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 complete mail and collaboration server, every feature included, under the AGPL
inbuxa is a mail and collaboration server: JMAP, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, CalDAV, CardDAV and WebDAV, in one Rust binary, with ihasmail as its web front end. It is a fork of Stalwart. Project site: inbuxa.org. Documentation: docs.inbuxa.org.
Stalwart ships some features only in a paid Enterprise Edition: multi-tenancy, masked email, undelete and others. inbuxa ships everything to everybody under the AGPL-3.0, rebuilding those features independently and without using any of Stalwart's Enterprise code.
What's different from Stalwart
- Every feature, one edition. No license key, no edition checks, no
upsell. See
docs/spec/SPEC.md§4 for the features being rebuilt, anddocs/spec/features/for each one's specification. - Webmail and administration by ihasmail, as a separate service that can run beside the server or elsewhere. Stalwart's own web interface is removed, so there's no web front end on the mail host.
- Clean-room rebuilds. Enterprise-only code is stripped from every
upstream release before it's imported. The rebuilt features are written
from specifications that use only public sources (
docs/spec/SPEC.md§3).
How the fork is kept
Upstream releases arrive as stripped snapshots, never with upstream's git
history, which contains Enterprise code. tools/fork/strip.py builds each
snapshot on top of upstream's own ossify.py, then verifies it independently.
The report for every import is in docs/fork/strip-reports/. See
docs/spec/SPEC.md §2.
Building
cargo build --release -p inbuxa # the binary is target/release/inbuxa
docker build -t inbuxa . # or the container image
Settings are read from INBUXA_* environment variables. An existing Stalwart
install's STALWART_* variables aren't read: the server stops at startup and
names each one to rename.
New installs keep their data in /var/lib/inbuxa and logs in
/var/log/inbuxa. Existing installs keep the paths their configuration
already names, so none of their data moves.
