panel-dkim-signing: the queue by name, and findings of the reviews
test / test (push) Canceled after 0s
test / test (push) Canceled after 0s
The first rollout of faa3c11 to the test server crash-looped: without
opendkim the image's package accounts got other numbers (postfix 101 ->
100, postdrop 103 -> 102), the queue under /data kept the old ones, and
postsuper, which "postfix check" runs as the mail owner
(src/postsuper/postsuper.c:1442), could not open it. Rolled back within
five minutes. The entrypoint now hands an existing queue to Postfix's users
by name before postfix-config.sh, and again after it (own_queue).
Technical review (F1-F10):
- F1 high: a backup of an upgraded installation carried /data/opendkim, a
restore left it root's, and the panel refused every start. The tree is
left out of archives, and the entrypoint makes it the panel's alone
(0700/0600; also the security review's F3 - nothing of 2.8 needs the
group any more; a 2.7.x start re-normalises it).
- F2: List-Unsubscribe-Post is signed (RFC 8058); Sender too (security F1).
- F3: SetServerName keeps the name in lower case - a key written under
"Mail.Example.com" was never found. Only the DKIM side: the SASL realm
is compared as written.
- F4: the signer rewrites the selector table at every start
(WriteSelectors, replacing EnsureServerSigned), and tries again every
10 s while a rewrite fails.
- F5: e2e signature_over_awkward_headers (folded, tab-led, no space, two
To:, 8-bit body, List-Unsubscribe-Post) checked by dkimpy;
TestStartsOnA27Data starts on a 2.7 /data (old key tree, a queue of
foreign numbers) and checks the copied key signs, the old tree's modes
and the queue's owners; unit tests for repeated headers and the header
limit.
- F6: the table's writers are serialised (tableMu).
- F7: the table is read for every message; keys the table no longer names
are dropped from memory.
- F8: the signature's value brings its own space (SMFIP_HDR_LEADSPC gets
none from Postfix, cleanup_milter.c:1085).
- F9: a body line over 998 bytes is logged with its domain: Postfix's SMTP
client breaks it after signing (smtp_proto.c:1266-1274).
- F10: the keys are copied while /data/dkim holds none (not only when it
is absent), after the old tree is made the panel's (an install from 2.6
had another uid); the plan's rollback note says what a rollback keeps.
Security review: F2 a header section over 1 MiB is refused (552 5.3.4)
and the kept headers freed once the block is built - fifty connections of
header-only messages could take the panel down; F5 the shown headers a
message has (Subject, Date, To, Cc, Reply-To, Sender) are over-signed,
only when present, since cleanup adds a missing Date: after the milters.
F1 (holding Sender: to the login like From:) changes what is refused and
waits for the owner.

- the keys as they were at the upgrade: a domain added under 2.8.x is not
|

in that tree, and 2.7.x sends its mail unsigned; one re-added under 2.8.x
|

has another key there. Going forward again after a rollback, a domain

added under 2.7.x has its key only in the old tree: remove `/data/dkim`

before the start, and the entrypoint copies again (it copies while

`/data/dkim` holds no key).
