This is an extension of #427. Building on that change it adds support in the
aliases table for flagging aliases as:
1. Applicable to inbound and outbound mail.
2. Applicable to inbound mail only.
3. Applicable to outbound mail only.
4. Disabled.
The aliases UI is also updated to allow administrators to set the direction of
each alias.
Using this extra information, the sqlite queries executed by Postfix are
updated so only the relevant alias types are checked.
The goal and result of this change is that outbound-only catch-all aliases can
now be defined (in fact catch-all aliases of any type can be defined).
This allow us to continue supporting relaying as described at
https://mailinabox.email/advanced-configuration.html#relay
without requiring that administrators either create regular aliases for each
outbound *relay* address, or that they create a catch-all alias and then face a
flood of spam.
I have tested the code as it is in this commit and fixed every issue I found,
so in that regard the change is complete. However I see room for improvement
in terms of updating terminology to make the UI etc. easier to understand.
I'll make those changes as subsequent commits so that this tested checkpoint is
not lost, but also so they can be rejected independently of the actual change
if not wanted.
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.
* Use `cryptography` instead of parsing openssl's output.
* When checking if we can reuse the primary domain certificate or a www-parent-domain certificate for a domain, avoid shelling out to openssl entirely.
* 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.
Unfortunately our users/aliases database is case sensitive. (Perhaps I should have defined the columns with COLLATE NOCASE, see https://www.sqlite.org/datatype3.html.) Postfix always queries the tables in lowecase, so mail delivery would fail if a user or alias were defined with any capital letters. It would have also been possible to add multiple euqivalent addresses into the database with different case.
This commit rejects new mail users that have capital letters and forces new aliases to lowecase. I prefer to reject rather than casefold user accounts so that the login credentials the user gave are exactly what goes into the database.

This also includes fixes for a typo and some whitespace inconsistencies in
mailconfig.py. In fact the capitalisation change and those fixes are the
remnants of a patch I had been running that changed the default aliases - it
was through developing it that I found the issues.
(I wanted to bring the number of patches I apply before deploying to zero and
in the case of this one I've come to view the way MIAB already is as superior,
so I've undone the core of my patch and these tiny issues are all that remain).
* install the munin-node package
* don't install munin-plugins-extra (if the user wants it they can add it)
* expose the munin www directory via the management daemon so that it can handle authorization, rather than manintaining a separate password file
The OVH VPS provider creates systems without /dev/stdout. I have never seen that before. But fine. We were passing it as a command line option to `openssl req`, but outputting to stdout is the default so it's not necessary to specify /dev/stdout.
Fixes#277. Also https://discourse.mailinabox.email/t/500-internal-server-error/475/10.
* use the AES256 cipher, be explicit that only the first line of secret_key.txt is used, and sanity check that the passphrase is long enough
* change overship of the encrypted files to the user-data user
* simplify variable names in management/backup.py
* although I appreciate long comments I am trimming the commentary about the backup migration
* revise the control panel template to not refer to the old unencrypted files
* add CHANGELOG entry
[Josh merged some subsequent commits:]
* Guard via idempotency against termination between migration operations
* Final corrections and tweaks
* Pass passphrase through to all duplicity calls
Empirical evidence (a failed cron job) shows that cleanup requires the
passphrase (so it presumably needs to decrypt metadata), and though
remove-older-than has been working fine without it, it won't do any harm
to set it in case that changes or there are any special cases.
* Add back the archive-dir override but locate it at STORAGE_ROOT/backup/cache
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).
If bind9 isn't running, dont proceed with other checks because we can't do DNS checks. Even though we skip, add error handling so that a failed call to rndc doesn't crash and that a timeout in a DNS check doesn't crash the status checks.
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.
This seemed to already be technically supported but the validation is now stricter and the admin is more helpful:
* Postfix seems to allow @domain.tld as an alias destination address but only if it is the only destination address (see the virtual man page).
* Allow @domain.tld if it is the whole destination address string.
* Otherwise, do not allow email addresses without local parts in the destination.
* In the admin, add a third tab for making it clear how to add a domain alias.
closes#265
* also fixes the footer alignment to be within a container rather than a container-fluid
* this changed the width of the login form slightly, so am cleaning that up too
see #244
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.
* If the PRIMARY_HOSTNAME is in a zone with a DS record set at the registrar, show any DNSSEC failure (but only a failure) immediately since it is probably the cause of other DNS errors displayed later.
* For zones, if a DS record is set at the register, do the DNSSEC test first because even the NS test will fail if DNSSEC is improperly configure.
* But if a DS record is not set, the this is just a suggestion to configure DNSSEC so offer the suggestion last --- after mail and web checks.

Revert "Changed incomming-email-input to type text"
This reverts commit 9631fab7b2.
In the event the first user is an address that we'd normally create as an alias,
we'd generate a loop from the alias to the administrative alias to the first user
account (which was the alias again).
hopefully fixes#186
This allows users to add a file /etc/nginx/conf.d/includes/mydomain.com.conf, the contents of which will be included in the server block for mydomain.com.
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)
> Checking glue for ns1.my.domain.tld (1234::1).
> Missing glue at child: ns1.my.domain.tld
> Checking glue for ns2.my.domain.tld (1.2.3.4).

I'm not very familiar with Python and DNS, please verify ;)
This reverts pull request #105 from jonessen96/master (84d2023f94) which was incorrect because it lost the "+" in DOT_ATOM_TEXT and so was not accepting any email addresses.
Am taking the opportunity to make the code cleaner while I'm here.
This lets roundcube's manageseive plugin do cool things like vacation responses.
Also:
* Run the spam filtering sieve script out of a global sieve file that we'll place in /etc/dovecot. It is no longer necessary to create per-user sieve files for this. Remove them with a new migration. Remove the code that created them.
* Corrects the spam script. Backslashes were double-escaped probably because this script started embedded within the bash script. Not sure how this was working until now.
this adapts work by @h8h in #103
Intended to be the simplest auth possible: every time the service
starts, a random key is written to `/var/lib/mailinabox/api.key`. In
order to authenticate to the service, the client must pass the contents
of `api.key` in an HTTP basic auth header. In this way, users who do not
have read access to that file are not able to communicate with the
service.
Postfix has a tls_security_level called "dane" which uses DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE)
to require, if specified in the DNS of the MX host, an encrpyted connection with a known certificate.
This commit adds TLSA records.
Duplicity will manage the process of creating incremental backups for us.
Although duplicity can both encrypt & copy files to a remote host, I really
don't like PGP and so I don't want to use that.
Instead, we'll back up to a local directory unencrypted, then manually
encrypt the full & incremental backup files. Synchronizing the encrypted
backup directory to a remote host is a TODO.
Addresses #3
Added support by adding parallel code wherever `$PUBLIC_IP` was used.
Providing an IPv6 address is completely optional.
Playing around on my IPv6-enabled mail server revealed that — before
this change — mailinabox might try to use an IPv6 address as the value
for `$PUBLIC_IP`, which wouldn't work out well.
* for local mail users, also disallows periods at the beginning or end of the local or domain parts
* Dovecot gets confused if the string contains any unusual characters, so local mail users are restricted to a narrow regex
* for mail aliases Postfix is not confused so use a regex based on RFC 2822
* adding a Vagrantfile
* in a non-interactive setup like this, create the user's first email account for them
* let the machine auto-detect its IP address using http://icanhazip.com/
* use our own justtesting.email domain to provision a subdomain for users so they can quickly get started
* Created a new Python/flask-based management daemon.
* Moved the mail user management core code from tools/mail.py to the new daemon.
* tools/mail.py is a wrapper around the daemon and can be run as a non-root user.
* Adding a new initscript for the management daemon.
* Moving dns_update.sh to the management daemon, called via curl'ing the daemon's API.
This also now runs the DNS update after mail users and aliases are added/removed,
which sets up new domains' DNS as needed.
