliverySchedule left it
unknown to the queue ("Queue strategy not found") until someone ran
x:Action ReloadSettings; only Directory and Authentication writes
reloaded (DIR-17). The admin UI has to remember a separate reload after
every save, and a script or API client that doesn't gets a server
running stale settings.
x:<Object>/set now reloads the running settings when it created,
updated or destroyed an object they are built from, and broadcasts the
same RegistryChange::Reload over the coordinator as ReloadSettings, so
every node applies it:
- Settings objects (MTA, spam filter, listeners, tracers, Sieve system
scripts, cluster roles, directories, ...: the object types the core,
telemetry, listener and directory builders read) get a full reload.
- Certificates, lookup stores and blocked/allowed IPs get their own
targeted reloads.
- Accounts, domains, roles and other data read as needed, stores (they
take a restart) and applications (their own reload action) get none.
Full reloads are coalesced: a write waits for a reload that started
after it was stored and joins one if it can, so a burst of writes, or
a request with many objects, costs one or two reloads, not one each.
The write itself is never undone. When the reload is refused (build
errors in objects that were working, the rule from the previous
commit), the set response says so in a new x:settingsReload field,
{"applied": false, "description": "Saved, but the running settings
were not reloaded. <object>: <error>"}; {"applied": true} otherwise.
The field is absent when the write needs no reload. The description
helper is shared with ReloadSettings' refusal.
Each reload sends the queue a ReloadSettings event, so the SMTP test
harness's read_event, try_read_event and assert_no_events now pass over
those; expect_reload_settings still waits for one.
system::auto_reload::settings_reload_tests (new): an MtaVirtualQueue
and an MtaDeliverySchedule created over JMAP are in the running
settings with no ReloadSettings, and gone once destroyed; eight
concurrent creates all land; a write whose reload fails is stored and
reported applied: false with the error; a domain write carries no
x:settingsReload. On main the new schedule is missing. The cluster
broadcast test (three nodes, PostgreSQL + NATS) now checks that every
node has a schedule created on node 0 without a reload.
A 3-node rehearsal found every settings reload refused, cluster-wide,
because one node couldn't resolve the Pyzor server:
- PyzorConfig::parse resolved the host while building the settings and
made a failed lookup a build error. It now keeps the host and port and
resolves when a message is checked (an IP address is used as is, a
name is reused for five minutes, the lookup counts against the Pyzor
timeout). A failure there is a Pyzor error for that message.
- A milter's hostname was resolved the same way, with a blocking
to_socket_addrs in async code. An IP address is kept; a name is now
resolved on each connection.
Other build-time I/O is already non-fatal: directories that can't
connect become unavailable with a warning (DIR-21), and the AI model
locality check only warns.
reload_registry swapped the core only when the whole build was free of
errors, while boot runs with whatever built. One failing object thus
refused every later reload, and the running settings went stale. Now a
reload is refused only for errors in objects that built when the
running settings were built (at boot or by the last applied reload):
applying it would lose those. Objects that already failed then are
missing from the running settings anyway, as at boot, so their errors
are logged and returned as known_errors but don't hold the reload back.
Refusing on new errors keeps a bad edit from taking a working object
out of service; the admin gets the error instead.
ReloadSettings now says "Settings were not reloaded." and names the
object and its error ("Tracer with id ...: Only one console tracer is
allowed"), with a count of any further errors. A refused reload after a
directory change logs its errors too.
system::reload::reload_tests (new): with Pyzor enabled on an
unresolvable host, ReloadSettings succeeds (on main it fails with
"Invalid address: failed to lookup address information"); an IP host
needs no lookup; a new build error refuses the reload, names the object
and leaves the running settings unchanged; the same error, once known
from the running settings' build, no longer blocks; once fixed, a new
error there blocks again. smtp::inbound::milter's session test now
names its milter "localhost", so the connect-time lookup is exercised.
The trace index task wrote the event type (its name) and the queue id as
text, but the tracing search index types both as integers on every
backend: BIGINT on PostgreSQL and MySQL, long on Elasticsearch. On
PostgreSQL every batch holding a trace document failed with "cannot
convert between the Rust type String and the Postgres type int8", and
since a batch writes trace and email documents together, email indexing
stalled behind it.
The document is now built by trace_search_document(), which writes:
- the event type as the opening event's numeric id, the event
x:Trace/query's event filter already matches on;
- the queue id as an integer, the first one the trace names;
- every queue id into the keywords as well, since the column holds one
value and an SMTP session can queue several messages.
index_keyword() replaced the field on every call, so before this only the
last event type and queue id survived anyway.
x:Trace/query's queueId filter parses the id (a string, or now a number)
and matches the column or the keywords, so a session is found by any of
its queue ids on every backend. The monitoring spec says what is indexed.
Traces indexed before this on the built-in index keep their text values;
the reindexTelemetry maintenance task rebuilds them.
Tests: the search store suite builds trace documents with the index
task's code, indexes them and finds them by queue id, event type and
keyword (Sqlite, PostgreSQL, MySQL); the monitoring suite finds a real
trace by queueId through x:Trace/query.
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.
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.
Deleting a tenant now also removes its stored inbuxa:TenantProtocolPolicy,
in the same place the registry's other per-type clean-ups run. Without it
the row outlived the tenant, and a tenant that later came to have the same
id would have started with legacy protocols off.
The e2e deletes a tenant whose switch a server administrator had turned
off, and would check that a new tenant with the same id starts with them
on. On this build the registry hands out a fresh id instead ("d" after
"c"), so the reuse -- and with it the removal -- isn't observable over
JMAP; the test says so rather than passing silently. The risk it guards
was therefore smaller than feared, and the change is mostly about not
leaving an orphaned row behind. All 72 checks pass.
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 urn:inbuxa:jmap capability on the signed-in principal's own account
gains legacyProtocols: "enabled" or "disabled", the stricter of the
server's switch and the account's tenant's (legacy-protocols spec,
Interfaces). It is what the webmail needs to tell someone why their phone's
mail app won't connect (LP-19), and it closes acceptance test 13.
contract.md's C-1 gains the line. It is an optional field added, which
C-3 says doesn't bump the contract version.
tests/e2e/legacy_protocols.py reads it back from the session on a running
server: enabled for the tenant's user while both switches are on, disabled
once its tenant turns legacy protocols off while an account outside the
tenant still reads enabled, disabled for everyone while the server switch
is off, and enabled again at the end. All 67 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.
Turning legacy mail protocols off or back on raises
security.legacy-protocols-changed (id 643, info level, also in the packaged
schema), with the scope (policy = server), the new value, who made the
change (accountId), whether listeners closed or reopened (details), which
ones (listenerId), and -- only when a listener could not be put back --
which and why (reason).
It is raised in Server::set_protocol_policy rather than by the JMAP
method, so whatever turns the switch is reported. A /set that changes
nothing -- the switch already where it was asked to be, nothing to close
or reopen -- is not a change and raises nothing.
The event is never an error, but jmap's exhaustive map from security
events to HTTP errors has to name it; it joins the other two that can't
occur there. rustfmt now also wraps LP-6's two over-long lines in
enums_impl.rs, which it flagged along with this change's.
tests/e2e/legacy_protocols.py now gives the server a stdout tracer and
reads events from the container's log: turning the switch off is exactly
one event naming the scope, value, author and listeners closed; setting it
off again raises none; turning it on is one event naming the listeners
reopened. It also proves LP-6's side: seven refused submission sign-ins
are seven auth.legacy-protocol-refused events, and there is no auth.failed
or auth.too-many-attempts among them. All checks pass.
While legacy mail protocols are off, x:NetworkListener/set refuses to
create a listener the switch would close, and refuses an update that would
turn an existing one into such a listener -- otherwise changing a
listener's protocol would walk straight past the check. The refusal is
invalidProperties on protocol (or on bind, for a submission listener once
SMTP is unlocked, since its port is what makes it one), and its description
names inbuxa:ProtocolPolicy and says to turn legacy protocols back on first.
The rule is the switch's own, listeners::closes, so what can't be added is
exactly what the switch would close: locked protocols (SMTP, LMTP, HTTP)
and the inbound port are never refused. Putting saved listeners back
(LP-5) writes through the registry, not /set, so it is unaffected.
The e2e changes with it. LP-6's check that an IMAP listener "created by
mistake" refuses sign-in can't be set up any more -- LP-4 is what stops
that listener existing -- so that step now proves test 4 instead: creating
an IMAP listener is refused, naming the policy; an SMTP listener can still
be created; and updating it to IMAP is refused. LP-6 stays proven live over
submission, and its IMAP wording by unit tests. All checks pass.
The switch is now reachable. /get and /set on a server-level singleton,
wired through jmap-proto the way inbuxa:AiLimits is: object, method names,
request and response variants, reference resolution and evaluation.
/set does not write the policy. It hands what was asked to
Server::set_protocol_policy, which applies the locks, moves the listener
objects and opens or closes their sockets, and reports what happened. So
the method cannot drift from what the switch actually does.
Two properties exist for the screen rather than the server. lockedProtocols
serves LP-21's locked set, so the selector renders SMTP and JMAP locked
from what the server says instead of a list the front end carries -- and
unlocking later needs no admin release. wouldClose answers LP-16: exactly
which listeners turning the switch on would close, by name and port, before
anything happens. It is computed against a hypothetical disabled policy, so
it reads the same whichever way the switch is set, and the registry is only
asked when the property was requested.
savedListeners, changedAt, changedBy and both of those are the server's to
say; a client that sets one gets invalidProperties naming it. closeSubmission
is different: locked, not immutable, so it is overruled rather than refused
and the response hands back what was really stored (false). JMAP already has
the place for that, the value beside an updated id.
Permissions reuse SysNetworkListenerGet and SysNetworkListenerUpdate rather
than adding to a schema-generated enum -- the same choice AiLimits made with
the classifier's. It also reads right: this takes listeners away and puts
them back, so whoever may edit a listener may turn the switch.
changedBy stores the account id, not the name, which survives a rename.
Still no screen, no sign-in refusal (LP-6) and no event (LP-8).
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.
Every one of the 14 was `#[cfg(not(feature = "enterprise"))]` on the arm the
fork always compiles: the Enterprise arms went with the import, and nothing
turns the feature on. Removing the attribute leaves the same code, now
unconditional, in 11 files.
Two of them looked like behavior worth checking before touching: the
`validate_tenant_quota` stub that always passes, and the refusal to cancel a
pending DestroyAccount task. The stub is vestigial — the rebuilt
multi-tenancy enforces quotas in `crates/features/src/tenancy/quota.rs` for
those objects and more — and the refusal is undelete's open question, which
this change leaves exactly as it was.
The binary builds with no new warnings, and `system_tests` and `jmap_tests`,
which cover the touched registry, task-manager and auth paths, both pass.
The feature definitions stay in the manifests, inert: taking them out would
widen every sync's diff for nothing.
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.
