Comments only, no behaviour changed. Each main.cf/master.cf parameter the
build sets, the wrapper's and the reload hook's reliance on Postfix 3.7.11
(postfix-script, master.5, postconf.5, cleanup_init.c, smtpd_peer.c,
README_FILES), supervisor 4.2.5 (process.py, options.py, events.rst),
logrotate 3.21.0, OpenDKIM's config, Cyrus SASL's sasldb, rspamd 3.11.1
(milter_headers.lua, multimap, the map watcher), Docker Compose, CoreDNS
and certbot now say where that is written. Measurements already there stay
measurements ("date not recorded" where none was); hand-composed fixtures
say so.
Contradictions left for their own commits: C-P31 cleanup's size limit,
C-P42 master outside supervisor's signal, C-V5/V6 startsecs, C-V10,
C-S3/Q3 sasldb written in place, C-Q4/A1 certbot's symlinks, C-R7 rspamd
skips local clients but the signature routine does not, C-P8, C-R4, C-R12,
C-M7, C-E2, C-K8/K9, C-D1.

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.

Step 3/12 of docs/plans/inbound-antispam-panel.md.
The panel serves a second milter while the inbound relay is on
(internal/milter/inbound.go, socket INBOUND_JOURNAL_MILTER_SOCKET,
default /run/selfpost/inbound-journal.sock). build/postfix-config.sh
puts it last on port 25, after the optional antispam milter, with
default_action=accept; postfix-wrapper.sh waits for its socket. At
end-of-message it writes one inbound_spam_log row per recipient at an
inbound domain - other port-25 recipients (DMARC report addresses) get
none - and always accepts. With a filter attached it reads the verdict
from X-Rspamd-Action and X-Spamd-Result (action, score, up to six
weighted symbols, only what the patterns recognise, 255 bytes); without
one those headers are the sender's and are not read. The plan named
X-Rspamd-Score, which rspamd does not have.
The antispam compose fragment mounts rspamd/milter_headers.conf into
the sidecar so that it adds the two headers (checked in rspamd 3.11:
both routines exist and remove a sender's own headers of those names).
Store: InsertInboundSpam, IsInboundDomain.
Checked on the test server, uncommitted tree: go vet ./... ok,
go test ./... ok (22 packages), make e2e ok - the relayed message of
inbound_relay_delivers_and_refuses has its journal row (accept by
selfpost) and the DMARC report sent through the same listener has none.
Not yet seen in a real run: a verdict written by rspamd reaching this
milter. The e2e stand has no filter, and the test server's only inbound
domain has no upstream, so it accepts no mail.

Security review of the DMARC report path (Fable, 2026-10-11), which ran
for the first time in 2.0.0. No Critical or High finding. Fixed:
- Medium: a report was bounded only as 8 MiB of XML - some 160 000
records or one name of megabytes, all of it rows and table cells. At
most 5 000 records (more is ErrRejected, dropped), text fields cut to
255 bytes on a character boundary, a record's count capped.
- Medium: the cap of 500 reports was for the whole server, so a stranger
filing under one domain's address evicted every other domain's
reports. PruneDMARCReports counts per domain.
- Low: the pipe service ran up to default_process_limit (100) commands
at once against the panel's database; maxproc is 1.
- Low: the reason logged for a dropped message carried the sender's
bytes (header line, zip entry name) as they came; cut to 200 bytes and
reduced to printable ASCII, zip entry names quoted.
- Low: SELFPOST_DATA_DIR / SELFPOST_DB_PATH with whitespace or "$" would
reach the command through export_environment as another path; refused
at start when DMARC ingest is on.
Left as they are, told to the owner: the parse-failure count is a
lifetime figure shown under "This week"; a report larger than the
command reads is dropped as unreadable; nested multipart is not searched.
The hub's Retention line follows the design commit before this one.
security.md: the review, and the accepted-risk entry says what a
stranger can and cannot do now. The roadmap no longer calls the review
pending.
go vet ./cmd/... ./internal/dmarc/ ./internal/store/: ok
go test ./cmd/... ./internal/dmarc/ ./internal/store/ ./internal/web/...: ok
make e2e on the test server (with the port-25 scenarios of the next

The first DMARC report to reach the test server (Google, 2026-10-11
09:41 UTC) was accepted on port 25 and then sat in the queue:
postfix/pipe: fatal: missing user= command-line attribute
postfix/qmgr: warning: private/dmarc-ingest socket: malformed response
Three things stood between an accepted report and the panel, all since
the feature shipped in 1.7.0 - no report had ever been delivered:
- The service was addressed as dmarc-ingest/unix-pipe. Its type is unix:
postconf -P answered "unmatched service_name/type" for flags=, user=
and argv= (the warnings in the container log at every start), which
are arguments of pipe(8) anyway and not -o parameters, and the service
stayed a bare "pipe". For the same reason postconf -MX never removed
it. It is dmarc-ingest/unix now, with the arguments in the service line.
- pipe(8) gives the command export_environment and nothing else, so the
command would have refused to run: it reads DMARC_REPORTS_ENABLE (and
the data directory, when it is not the default) from the environment.
Those are now named in export_environment.
- The command took the recipient from RECIPIENT, which local(8) sets and
pipe(8) does not. With no recipient the check that a report came to the
address of its own domain is skipped. It is now ${recipient} in argv,
one recipient per run.
When DMARC ingest is off the service and both parameters are removed.
e2e: every port-25 combination now asks Postfix for the service and the
two parameters (postconf -M / -h), and for their absence when ingest is
off - which is how the wrong type was found. make e2e on the test
server: ok. go test ./cmd/panel/ ./internal/dmarc/ ./internal/postfix/:
ok.

Found by talking SMTP to port 25 of the test server once it answered
again (2026-10-10): RCPT TO:<dmarc-reports+bs.mixdep.ru@selfpost.mixfed.ru>
was refused with "550 5.1.1 User unknown in relay recipient table".
With INBOUND_RELAY_ENABLE and DMARC_REPORTS_ENABLE both true the server's
own name is a relay domain (for the reports) and relay_recipient_maps
lists the relay's recipients only. smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient
applies after the restriction list, so the OK that
check_recipient_access gives a report address does not help: every
report was refused. The table of report addresses is added to
relay_recipient_maps in that combination.
Checked on the server by setting the parameter in the running container
and reloading Postfix: the domain's report address is answered 250, the
former server-wide mailbox and an unknown local part 550, a foreign
domain and an inbound domain without recipients 554. e2e: the combined
case requires relay_recipient_maps to name both tables.

Seen in the System log of the test server (2026-10-10): on every
connection to port 25
postfix/smtpd: fatal: unexpected command-line argument:
texthash:/data/postfix/dmarc_recipients,reject_unauth_destination,...
postfix/master: warning: .../smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling
With DMARC_REPORTS_ENABLE=true the script wrote
-o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=check_recipient_access texthash:...,...
into master.cf. Master splits a service line on whitespace, so smtpd got
the option cut at the space plus a stray argument and died at start:
port 25 greeted nobody - no inbound relay, no DMARC reports. postconf -P
smtp/inet/smtpd_recipient_restrictions showed the cut value,
"check_recipient_access". The server's logs have it under the previous
image too (2026-10-09), so it is not from the redesign; postfix check
does not notice, and the e2e check compared the text of master.cf with
an expectation that had the space in it.
- The restriction list is written with commas only (Postfix splits it
on commas as well as whitespace).
- master_cf_set_smtp_inet_o stops the container on a value with
whitespace instead of writing it.
- e2e: for every option it checks, the port-25 case also asks
postconf -P and requires Postfix to read the same value.
Not fixed here: Postfix's start-time warnings "not owned by root" for
the queue directory and its pid/ - the entrypoint's recursive chown
again; harmless, logged at every start.
