To send mails, today some tests use msmtp and others our internal smtpc.py.
This works, but msmtp slows down the tests significantly, and smtpc.py
is also not particularly fast, and also has some limitations.
This patch introduces a new SMTP client tool written in Go, and makes
almost all the tests use it.
Some tests still remain on msmtp, mainly for client-check compatibility.
It's likely that this will be moved in later patches to a separate
special-purpose test.
With this patch, integration tests take ~20% less time than before.
This patch updates the shell scripts with some of the common best
practices, which should make them more resilient to unusual failures and
unexpected environments (in particular, directories with spaces).
Most of these were identified by shellcheck.
Most integration tests depend on the $HOSTALIASES environment variable
being functional. That variable works on most systems, but not all. In
particular, systems with `systemd-resolved` can cause the variable to be
ignored.
This was reported by Alex Ellwein in
https://github.com/albertito/chasquid/issues/20.
This patch makes the affected tests to be skipped if $HOSTALIASES is not
working properly. It also removes unnecessary hosts files from tests
which don't need it, and documents this behaviour.
Thanks to Alex Ellwein and foxcpp@ for reporting and helping investigate
this issue!
Currently, chasquid exits if any mode (SMTP/submission/submission+tls)
has no addresses to listen on. This means that chasquid must be given
addresses for all three.
While that's generally the expected configuration, there are cases where
users may not want to have all three.
So this patch replaces that fatal error with a warning, and only makes
chasquid exit if there are no addresses to listen on at all.
This patch adds support for TLS-wrapped submission connections.
Instead of clients establishing a connection over plain text and then
using STARTTLS to switch over a TLS connection, this new mode allows the
clients to connect directly over TLS, like it's done in HTTPS.
This is not an official standard yet, but it's reasonably common in
practice, and provides some advantages over the traditional submission
port.
The default port is 465, commonly used for this; chasquid defaults to
systemd file descriptor passing as for the other protocols (for now).
glog works fine and has great features, but it does not play along well
with systemd or standard log rotators (as it does the rotation itself).
So this patch replaces glog with a new logging module "log", which by
default logs to stderr, in a systemd-friendly manner.
Logging to files or syslog is still supported.
The default INFO logs are more oriented towards debugging and can be
a bit too verbose when looking for high-level information.
This patch introduces a new "maillog" package, used to log messages of
particular relevance to mail transmission at a higher level.
We should ignore the domains' case, and treat them uniformly, specially when it
comes to local domains.
This patch extends the existing normalization (IDNA, keeping domains as
UTF8 internally) to include case conversion and NFC form for
consistency.
This patch adds initial support for SMTPUTF8, which for now consists of just
advertising it.
We support most of it, but sending emails over SMTP requires further work, as
the SMTP courier does not support this yet (it's not in Go's standard
library). That will come in subsequent patches, along with IDNA handling.
