inbound-antispam-panel: refused inbound mail from mail.log; retention
Step 4/12 of docs/plans/inbound-antispam-panel.md. The log tailer writes an inbound_spam_log row for mail port 25 refused (internal/logtail/inbound.go): a "reject:" line of the port-25 smtpd is Postfix's own policy; a milter-reject / milter-hold / milter-discard line of cleanup is the filter's verdict. Only a recipient at an inbound domain is a row, so "Relay access denied" for a stranger's domain is not. The row is dated by its log line; the reply text is cut to 255 bytes of printable ASCII; a reply starting with 4 is a tempfail. To tell port 25 from 465 / 587 the listener now logs as postfix/inbound (syslog_name). cleanup logs under one name for every listener, so its verdict counts only for a queue id the port-25 smtpd was seen to open (4096 remembered). Lines are matched from the head, after timestamp and host: their tail is the sender's own text. Retention: PruneInboundSpam every six hours - older than the inbound_spam_log_retention_days setting (seeded from INBOUND_SPAM_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS, 90, range 7-365), then down to 10 000 rows. The setting has no field in the panel yet. Known limits, in architecture.md: a log line names one recipient, so a message refused at end-of-message is one row; a line re-read after an unclean stop would be a second row. Checked on the test server, uncommitted tree: go vet ./... ok, go test ./... ok (22 packages), make e2e ok - the unknown recipient at the inbound domain refused on port 25 has its row (reject by postfix), the stranger's domain has none.
