mixandClaude Opus 5.5 89fd0a6116 from-header-binding: findings of the technical and security reviews
test / test (push) Canceled after 0s
Details 
Both reviews were of c171fb5, read-only, given the code and questions.

Found by both, and the one that would have refused ordinary mail from the
first day: a folded From: line - what a mail library makes of a long display
name - did not parse and was refused with 550. The line is unfolded before it
is read. e2e sends one through Postfix now.

Technical (Opus)
- A display name in a charset Go does not convert (windows-1251, koi8-r) was
  refused: such a name is passed through unread, only the address is judged.
- The statistics ran between binding the socket and serving it, with a
  supervisorctl that has no timeout: they are kept beside the check now and
  nothing of them is waited for. A supervisorctl that fails is logged.
- The count of deferred mail followed smtpd's reject lines and so missed a
  check that stops answering in the middle of a message, where cleanup
  writes them: it is taken at Postfix's warning, the line that names the
  socket. The test line for that case had been invented with the wrong
  process; it is marked as composed from Postfix's source.
- A card whose figures could not be read showed zeros and "ok": dashes and
  "unknown".
- entrypoint removes the sockets a killed container left, which satisfied
  the wrapper's wait before the check was listening.
- Outside quoted strings the line may hold one "@" only - a rule that needs
  no knowledge of OpenDKIM's parser.
- Comments that still spoke of two sockets, or of a session replaced after a
  refusal; the limits of the cards layout on a phone, said where it is defined.

Security (Fable; no Critical or High)
- Another sender's name in an encoded display name passed the second look:
  the decoded name is looked at as well.
- A client could arm the deferred counter by sending the socket's name where
  Postfix quotes it in a warning: the two warnings are matched from their
  first word.
- A refused message wrote a row per recipient: one row, naming the first
  recipient and how many more.
- Docs: the check's lookup is stricter than Postfix's for address extensions
  and the case of logins, rather than "cannot disagree"; what a display name
  looks like to a person is not promised; the timeouts and the 454 at AUTH
  stated as they are; "messages" are connections turned away.

Left as found, in the plan: downtime that crosses midnight is booked on the
day of the restart; a message with the null envelope sender leaves a row
without a domain; a log read again after an unclean stop counts again.

Test server, this tree: go vet ok, go test 23 packages ok, make e2e ok (330 s).

mixandClaude Opus 5.5 c171fb5bc7 from-header-binding: the sender check, what it costs, its pages; guide, architecture, security
test / test (push) Canceled after 0s
Details 
A message's From: line is held against the application that sends it, under
the rule Postfix holds the envelope sender to. OpenDKIM chooses the key by
that line, so until now an application could have mail signed as another
domain of the server or as the server itself.

The check (internal/milter/sender.go)
- A role of the panel on a socket of its own (SENDER_CHECK_SOCKET), first in
  smtpd_milters and strict: default_action=tempfail. The journal milter keeps
  its socket and stays fail-open. postfix-wrapper waits for the new socket.
- It reads no database: what an application may send as comes from Postfix's
  own sender_login_maps, what the server signs for from OpenDKIM's
  SigningTable. Both are read again when they change; one that cannot be
  read defers mail.
- One From: field, one address, allowed by the envelope's lookup; then no
  other name of the SigningTable may appear anywhere in the raw line.
  Refused: 550 5.7.1 naming the line, reduced to printable ASCII.
- A refusal is a send-log row with reason "from" and the header address
  (migration 0006), written by another goroutine and not waited for. The
  journal's refusals record their reason too (limit, client), and the
  notifier takes only a limit's.

What it costs (docs/plans/from-header-binding.md, Statistics)
- The role marks itself alive every 2 s; at start the gap since the mark is
  downtime, counted from Postfix's start if later and not at all when
  supervisord says Postfix is not running.
- The log tailer counts the connections Postfix turned away: a warning that
  names the socket, then milter-reject "Service unavailable" from the same
  smtpd. Seen on the stand: the client is refused from CONNECT on and leaves
  at AUTH (454), so no MAIL line is ever written.
- sender_check_days, a row per UTC day, kept a year.

Pages
- Health: the card "Sender check", the socket's row, and the cards layout -
  boxes numbered by importance in two stacks read in rows; the left stack
  polls, the three readings of the right one are swapped in by id.
- Outbound log: a refused row says why in its tag (wrong From, wrong client,
  rate-limited); the message's page shows the From: line and what the
  application may send as.
- Help: topic "Sender check", word for word the mockup's.

Found by the stand, fixed here: the names for the second look came from the
sender bindings, and a domain with a key and no application yet was not
among them.

e2e: negative_journal_milter_fail_open is gone - it proved that mail passes
with the panel down, which is no longer so. In its place
sender_check_holds_the_from_line (another domain's From:, the hostname's, a
stranger's, an address off the list, another sender in the display name -
refused; own addresses - delivered) and panel_down_defers_mail (4xx with the
panel stopped, the container alive, mail again after, downtime and one
deferred message on Health, the card warning).

Test server, this tree before the last cosmetic edits (a fixture row, a
fact's size, docs): go vet ok, go test 23 packages ok, make e2e ok (337 s).
Locally after them: internal/web/view ok.

mixandClaude Opus 5.5 28ec784ae2 inbound-antispam-panel: inbound journal milter on port 25 
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.
