Joshua Tauberer 064d75e261 Merge pull request #73 from mkropat/syslog-logging
Tell Flask to log to syslog
2014-06-21 21:22:27 -04:00
Michael Kropat 067052d4ea Add key-based authentication to management service
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.

Joshua Tauberer 67d31ed998 move the SSL setup into its own bash script since it is used for much more than email now 2014-06-21 22:16:46 +00:00
Joshua Tauberer 5faa1cae71 manage the nginx conf in the management daemon too so we can have nginx operate on all domains that we serve mail for 2014-06-20 01:55:12 +00:00
Joshua Tauberer 126ea94ccf drop support for ADSP which since last November is no longer recommended per http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/status-change-adsp-rfc5617-to-historic/ 2014-06-18 22:56:55 -04:00
Joshua Tauberer 95e61bc110 add DANE TLSA records to the PUBLIC_HOSTNAME's DNS
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.

Joshua Tauberer 699bccad80 missing spaces in nsd.conf (has no effect but looks proper) 2014-06-18 23:53:52 +00:00
Joshua Tauberer afb6c26c8b run bind9 on the loopback interface for ensuring we are using a DNSSEC-aware nameserver to resolve our own DNS queries (i.e. when sending mail) since we can't trust that the network configuration provided for us gives us a DNSSEC-aware DNS server
see #71

Joshua Tauberer 14396e58f8 dont create a separate zone for PUBLIC_HOSTNAME if it is a subdomain of another zone (hmm, this is a general principle that could apply to any two domains the box is serving) 2014-06-17 23:30:00 +00:00

Joshua Tauberer e9cde52a48 two more cases of shelling out external programs in a more secure way, see cecda9cec5 2014-06-12 21:06:04 -04:00
Joshua Tauberer 8bd62aa3bc increase duplicity's volume size from the default of 25MB to 100MB so we create fewer files 2014-06-09 13:47:41 +00:00
Joshua Tauberer 5490142df5 re-do the backup script to use the duplicity program
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.

Michael Kropat ae67409603 Support dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 mail servers
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.

Joshua Tauberer 242cadebc8 allow dashes in emails during validation, and for aliases allow a much wider range of characters, fixes #64
* 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

Joshua Tauberer 295981828f Vagrantize
* 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

Joshua Tauberer c54b0cbefc move management into a daemon service running as root
* 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.
