Version 55 (October 18, 2021)
-----------------------------
Mail:
* "SMTPUTF8" is now disabled in Postfix. Because Dovecot still does not
support SMTPUTF8, incoming mail to internationalized addresses was
bouncing. This fixes incoming mail to internationalized domains (which
was probably working prior to v0.40), but it will prevent sending
outbound mail to addresses with internationalized local-parts.
* Upgraded to Roundcube 1.5.
Control panel:
* The control panel menus are now hidden before login, but now
non-admins can log in to access the mail and contacts/calendar
instruction pages.
* The login form now disables browser autocomplete in the two-factor
authentication code field.
* After logging in, the default page is now a fast-loading welcome page
rather than the slow-loading system status checks page.
* The backup retention period option now displays for B2 backup targets.
* The DNSSEC DS record recommendations are cleaned up and now recommend
changing records that use SHA1.
* The Munin monitoring pages no longer require a separate HTTP basic
authentication login and can be used if two-factor authentication is
turned on.
* Control panel logins are now tied to a session backend that allows
true logouts (rather than an encrypted cookie).
* Failed logins no longer directly reveal whether the email address
corresponds to a user account.
* Browser dark mode now inverts the color scheme.
Other:
* Fail2ban's IPv6 support is enabled.
* The mail log tool now doesn't crash if there are email addresess in
log messages with invalid UTF-8 characters.
* Additional nsd.conf files can be placed in /etc/nsd.conf.d.
By not advertising SMTPUTF8 support at the start, senders may opt to transmit recipient internationalized domain names in IDNA form instead, which will be deliverable.
Incoming mail with internationalized domains was probably working prior to our move to Ubuntu 18.04 when postfix's SMTPUTF8 support became enabled by default.
The previous commit is retained because Mail-in-a-Box users might prefer to keep SMTPUTF8 on for outbound mail, if they are not using internationalized domains for email, in which case the previous commit fixes the 'relay access denied' error even if the emails aren't deliverable.
When an email is received by Postfix using SMTPUTF8 and the recipient domain is a Unicode internationalized domain, it was failing to be delivered (bouncing with 'relay access denied') because our users and aliases tables only store ASCII (IDNA) forms of internationalized domains. In this commit, domain maps are added to the auto_aliases table from the Unicode form of each mail domain to its IDNA form, if those forms are different. The Postfix domains query is updated to look at the auto_aliases table now as well, since it is the only table with Unicode forms of the mail domains.
However, mail delivery is still not working since the Dovecot LMTP server does not support SMTPUTF8, and mail still bounces but with an error that SMTPUTF8 is not supported.
They really should never have been conflated with the user-provided aliases.
Update the postfix alias map to query the automatically generated aliases with lowest priority.
Software updates:
* Upgraded Nextcloud from 17.0.6 to 20.0.1 (with Contacts from 3.3.0 to 3.4.1 and Calendar from 2.0.3 to 2.1.2)
* Upgraded Roundcube to version 1.4.9.
Mail:
* The MTA-STA max_age value was increased to the normal one week.
Control Panel:
* Two-factor authentication can now be enabled for logins to the control panel. However, keep in mind that many online services (including domain name registrars, cloud server providers, and TLS certificate providers) may allow an attacker to take over your account or issue a fraudulent TLS certificate with only access to your email address, and this new two-factor authentication does not protect access to your inbox. It therefore remains very important that user accounts with administrative email addresses have strong passwords.
* TLS certificate expiry dates are now shown in ISO8601 format for clarity.

In the earlier commit, I added a Dovecot userdb lookup. Without a userdb lookup, Dovecot would use the password db for user lookups. With a userdb lookup we can support iterating over users.
But I forgot the WHERE clause in the query, resulting in every incoming message being accepted if the user database contained any users at all. Since the mailbox path template is the same for all users, mail was delivered correctly except that mail that should have been rejected was delivered too.
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.
Aliases have precedence over mail users. A catch-all address would grab mail intended for a mail user and send it elsewhere. This adds some SQL hackery to create dummy aliases for all mail users.

As the scripts keep growing, it's time to split them up to
keep them understandable.
This splits mail.sh into mail-postfix.sh, mail-dovecot.sh,
and mail-users.sh, which has all of the user database-related
configurations shared by Dovecot and Postfix. Also from
spamassassin.sh the core sieve configuration is moved into
mail-dovecot.sh and the virtual transport setting is moved
into mail-postfix.sh.
Also revising one of the sed scripts in mail-dovecot to
not insert a new additional # at the start of a line each
time the script is run.
