maddy 0.2

Stability: This version is believed to be stable enough for use in use
non-critical deployments. Database structure for sql (imapsql) module is
compatible with 0.1. Configuration requires some changes.

Incompatible changes & migration notes

• alias_file is replaced with generic replace_rcpt module that can use any "table"-like structure for lookups.
  Migration: Replace alias_file /etc/maddy/aliases with replace_rcpt file_table /etc/maddy/aliases.

• replace_rcpt now relies on tables to handle regexp and static replacements.
  Migration: Replace replace_rcpt postmaster postmaster@$(primary_domain)
  with replace_rcpt static { entry postmaster postmaster@$(primary_domain).
  Replace replace_rcpt "(.+)\+(.+)@(.+)" "$1@$3" with
  replace_rcpt regexp "(.+)\+(.+)@(.+)" "$1@$3".

• Module sql is renamed to imapsql. Change its name in the
  configuration block definition for local_mailboxes/local_authdb.

• Configuration parser now requires a new line after } closing the block.

New features

• Authentication code is refined and generalized. It permits the implementation
  of additional more complex SASL mechanisms such as TLS client certificate
  authentication and OAuth2 support. These are not implemented in 0.2 though.
  What is currently accessible is the ability to use multiple password-based
  authentication providers to allow user login based on any match from any
  credentials store configured.

• Generic Postfix-like string lookup abstraction is introduced. Alias rewriting
  is updated to use. Additionally, it is possible to use it for password-based
  authentication now. Currently implemented "tables" are: identity (returns
  the lookup key), dummy (empty table), sql_table (returns the result of
  a SQL query), static (hardcoded mapping), regexp (Regular
  Expression-based rewrite of lookup key).

• sign_dkim module now supports multiple domains in a single configuration,
  avoiding the need for complex dispatching.

• maddy -v output now includes compile-time defaults for state_dir,
  runtime_dir and configuration path.

• build.sh script can now customize default values for state_dir and
  runtime_dir.

Bug fixes

• Fix race in file_table reload test (a91d8c2)
• Fix misuse of TriesCount in queue (ceda725)
• Fix queue retry delay calculation (4b3e7ce)

Build artifacts are produced using the same environment as 0.1.

maddy 0.1.1

This release includes no server code changes.

Known issues

• Delay between outbound delivery attempts is improperly calculated and has no effect.
  Fixed on development branch. Set low outbound rate limit as a workaround for 0.1:

  limits outbound_limits {
      destination rate 1 1m
  }
  

• Outbound delivery will be attempted more than allowed by max_tries (by 1).
  Fixed on development branch.

• build.sh script bundled with 0.1 fails if the system Go toolchain lacks the patch version number (e.g. 1.14).
  Fixed on development branch. The fixed version is uploaded to foxcpp.dev.

It is possible to install the in-development version by adding --gitversion flag to the build.sh script invocation:

curl 'https://foxcpp.dev/maddy/build.sh' | bash /dev/stdin --gitversion dev

Change log

Documentation

• Mention prebuilt binaries in the setup tutorial
• Be more specific about build.sh dependencies
• Remove "in early development" disclaimers
• Several minor edits (8f1d572)

Build script (build.sh)

• Use absolute path to the Go toolchain in PATH
• Check GOMOD value correctly
• Remove wget dependency

Build environment is the same as the previous release (0.1).

maddy 0.1

Stability: This version is believed to be stable enough for use in use non-critical deployments. Backward compatibility for database structures and configuration syntax is not promised but will be maintained if possible.

Implemented features

• IMAP4rev1 (RFC 3501) server implementation with some basic extensions
• SMTP (RFC 5321) server implementation with per-source, per-destination delivery and filtering support
• Experimental local storage backend & IMAP index based on relational DB
• Sender authentication methods for inbound messages: DKIM, DMARC, SPF
• Remote server authentication methods for outbound messages: MTA-STS, DANE, DNSSEC-aware resolver, STARTTLS Everywhere rule-set support
• PAM-based user authentication (not used by default)

In the end, it is not very flexible in some corners at the moment but if you just want a generic mail server set-up, it will not be a big trouble.

Known issues

• IMAP sequence numbers are not properly synchronized, making concurrent mailbox access potentially unsafe, though the chance of actual data damage is pretty small. See issue #188 for details.
• Support for IP literals in e-mail addresses is disabled. Attempt to use them will result in a delivery error.

Note: Provided binaries do not include support for PAM authentication as it depends on system libraries in ways that are problematic to make portable. For system account authentication, you can use shadow module that reads /etc/shadow directly or maddy-pam-helper (install it into /usr/local/lib/maddy).

Attached tarballs include complete root prefix for Linux so you can just extract contents into the root directory to install maddy if you do not want to build it from source for whatever reason.

Build environment information:

• Distribution: Alpine Linux 3.11.3
• GCC: 9.1.0
• Go: 1.13.4
• musl-libc: 1.1.24

Utilities and all binaries used to build the tarball can be found here: https://foxcpp.dev/maddy-repro/. In theory it should be possible to recreate the exactly same build output using them.
