Port 465 with "implicit" (i.e. always-on) TLS is a more secure approach than port 587 with explicit (i.e. optional and only on with STARTTLS). Although we reject credentials on port 587 without STARTTLS, by that point credentials have already been sent.
* SC2068: Double quote array expansions to avoid re-splitting elements.
* SC2186: tempfile is deprecated. Use mktemp instead.
* SC2124: Assigning an array to a string! Assign as array, or use * instead of @ to concatenate.
* SC2102: Ranges can only match single chars (mentioned due to duplicates).
* SC2005: Useless echo? Instead of 'echo $(cmd)', just use 'cmd'.
@joshdata squashed pull request #1398, removed some comments, and added these notes:
* The old init.d script for the management daemon is replaced with a systemd service.
* A systemd service configuration is added to configure permissions for munin on startup.
* nginx SSL settings are updated because nginx's options and defaults have changed, and we now enable http2.
* Automatic SSHFP record generation is updated to know that 22 is the default SSH daemon port, since it is no longer explicit in sshd_config.
* The dovecot-lucene package is dropped because the Mail-in-a-Box PPA where we built the package has not been updated for Ubuntu 18.04.
* The stock postgrey package is installed instead of the one from our PPA (which we no longer support), which loses the automatic whitelisting of DNSWL.org-whitelisted senders.
* Drop memcached and the status check for memcached, which we used to use with ownCloud long ago but are no longer installing.
* Other minor changes.
The default timeout for Postfix's maximal_queue_lifetime and bounce_queue_lifetime is 5 days. This is way too long if you expect someone to have an answer and after 5 days you'll get the message that it's not delivered. This disrupts communication. It would be more responsive if the user got the 'can't deliver' error after 24 hours.
Modify outgoing_mail_header_filters and mail-postfix.sh
files to result in the primary hostname, and the public
ip of the server showing in the first mail header route
instead of unknown and 127.0.0.1. This could help lower
the spam score of mail sent from your server to some
public mail services.
A lot of legit mail servers try again between 200 and 285 seconds, then
3 hours later. Why? RFC is not strict about retry timer so postfix and
other MTA have their own intervals. To fix the problem of receiving
these e-mail really latter, I reduced the delay of postgrey to
180 seconds (default is 300 seconds).
The submission port began offering SSLv3.
With `encrypt`, the smtpd_tls_protocols option is ignored and smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols must be set instead.
