A few of upstream's dual-licensed files carry code from other projects under MIT or BSD terms. The fork redistributes it, so their licenses require the notices to travel with it. THIRD-PARTY.md reproduces them. strip.py now reads the stripped tree's comments for another copyright holder, another license, or a note that code came from somewhere else, and names any file THIRD-PARTY.md doesn't cover. It reports, never fails: the notice goes in with the merge that brings the release in. On v0.16.22 it finds 14 files, all of them covered. The rest of the report is byte-for-byte what the committed one says, so the scan disturbs nothing it already did.

A complete mail and collaboration server, every feature included, under the AGPL
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
**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](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart).
|
|
Project site: [inbuxa.org](https://inbuxa.org) (not up yet).
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
> **Status: in development, not released.** The fork builds, passes its unit
|
|
> tests, and runs as a working mail server. The Enterprise features are being
|
|
> specified and haven't been rebuilt yet. Don't run it in production.
|
|
|
|
## 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, and
|
|
`docs/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
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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 still work, with a warning to rename them.
|
|
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.
|
|

It is a fork of Stalwart, copyright © Stalwart Labs LLC. Upstream's

copyright notices are kept on every file they cover. Stalwart's files are
|
|
dual-licensed AGPL-3.0-only or Stalwart's Enterprise License, and INBUXA takes
|
|
them under the AGPL-3.0 only. A few of those files also carry code from
|
|
other projects under MIT or BSD licenses, which stays under those licenses;
|
|
[THIRD-PARTY.md](./THIRD-PARTY.md) lists it with its notices. "Stalwart" is

Stalwart Labs' name. INBUXA isn't
