+# Plan: inbound-antispam-panel
+
+**Status:** agreed  
+**Date:** 2026-08-19  
+**Version:** `1.10.0` MINOR (opt-in; no change to outbound-only or inbound-without-filter paths).
+
+---
+
+## Goal
+
+Give the operator a **panel view of inbound anti-spam decisions** and **editable
+allow/deny lists** that tune filter behaviour — without SelfPost shipping or
+starting an anti-spam engine ([product.md](../product.md) out-of-scope list
+unchanged).
+
+Typical journal row:
+
+| When | From | To | Subject | Decision |
+|------|------|----|---------|----------|
+| 2026-08-19 09:14 | `spammer@evil.example` | `user@inbound.example` | Cheap pills | reject (rspamd: BAYES_SPAM +0.95) |
+
+Lists let the operator correct false positives/negatives (e.g. always allow
+`billing@vendor.example`, block `192.0.2.0/24`).
+
+## Context (as-built)
+
+- Inbound relay ships in `[1.4.0]` (`INBOUND_RELAY_ENABLE`); optional
+  `INBOUND_ANTISPAM_MILTER` attaches an **external** filter (documented rspamd
+  sidecar in [deploy/antispam/docker-compose.antispam.yml](../../deploy/antispam/docker-compose.antispam.yml)).
+- The inbound smtpd has **no journal-milter** today — only outbound 465/587
+  writes `send_log` ([architecture.md](../architecture.md)).
+- Inbound UI and handlers are **global-administrator only** today
+  (`requireInbound` → `requireGlobal`).
+
+## Quarantine
+
+**Not in this plan.** Held-mail review/release is tracked separately as roadmap
+candidate [inbound-quarantine](inbound-quarantine.md). The journal may still
+record a `quarantine` **decision label** when the external filter reports it,
+without SelfPost storing the message.
+
+**DMARC `p=quarantine`** remains unrelated (outbound policy for receivers).
+
+## Decisions (closed 2026-08-19)
+
+### Capture mechanism
+
+**Inbound journal-milter in `panel` only** — no rspamd history API polling in v1.
+A separate unix socket (`INBOUND_JOURNAL_MILTER_SOCKET`, default
+`/run/selfpost/inbound-journal.sock`) on the inbound smtpd only; fail-open
+(`default_action=accept`).
+
+**Milter order on port 25** (when antispam is enabled):
+
+```text
+smtpd_milters = { antispam, inbound-journal }
+```
+
+Antispam runs first; inbound-journal runs at end-of-message on the **accept**
+path and reads rspamd-added headers (`X-Rspamd-Action`, `X-Rspamd-Score`, symbol
+summary when present).
+
+**Antispam rejects** do not reach end-of-message on the journal milter. v1 also
+tails `mail.log` for inbound `postfix/smtpd` **`milter-reject`** / **`reject`**
+lines and inserts journal rows (client IP, envelope from/to when logged, reason
+text, subject empty if rejected before DATA). DMARC-ingest pipe traffic is out
+of scope for this tailer.
+
+### Journal without `INBOUND_ANTISPAM_MILTER`
+
+Journal stays **on** whenever `INBOUND_RELAY_ENABLE=true` (not tied to the
+antispam hook). Without an external filter:
+
+- **accept** rows — message relayed (engine `selfpost`, detail empty);
+- **reject** / **tempfail** rows — from the mail.log tailer (Postfix policy,
+  size limit, unknown recipient, etc.).
+
+Panel copy explains that rspamd symbols appear only when the antispam milter is
+configured.
+
+### RBAC
+
+**Global administrator only** for journal and lists — same as inbound relay. No
+domain-admin access in v1.
+
+### Retention
+
+Mirror send-log retention:
+
+- Settings key `inbound_spam_log_retention_days` on `/settings` (global admin).
+- Default **90** days; validation **7–365**; seed from env
+  `INBOUND_SPAM_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS` when the setting is missing.
+- Prune every **6 hours** (same cadence as send-log retention).
+- Hard cap **10 000** rows after age prune (drop oldest) — busier than DMARC
+  reports, lighter than unbounded growth.
+
+### Allow/deny lists
+
+| Topic | Decision |
+|-------|----------|
+| Entry types | sender address, sender domain (`@domain` suffix), client IP / CIDR |
+| Precedence | **deny overrides allow** |
+| Scope | instance-wide (not per inbound domain in v1) |
+| Where applied | **rspamd map files** under `/data/antispam/` (allow.map, deny.map); documented compose fragment mounts them into the sidecar |
+| SelfPost pre-check | **out of v1** — lists live in rspamd only |
+| Edit access | global administrator only |
+| When inactive | lists editable in the panel but UI warns that sync applies only when `INBOUND_ANTISPAM_MILTER` is set; `postfix reload` / rspamd reload documented in guide |
+
+List change → atomic map rewrite (same pattern as Postfix maps) → rspamd reload
+via documented operator step or sidecar `SIGHUP` in the compose fragment.
+
+### Activation
+
+| Condition | Behaviour |
+|-----------|-----------|
+| `INBOUND_RELAY_ENABLE=false` | no inbound journal milter, no UI, no tables written |
+| inbound on, antispam empty | journal + UI; lists visible but marked inactive for filter sync |
+| inbound on + antispam set | full journal (symbols on accept) + list sync |
+
+No separate feature flag beyond inbound relay + existing antispam env vars.
+
+### UI
+
+New nav item **Inbound spam** (or subsection under **Inbound**) — journal table
+with filters (decision, domain, date range), list management on the same page or
+a tab. Mockup: add `docs/assets/panel-ui/inbound_spam.html` in the panel step.
+
+## Schema (migration `0010_inbound_spam_log.sql`)
+
+**`inbound_spam_log`**
+
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+|--------|------|-------|
+| `id` | INTEGER PK | |
+| `inbound_domain` | TEXT NOT NULL | recipient domain (from `relay_domains`) |
+| `client_ip` | TEXT NOT NULL | |
+| `from_addr` | TEXT NOT NULL | envelope from |
+| `to_addr` | TEXT NOT NULL | envelope to (one row per recipient) |
+| `subject` | TEXT NOT NULL | truncated with `mailhdr.SubjectMaxRunes` (200) |
+| `decision` | TEXT NOT NULL | `accept`, `reject`, `tempfail`, `quarantine` |
+| `engine` | TEXT NOT NULL | `rspamd`, `postfix`, `selfpost` |
+| `detail` | TEXT NOT NULL | symbol/score summary or log-line reason; may be empty |
+| `created_at` | TEXT NOT NULL | RFC3339 UTC |
+
+Index on `(created_at)`, `(inbound_domain, created_at)`.
+
+**`inbound_spam_list`**
+
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+|--------|------|-------|
+| `id` | INTEGER PK | |
+| `list_type` | TEXT NOT NULL | `allow` or `deny` |
+| `entry_type` | TEXT NOT NULL | `address`, `domain`, `ip` |
+| `value` | TEXT NOT NULL | normalized entry |
+| `note` | TEXT NOT NULL | operator comment; default `''` |
+| `created_at` | TEXT NOT NULL | |
+
+Unique on `(list_type, entry_type, value)`.
+
+## Scope
+
+**In:**
+
+- Schema, store CRUD, retention loop, mail.log tailer extension for inbound
+  rejects.
+- Inbound journal-milter (fail-open) + Postfix `postfix-config.sh` wiring.
+- rspamd map sync under `/data/antispam/`.
+- Panel journal + list UI (global admin).
+- Full backup includes `/data/antispam/` and new SQLite tables.
+- Tests; [guide.md](../guide.md); [architecture.md](../architecture.md).
+
+**Out:**
+
+- Shipping rspamd, ClamAV, or any filter binary inside the SelfPost image.
+- Outbound spam filtering.
+- [inbound-quarantine.md](inbound-quarantine.md) storage/release.
+- rspamd rule editing, Bayes training UI, antivirus.
+- MIME replay from the panel (metadata only).
+- Per-domain lists; domain-admin RBAC.
+- rspamd history API polling.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+  internet["Internet :25"] --> inbound["Postfix inbound smtpd"]
+  inbound --> antispam["External antispam milter optional"]
+  antispam --> journalM["inbound-journal milter fail-open"]
+  journalM --> upstream["smtp upstream transport"]
+  journalM --> sqlite["inbound_spam_log"]
+  mailog["mail.log tailer"] --> sqlite
+  listsUI["Panel allow/deny lists"] --> maps["/data/antispam/*.map"]
+  maps --> antispam
+  sqlite --> journalUI["Panel inbound spam journal"]
+```
+
+## Security
+
+- Same validation whitelists as inbound relay ([security.md](../security.md)).
+- Journal rows contain PII — retention and global-admin-only access.
+- Inbound journal milter fail-open must not block mail (backup-MX role).
+- List map writes injection-safe; deny wins over allow.
+
+## Done when
+
+- With inbound relay + antispam sidecar, panel shows accept rows with symbols
+  and reject rows from mail.log tailing.
+- Operator can add/remove list entries; a test message reflects allow/deny.
+- With antispam hook off, journal still shows Postfix-level decisions; list UI
+  shows inactive sync notice.
+- `go vet`, `go test`, image build green; guide and architecture updated.
+
+## Risks
+
+- rspamd header/symbol format drift — thin parser, pin sidecar tag in compose.
+- Journal volume — retention + 10k cap.
+- mail.log parse brittleness — unit tests on sample lines; inbound smtpd only.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- [inbound-relay.md](inbound-relay.md) (shipped).
+
+## Model routing (this plan)
+
+| Role | Model |
+|------|-------|
+| All implementation (code, tests, docs) | **Composer** |
+| Technical review (reviewer ≠ author) | **Opus** |
+| Security review | **Fable** |
+
+Composer ships each step; Opus reviews the accumulated diff once implementation
+steps are done (fix loop: Composer addresses Opus findings, Opus re-checks).
+Fable runs after Opus sign-off.
+
+## Implementation checklist

+# Plan: inbound-quarantine
+
+**Status:** candidate — design TBD; needs explicit agreement before any code  
+**Version:** TBD (`1.x` MINOR if opt-in and backward-compatible; may warrant `2.x`
+if it changes inbound storage or backup contract).
+
+---
+
+## Goal (draft)
+
+Let the operator **hold suspicious inbound mail** instead of only accept/reject
+at the milter — review in the panel, then release to the configured upstream,
+delete, or add sender to allow/deny lists.
+
+This is a **product boundary question**, not a settled design. The item exists
+so we can compare approaches before committing.
+
+## Why it is separate from inbound-antispam-panel
+
+[inbound-antispam-panel.md](inbound-antispam-panel.md) covers **metadata**
+(journal + lists). Quarantine implies **storing message bodies** (or a durable
+reference to them) under `/data`, retention, release workflow, and a wider
+attack/backup surface — closer to "mini-mailbox" than pure relay.
+
+## Open questions (to decide before a checklist)
+
+1. **Where mail lives**
+   - SelfPost store under `/data/quarantine/` (panel owns lifecycle), or
+   - delegate to rspamd/Redis and panel only proxies release (less storage in
+     SelfPost, tighter rspamd coupling).
+2. **What "release" means**
+   - inject into Postfix as a new delivery to the domain's upstream transport;
+   - or manual download only (no automatic forward).
+3. **Retention and caps**
+   - max age, max total bytes, per-domain limits; interaction with backup size.
+4. **RBAC**
+   - global admin only vs domain-admin for assigned inbound domains.
+5. **Threat model**
+   - malware in stored MIME, path traversal on extract, quota DoS on busy MX.
+6. **Product fit**
+   - does this violate [product.md](../product.md) "no mailboxes" if we only
+     hold spam suspects briefly? Explicit product decision required.
+
+## Context (as-built)
+
+- Inbound relay forwards or rejects; no local delivery ([inbound-relay.md](inbound-relay.md)).
+- Optional `INBOUND_ANTISPAM_MILTER` — external rspamd may quarantine on its
+  own today, without panel integration.
+- DMARC `p=quarantine` is unrelated (outbound policy for receivers).
+
+## Likely out of scope (until revisited)
+
+- IMAP/webmail for quarantined mail.
+- End-user self-service quarantine (non-admin recipients).
+- Outbound quarantine.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- [inbound-relay.md](inbound-relay.md) (shipped).
+- Sensible to decide **after** or **alongside**
+  [inbound-antispam-panel.md](inbound-antispam-panel.md) (journal/lists), but
+  not blocked on it for design discussion.
+
+## Done when (placeholder)
+
+TBD once approach is chosen. Minimum bar would include: opt-in flag, panel
+list/detail, release or discard action, retention, backup inclusion documented,
+security review.
+
+## Implementation checklist
+
+None yet — expand this plan after the open questions above are answered.

+## inbound-antispam-panel
+
+**Goal:** panel view of inbound anti-spam decisions (when, from, to, subject,
+action) plus editable allow/deny lists that tune the external filter — without
+shipping rspamd or another engine inside the image.
+
+**Boundary:** metadata journal and list sync only; SelfPost does not run the
+filter ([product.md](product.md)). Quarantine:
+[inbound-quarantine](#inbound-quarantine). Design closed in
+[plans/inbound-antispam-panel.md](plans/inbound-antispam-panel.md) § Decisions.
+
+**Done when:** with inbound relay enabled, the operator sees journal rows
+(accepts via inbound-journal milter, rejects via mail.log tailer) and can
+maintain instance-wide allow/deny lists synced to rspamd maps when the antispam
+hook is set.
+
+**Dependencies / risks:** inbound relay `[1.4.0]`; rspamd map/header coupling;
+journal PII; global-admin-only RBAC.
+
+**Version:** `1.10.0` MINOR; **agreed**.
+
+---
+
+## inbound-quarantine
+
+**Goal:** optional hold for suspicious inbound mail — review in the panel, then
+release to upstream, discard, or tune lists. Design not settled.
+
+**Boundary:** expands inbound from pure relay toward short-lived message
+storage; may conflict with "no mailboxes" in [product.md](product.md) until
+product explicitly agrees. Alternatives (rspamd-only quarantine vs SelfPost
+store) are listed in [plans/inbound-quarantine.md](plans/inbound-quarantine.md).
+
+**Done when:** TBD after open questions in the plan are answered.
+
+**Dependencies / risks:** inbound relay `[1.4.0]`; storage/retention/backup
+size; malware in held MIME; overlap with
