John, 2026-09-20: "SMTP and JMAP should be shown with the selector locked,
we want to prevent those two protocols from being shutdown for now."
The selector lists every mail protocol the server speaks, so the operator
sees the whole surface at once; SMTP and JMAP sit in it named and visibly
not switchable. JMAP was never closeable -- closing it locks everyone out
of their mail and the operator out of INBUXA Admin, with no way back but
the host -- and is now visibly so. SMTP is locked whole. LP-3 already
spared inbound on 25; this extends that to submission on 465 and 587,
which LP-1 would otherwise have closed by default.
So closeSubmission has no effect while the lock stands, and is forced to
false. A client that asks for true is not refused: the value is recorded,
overruled, and the overrule reported, because the field is specified and
the lock is meant to be temporary. is_locked() is consulted before
anything else in closes(), so no phrasing of a request reaches past it.
This costs the feature nothing. Submission's ports stay open and sign-in
over them is still refused once LP-6 lands, which is the case acceptance
test 2 already described: a mail app reaching 465 is told it cannot sign
in rather than finding nothing listening. The operator also keeps a port
they may well be forwarding, which is the LP-20 problem in miniature.
The locked set is a server constant the front ends read, not a list they
carry, so unlocking later is a server change and no admin release. The
LP-3 tests stay as they are, to keep it covered if the lock is lifted.
Recorded as LP-21, with acceptance tests 17 and 18.
