These subdomains/records are for automatic configuration of mail clients, but if there are no user accounts on a domain, there is no need to publish a DNS record, provision a TLS certificate, or create an nginx server config block.
* Create the mta_sts A/AAAA records even if there is no valid TLS certificate because we can't get a TLS certificate if we don't set up the domains.
* Make the policy id in the TXT record stable by using a hash of the policy file so that the DNS record doesn't change every day, which means no nightly notification and also it allows for longer caching by sending MTAs.
it is sometimes needed to be able to set axfr to more than just one ip address. This can be done with multiple xfr: in the secondary dns input but if you need to add an entire subnet segment (xxx.xxx.xxx.0/yy) then it will not work.
With this patch it is now possible to use a subnet as input for xfr the same way as if it was an ip address.
@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 cryptography package has created all sorts of installation trouble over the last few years, probably because of mismatches between OS-installed packages and pip-installed packages. Using a virtualenv for all Python packages used by the management daemon should make sure everything is consistent.
See #1298, see #1264.
* sshfp records from nonstandard ports
If port 22 is not open, dns_update.py will not create SSHFP records
because it only scans port 22 for keys. This commit modifies
dns_update.py to parse the sshd_config file for open ports, and
then obtains keys from one of them (even if port 22 is not open).
* modified test of s per JoshData request
* edit CHANGELOG per JoshData
* fix typo
DavDroid's latest version's account configuration no longer just asked for a hostname. Its email address & password configuration mode did not work without a SRV record.
This was originally fixed in 143bbf37f4 (February 16, 2015). Then I broke it in 7a93d219ef (November 2015) while doing some refactoring ahead of v0.15.
While not widely supported, there are some browser addons that can
validate DNSSEC and TLSA for additional out-of-band verification of
certificates when browsing the web. Costs nothing to implement and
might improve security in some situations.
* Add a migration to delete any existing DKIM key so that existing machines get a fresh 2048-bit key. (Sadly we don't support key rotation so the change is immediate.)
* Because the DNS record for a 2048-bit key is so much longer, the way we read OpenDKIM's DNS record text file had to be modified to combine an arbitrary number of TXT record quoted ("...") strings.
* When writing out the TXT record value, the string must be split into quoted ("...") strings with a maximum length of 255 bytes each, per the DNS spec.
* Added a changelog entry.
* Split the nginx templates again so we have just the part needed to make a domain do a redirect separate from the rest.
* Add server blocks to the nginx config for these domains.
* List these domains in the SSL certificate install admin panel.
* Generate default 'www' records just for domains we provide default redirects for.
Fixes#321.
I changed my mind. In 1bf8f1991f I allowed Unicode domain names to go into the database. I thought that was nice because it's what the user *means*. But it's not how the web works. Web and DNS were working, but mail wasn't. Postfix (as shipped with Ubuntu 14.04 without support for SMTPUTF8) exists in an ASCII-only world. When it goes to the users/aliases table, it queries in ASCII (IDNA) only and had no hope of delivering mail if the domain was in full Unicode in the database. I was thinking ahead to SMTPUTF8, where we *could* put Unicode in the database (though that would prevent IDNA-encoded addressing from being deliverable) not realizing it isn't well supported yet anyway.
It's IDNA that goes on the wire in most places anyway (SMTP without SMTPUTF8 (and therefore how Postfix queries our users/aliases tables), DNS zone files, nginx config, CSR 'CN' field, X509 Common Name and Subject Alternative Names fields), so we should really be talking in terms of IDNA (i.e. ASCII).
This partially reverts commit 1bf8f1991f, where I added a lot of Unicode=>IDNA conversions when writing configuration files. Instead I'm doing Unicode=>IDNA before email addresses get into the users/aliases table. Now we assume the database uses IDNA-encoded ASCII domain names. When adding/removing aliases, addresses are converted to ASCII (w/ IDNA). User accounts must be ASCII-only anyway because of Dovecot's auth limitations, so we don't do any IDNA conversion (don't want to change the user's login info behind their back!). The aliases control panel page converts domains back to Unicode for display to be nice. The status checks converts the domains to Unicode just for the output headings.
A migration is added to convert existing aliases with Unicode domains into IDNA. Any custom DNS or web settings with Unicode may need to be changed.
Future support for SMTPUTF8 will probably need to add columns in the users/aliases table so that it lists both IDNA and Unicode forms.
* For non-ASCII domain names, we will keep the Unicode encoding in our users/aliases table. This is nice for the user and also simplifies things like sorting domain names (using Unicode lexicographic order is good, using ASCII lexicogrpahic order on IDNA is confusing).
* Write nsd config, nsd zone files, nginx config, and SSL CSRs with domains in IDNA-encoded ASCII.
* When checking SSL certificates, treat the CN and SANs as IDNA.
* Since Chrome has an interesting feature of converting Unicode to IDNA in <input type="email"> form fields, we'll also forcibly convert IDNA to Unicode in the domain part of email addresses before saving email addresses in the users/aliases tables so that the table is normalized to Unicode.
* Don't allow non-ASCII characters in user account email addresses. Dovecot gets confused when querying the Sqlite database (which we observed even for non-word ASCII characters too, so it may not be related to the character encoding).
Relative hostnames have a fall-back lookup with the machine's hostname appended, which makes no sense. Add a period, e.g. "my.hostname.com" => "my.hostname.com.", to prevent that.
This caused false positive Spamhaus checks. Fixes#185.
The problem was that custom records defined for a subdomain where implicit
records are otherwise defined (e.g. A/AAAA records for the root) were ignored.
Though additional_records for a subdomain are processed in the base call to
build_zone (the call for the parent domain), and so custom records that don't
override implicits were working fine, those that overrode implicits were
ignored.
This was because the recursive call to build_zone for the subdomain creates the
implicit records (including A/AAAA records for the root), and so by relying on
the base call to add the additional_records fails because has_rec returned
true.
Adding a subdomain's additional_records in the child call works because has_rec
returns false when testing whether to add an e.g. A/AAAA override for the root,
as the defaults have not yet been added.
The dns_update script didn't generate IPv6 (AAAA) glue records for the name servers.
This caused http://dnscheck.pingdom.com to complain about a mismatch between the glue records reported by the parent name server and mailinabox nsd.
Here's the failing dnscheck output for reference:
> Checking glue for ns1.my.domain.tld (1.2.3.4).
> Child glue for bgwe.eu found: ns1.my.domain.tld (1.2.3.4)

I'm not very familiar with Python and DNS, please verify ;)
