# Changelog All notable changes to this project are documented here. Format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/); versioning follows [SemVer](https://semver.org/). ## [Unreleased] ### Changed - panel: the three monitoring pages — Deliveries, Mail queue, System log — are now laid out wider (64rem against the 48rem the rest of the panel keeps). They carry data rather than prose: the send-log's seven columns had no room to breathe, and the raw `mail.log` lines wrapped every second line. ### Fixed - panel: Deliveries now shows the subject as text rather than as its MIME encoding. A subject in any non-Latin alphabet reaches the milter as RFC 2047 encoded-words (`=?utf-8?Q?=D0=9F…?=`), and the panel printed that verbatim — unreadable, and as one unbreakable run wide enough to push the Status column outside the card. Subjects are decoded when the message is journalled and capped at 200 characters; the column clips anything still too long to one line, with the full text in the tooltip. Rows logged before this release keep their raw string. Subjects in the legacy single-byte charsets (windows-1251, koi8-r) are still stored as sent — there is no decoder for them. - panel: table cells may now break inside a word, so no single long value can push a table past the edge of its card. A 40-character recipient address did it just as readily as an undecoded subject: a column is at least as wide as the longest unbreakable run it holds, and email addresses have nothing to break on. Timestamps are exempt and stay on one line. - panel: the Applications list on a domain page no longer comes apart. It was a four-column table whose last column held six controls, two of them expanding panels with textareas — far more than the width of a column, so the controls broke into a staircase, the login cell grew into a block as tall as the row, and the two text columns were left stranded on the baseline halfway down it. An application is now a block rather than a row: the login on one line, mode and addresses on the next, and the controls in a single wrapping row, with an opened panel claiming the full width for its fields. ## [0.3.0] - 2026-08-03 ### Fixed - panel: the PTR (reverse DNS) check no longer reports a correctly published record as wrong. The checks went through the container's own resolver, which forwards to the host's systemd-resolved — and systemd-resolved answers the reverse lookup of the machine's own IP from the local hostname instead of asking public DNS. A server with `203.0.113.10 → selfpost.example.com` in DNS was told its PTR pointed at the provider-assigned hostname. All four deliverability checks (PTR, SPF, DKIM, DMARC) now query recursive resolvers directly, so the panel reports what a receiving mail server actually sees. Set `SELFPOST_DNS_RESOLVERS` if outbound port 53 is closed or you run your own recursor; it defaults to 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9. ### Changed - panel: the three monitoring pages now live at URLs that match their nav labels — Deliveries at `/deliveries` (was `/sendlog`), Mail queue at `/mail-queue` (was `/queue`), System log at `/system-log` (was `/logtail`). Bookmarks to the old paths stop working. - panel: each entry in the navigation bar now carries an icon beside its label, so the bar is scannable at a glance instead of a row of similar-length words. The icons are inline SVG drawn in the entry's own colour — no extra request, no exemption from the panel's Content-Security-Policy — and are hidden from screen readers, which still announce the label alone. - panel: the navigation bar is laid out as two rows on purpose — the signed-in user, Account and Sign out along the top right, the page entries below. It no longer fits on one line and used to wrap on its own, which left the session block sitting left-aligned under the entries as if it were more navigation. ## [0.2.0] - 2026-08-03 - panel: every authenticated page now ends with the running version (`SelfPost 0.2.0`) in a small footer. It is the value a backup manifest is checked against on restore, and the first thing to establish when the panel behaves unexpectedly. The login and setup pages deliberately do not show it. - panel: the domain page now shows the **SPF and DMARC records it expects**, with host, value and a Copy button, next to the DKIM record it already showed — previously it only said "also configure SPF and DMARC (see the documentation)" and the concrete example appeared only once a check had already failed. The SPF value names the addresses this server's hostname resolves to (falling back to an `a:` mechanism if it does not resolve), and the DNS checks below build their remediation advice from the same source, so the page and its checks cannot recommend different records. - panel: one appearance for actions. Several controls — a POST wrapped in an inline form (Re-check, Export domain, Sign out, New password…), the `
` toggles in the applications table, the delete links — used to render as bold blue text while everything else was a button, so the same kind of control looked like two different things, sometimes within one card. They are all buttons now: filled for a card's own action, compact and outlined where actions cluster in a table row or the nav bar. The two actions that are really navigations — "Delete domain" and the status page's "Full queue" — are anchors carrying the same button styling. A bare link is left only where it reads as part of a sentence, a table cell or the nav. - panel: on the domain page **Add an application** now sits directly above the **Applications** list — the same order the domains page uses for its own add form — instead of being stranded below the domain rate limit. - ci: hermetic container e2e suite (`test/e2e`, a separate Go module) gates image publishing — `make e2e` locally, and `go test ./...` in `test/e2e` as a required step in `release.yml` before a version tag's image is pushed. It builds the real image, brings up the shipped `deploy/docker-compose.yml` plus a test-only override (self-signed cert, low ports, a fake DNS zone served by CoreDNS, a `smtp-sink` sink-MX) on an isolated compose project, then drives the panel over HTTP exactly like an administrator: setup → login → add a domain → publish the DKIM record it prints into the fake zone → add an application → send over SMTP AUTH → verify the delivered message's DKIM signature against the record the panel published → poll the send log to `sent`. Negative coverage: no-AUTH and unauthenticated-relay rejection, sender/login mismatch, the level-1 (anvil) and level-2 (panel-configured) rate limits, the journal-milter's fail-open behaviour when the panel process is stopped, a missing/malformed `SELFPOST_HOSTNAME` failing the container fast, and a login session surviving `docker restart`. `release.yml` moved off qemu to a native per-architecture build (`ubuntu-latest` / `ubuntu-24.04-arm`), each gated by this suite before its tag is pushed and merged into the version manifest — running the full Postfix/OpenDKIM stack under emulation for the gate was impractically slow. - ops: `mail.log` rotation switched from `copytruncate` to rename + `postfix reload` (the same mechanism `postfix logrotate` itself uses), eliminating the up-to-one-second window in which `copytruncate` could drop in-flight delivery lines — a lost line meant a send-log row stuck at `queued` forever. `logrotate-mail.conf` keeps `create 0644 root root` rather than `nocreate`: verified on a live container that letting Postfix recreate the file itself on reload produces `0600`, which the unprivileged panel process cannot read, breaking the mail-log view until the next restart. The panel's log-tailer (`internal/logtail`) re-drains the old file descriptor once more right before switching to the rotated one, closing a similar small window between polls; a missing `mail.log` right after rotation is now a normal empty screen rather than a logged error. - panel: login sessions now persist in SQLite instead of memory, so an administrator's login survives a container restart or redeploy. Only the SHA-256 of the session token is stored, never the token itself. The absolute 12-hour TTL is replaced by a **sliding idle timeout** (`PANEL_SESSION_IDLE_DAYS`, default 7 days, no absolute cap): the monitoring screens' background polling does not count as activity, so a forgotten open tab does not keep a session alive forever. Changing the password still signs out every other session. - panel: security headers on every response — `Content-Security-Policy`, `X-Content-Type-Options`, `X-Frame-Options`, `Referrer-Policy`, and `Strict-Transport-Security` where the deployment is HTTPS-only. They are emitted by the panel itself, so the reverse proxy still needs no security configuration of its own. - panel: state-changing requests are now checked against the panel's own origin (`Sec-Fetch-Site`, falling back to `Origin` vs `Host`). This closes cross-site request forgery from a *neighbouring host on the same domain* — a CMS or a forgotten staging subdomain next to the panel — which the session cookie's `SameSite=Lax` counts as same-site and therefore cannot stop. A request that sends neither header is still let through, so genuinely ancient browsers keep working. **The reverse proxy must pass the original `Host` header through** (every shipped fragment already does); one that rewrites it makes the panel refuse every form submission, and the log line names both the `Origin` and the `Host` it compared. - panel: the session cookie is now named `__Host-selfpost_session` wherever it is `Secure` (the standard deployment), which makes the browser enforce that no other host can set or overwrite it. **Upgrading signs the administrator out once.** With `PANEL_COOKIE_SECURE=false` the old name is kept, because the prefix is invalid without TLS. Signing out clears both names. - panel: if a request arrives with two cookies of the session cookie's name — what a neighbouring host does when it overwrites the session — the request counts as signed out and the log says so, instead of the panel silently picking the other host's value and looping back to the login form forever. - panel: the layout's stylesheet moved to `/static/panel.css` and the confirmation prompts on destructive buttons moved into `/static/panel.js`. No visible change; the panel's CSP allows no inline script or style, and this is what keeps that policy free of exemptions. - docs: the first-run setup link is also written to `/data/setup-token` (`0600`) — documented in the README as the way to read it without the token passing through a container-log pipeline. - panel: new **Status** page — supervised processes, mail queue, TLS certificate expiry, milter sockets and the server's own hostname/reverse-DNS (FCrDNS) check — and it is now the panel's landing page. The local checks refresh by polling; the DNS lookup is cached with a *Re-check* button. - panel: the domain page shows a **DNS status** card: the published DKIM record compared against the key this server actually signs with, plus SPF and DMARC. The SPF check is deliberately shallow — it looks for a mechanism literally covering this server's address and does not follow `include:`/`redirect=`, so a record that authorises the server through an include is reported as "cannot tell", not as a failure. - panel: the domain list moved from `/` to `/domains`; `/` redirects to the status page. The **Reload** button moved from the domain list to the status page and now explains what it regenerates and when to use it. - fix: the panel could never read the mail queue in the documented deployment. `postqueue` relies on its setgid-`postdrop` bit, which `no-new-privileges` (set in the shipped compose file) disables, so the *Queue* screen always said "Could not read the mail queue". The `panel` user is now a real member of `postdrop`. - panel: navigation bar is now rendered once from the shared layout, so every authenticated page has it — including the domain page and the delete confirmation, which had no navigation links at all — and the current page is highlighted instead of silently missing from the list. - panel: new *Account* page to change the administrator's username and/or password (the current password is required, throttled on the same limiter as the login form). Changing the password invalidates all other sessions. - panel: *Backup & migration* moved off the domain list onto its own *Backup* page, with the full backup and the domain import as two separate cards. - panel: the domain page now shows the *Sending server settings* (server, port and encryption) needed to configure a mail client; port 587 is listed only when `SUBMISSION_ENABLE=true` for this deployment. - panel: *Copy* buttons on the DKIM record, on a newly issued application login/password and on the sending server name. - panel: the *Addresses* field is hidden while an application's address mode is *Any address of the domain*, where the server ignores it. - ci: disable provenance attestation on release image push, so the ghcr.io manifest list shows only `linux/amd64`/`linux/arm64` (no `unknown/unknown`). - ci: run `go vet` and `go test ./...` on every push to `main` and every pull request, not only the image build on a release tag. - security: optionally honour `X-Forwarded-For` for login/setup rate-limiting when the request's direct peer is in the new `TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDR` list, giving real per-client limits behind a reverse proxy instead of one global bucket. Unset by default (unchanged `RemoteAddr`-only behaviour). ## [0.1.0] - 2026-07-15 Initial feature-complete implementation of the v1.0 specification (phases 0-11 of `docs/implementation-plan.md`). ### Added - Panel (Go, single static binary) with SQLite persistence, one-time crypto-random setup link, bcrypt admin auth, session cookies. - Domain management with per-domain DKIM (RSA-2048, generated in pure Go) and OpenDKIM KeyTable/SigningTable regeneration + privilege-safe reload. - Application (sender identity) management: SASL credentials via `sasldb2`, `smtpd_sender_login_maps` enforcing sender/domain ownership, no open relay. - Full Postfix relay config generated from env at container start: SMTPS 465, optional STARTTLS submission 587, SASL auth, TLS for outbound delivery, anvil-based rate limiting (level 1). - Journal milter (pure Go, `go-milter`) recording every send to `send_log`; fail-open by design so a milter fault never blocks mail. - Monitoring UI: send log, Postfix queue, and mail.log tail, all HTMX-polling, HTML-escaped. - Per-domain/per-application sending rate limit (level 2), enforced in the journal milter at `MAIL FROM`, fail-open on the limiter's own errors. - Full backup/restore (`tar.gz` of `/data`, consistent SQLite snapshot via `VACUUM INTO`) with a version guard that refuses to start on a manifest/binary version mismatch. Per-domain export/import for moving a single domain between hosts without re-issuing DNS records. - Deployment: Docker image + compose, reverse-proxy fragments for Apache (default), nginx, Caddy, and Traefik; CI workflow publishing tagged, multi-arch images to `ghcr.io` on `vX.Y.Z` tags. - Security pass against spec 7.6 (exec safety, config-write sanitization, server-side validation, rate limiting, session/cookie hardening, output escaping, non-root panel) — full compliance, no code changes required. - Live production deployment on `selfpost.example.com` with a real Let's Encrypt certificate; end-to-end delivery confirmed (DKIM pass, SPF pass).
