An administrator picks sections, a schedule (daily, weekly or monthly, at a time in a time zone) and recipients, who must be accounts on this server. Every node looks for due reports once a minute; a run is claimed with the task lock, keyed by report and due time, and recorded on the report, so it goes once. The report is built from what the server already keeps: mail flow, the queue, spoofing from received DMARC reports, TLS failures, deliverability findings and what changed since the last run, security counters, people near their quota, and expiring certificates. It is mailed as text and HTML with optional CSV attachments, DKIM-signed; a sender domain without a key fails the run with that reason instead of sending unsigned. The weekly digest is a built-in report on every server, on by default: every section, Mondays 07:00 UTC, to the system administrators. It can be changed or turned off, not deleted. A tenant administrator makes and sees only their own tenant's reports, which leave out server-wide sections. New: inbuxa:ScheduledReport and inbuxa:ScheduledReportSettings, the sysScheduledReportGet and sysScheduledReportUpdate permissions (granted once to existing administrator roles), privacy catalog entries, and a system test. Spec: inbuxa-drafts specs/scheduled-reports.md.
A complete mail and collaboration server, every feature included, under the AGPL
Note
Development happens on git.coffeylabs.org/inbuxa/inbuxa-server; the copy on GitHub is a read-only mirror. Report issues at git.coffeylabs.org/inbuxa/inbuxa-server/issues, and join discussions at community.coffeylabs.org.
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.
