## [Unreleased]
### Added
- A **Delivery log** on each delivery's page (`/deliveries/{id}`): the
`mail.log` lines Postfix wrote about that message, oldest first — the
connection to the receiving server, its reply, and the status that reply was
filed as. It is a table of two columns, when and what, so the seconds between
the connection and the reply line up down one edge; the timestamp is the
log's own wall clock without its microseconds and offset, and a line whose
head is not a timestamp keeps its whole text under *Message*
(`logtail.SplitTimestamp`, which reads both postlogd's format and syslog's).
The queue id was printed on this page as something to go and search
the system log for by hand; the search is done for the operator instead
(`logtail.QueueLines`). The read is a bounded tail of the current log and
matches only lines carrying this message's queue id, anchored so a shorter id
is not found inside a longer one. Send-log rows outlive `mail.log` — retention
is ninety days, rotation keeps fourteen files — so a message with no lines
left says so rather than reporting a failure.
- A **History** block on the same page: the journal's two timestamps stated as
the steps they stand for — accepted and queued, then delivered, deferred,
bounced, or refused before queueing — each with the status it reached in the
panel's own ok/warn/error/unknown badge vocabulary. A message still queued
shows the delivery report it is waiting for as a step that has not happened.
### Changed
- The delivery page is laid out in two columns: what the journal recorded on
the left, what happened to the message on the right, and the delivery log at
full width under both. The facts the page used to stack one per line — domain,
application, queue id, journal id and the two timestamps — are a grid of tiles
instead, since a page of mostly empty rows was what the full-width stack came
to for six short values. The subject heads the page and the sender, recipient
and outcome are the line under it, so what the message was and how it ended
are both on the first line. The page takes the whole column rather than the
reading measure, as the other three monitoring pages already did.
- `docs/development.md` restructured into stack, dependencies, build, release,
testing, and CI; agent rules moved to `.cursor/rules/agent-rules.mdc`;
dev-host-specific workflow and `mixfed.ru` references removed from docs.
- `docs/development.md` and `.cursor/rules/agent-rules.mdc` translated to
English; `progress.md` and `roadmap.md` remain Russian (internal tracker).
## [0.6.0] - 2026-08-08
### Added
- A page per delivery (`/deliveries/{id}`), reached from the *Details* link on
every send-log row. It carries what the log itself no longer shows — the
sending domain, the application the message was submitted under, the Postfix
queue id to search the system log for, when the status was last reported —
so the journal can grow fields without the table having to find columns for
them. *Back* returns to the page and filters the row was opened from, rebuilt
from the log's own parameters only.
- A **DNS** badge in the domain list, one per row, carrying the same
ok/warn/error/unknown vocabulary as the rest of the panel: the worst of that
domain's DKIM, SPF and DMARC checks, so a domain whose records were never
published is visible without opening it. The badge links to that domain's
DNS status card. The checks run concurrently across the listed domains —
each carries its own timeout, and in series a dead resolver would multiply
that wait by the number of domains — and share the checker's cache with the
domain page, so a repeat view costs no lookups. A domain whose DKIM key
cannot be read stays "unknown" rather than being reported as misconfigured,
since the missing half is this server's.
- Machine metrics on the status page: a **Machine** card reporting the
processor (busy percentage, core count, load average), memory and swap, and
network throughput and totals per interface, read from the kernel's counters
in `/proc` (`internal/health/machine.go`). CPU and throughput are differences
between two readings, so they are measured against the previous poll of the
status fragment and reported as still being measured until a second reading
exists — a page opened after a long idle stretch re-baselines rather than
presenting that stretch as the current load. A fully busy processor (≥90%)
warns and an exhausted machine (≥97% of memory in use) errors, both counting
towards the page's headline verdict, since either delays or kills the mail
path; throughput is reported and never graded. Counters that cannot be read
— no `/proc` outside Linux — leave the card in place showing "unknown". The
usage bars are `<meter>` elements: the panel's CSP has no inline-style
exemption, so a bar's length has to travel on an attribute.
- An index of the current page's own sections in the navigation column, for the
two pages long enough to need one: the domain page (nine cards, from the DNS
records to publish down to the danger zone) and the status page (eight). Each
card carries an id and the page's template defines the list
(`{{define "sections"}}`); every other page defines nothing and shows no
index. `panel.js` marks the section currently in view, looking its targets up
by id on each pass so the status page swapping its cards out every five
seconds cannot leave it measuring boxes that have left the document. The
links are plain fragment links and work with JavaScript blocked; only the
highlight needs it.
### Changed
- Every panel page is laid out in one column of the same width, so moving
between them no longer shifts the navigation and the cards sideways. The
column used to be the 48rem reading measure, which the send log, the mail
queue and the system log widened to 64rem for their tables — and since the
navigation and the page are centred as a pair, that difference moved
everything on screen on the way between two pages. The column is now 64rem
throughout, with the reading measure kept inside it: a page's heading, cards,
back link and version footer are held to 48rem and centred in the column,
and the three pages made of data opt out and take the column whole. Which
pages those are is declared by the page itself (a `wide` block in its
template, the same mechanism as the section index) rather than derived from
the navigation entry, so a single delivery's page — prose, but filed under
the send log — keeps the measure. The scrollbar's width is now reserved on
every page as well: without it a short page and a long one were laid out in
viewports differing by that width, which moved the same things again.
- The mark's small-size variant — the tab icon and the `SP` initials it
carries — sets its S in Medium where the wordmark sets it in ExtraLight.
Against the P's SemiBold the ExtraLight S is a 0.90 stem against 3.40,
which at 16px is a quarter of a pixel against most of one, so the pair
rasterised to a P with a smudge beside it. Medium gives up the
Self/Post weight play, which needs more pixels than this variant exists
to work in, in exchange for both letters being there. The variants big
enough to carry the contrast keep it. `favicon.png` is regenerated to
match, and the outlines are IBM Plex Sans as before — the same
font-size, letter-spacing and baseline, with only the S's weight moved.
- The stamp's `SELF-HOSTED SMTP RELAY` line is set at 11.5/0.15 instead of
7.2/2.8, and no longer carries `opacity=".78"`. At the old size its stems
rasterised to about half a device pixel, so more than half its ink landed
as antialiasing — the typical pixel reached 2.1:1 against the brown rather
than the 7.3:1 the two colours are worth, and none reached full strength.
The line keeps its footprint and its monospaced cells: the width the
tracking was spending went to the glyphs, whose cap height rises from 5.2
to 8.3. The mark is used at 330px on the login and setup pages, which is
where this was worst. `internal/web/static/logo.svg` is a copy of
`docs/assets/selfpost-stamp.svg` and both carry the change, as does the
proof sheet the outlines are drawn from.
- The delivery log lists what identifies a message and nothing else: time,
sender, recipient, subject, status. Domain and application, which were a
column each, remain the log's two filters and now appear per message on the
delivery page. The two dropped columns were the widest thing in the table
after the addresses, and both repeat down the page whenever a filter is set.
- Subjects are decoded for display as well as on the way in, so the rows the
journal-milter recorded before it decoded them itself — the ones an operator
is most likely to still be reading — show their text rather than
`=?utf-8?Q?…?=`. The decoder moved to `internal/mailhdr` and is shared by the
milter and the panel; it is idempotent, so a row decoded once passes through
unchanged.
- The panel's navigation is a column down the left edge instead of a bar across
the top. As a bar it did not fit on one row — six page entries and the
session block against the panel's width — and had to be split into two,
costing the top of every page; standing it up removes the compromise, gives
the entries one left edge to scan down, and leaves room under them for the
section index above. It is sticky, so both lists stay in view on the long
pages, and the current entry is marked down its leading edge rather than
underlined. Below the width the two columns need, it lies back down into the
wrapping rows it used to be — no drawer and no hamburger, since six entries
fit. The markup now lists the blocks in the order they are drawn, so the tab
order follows the eye instead of starting at Sign out.
- An application's mode and rate-limit fields open under its row of controls
instead of inside it. Both panels were `<details>`, so each opened where its
own toggle sat and cut the row of four in half, pushing New password and
Delete below a block of fields — the buttons moved every time a panel was
opened or closed. The toggle is now a hidden checkbox with its label drawn as
the button, and the panel is the last child of the row, so the four controls
keep their places and what a panel reveals is laid out beneath all of them.
It stays keyboard-reachable and, being pure CSS, still works with JavaScript
blocked, as the disclosure did. Inside a panel the submit buttons take the
ordinary form spacing back from the compact row style that was leaving them
flush against the field above, and Save limit and Remove limit — two posts,
hence two forms — share one row, the first button bound to its form by the
`form` attribute rather than by sitting inside it.
- The mark at the head of the navigation column takes the column's full width
instead of the 110px it kept from the bar. In a row that size was all there
was room for; in a column it left the mark ending halfway across, with no
edge shared with anything below it. At the column's width its edges line up
with the page entries under it, as the full mark already does with the card
beneath it on the signed-out pages. Where the column lies back down into a
bar it returns to the compact size, which is what fits beside the entries.
- The import card reads the file's extension instead of asking whether the file
is encrypted. The checkbox was a question the server never consulted — it
decides from the envelope's magic bytes — so the answer could only be wrong.
Choosing a `.spde` file reveals the password field and a `.json` file hides
it; an unrecognised extension reveals it, and with no file chosen the field
stays hidden, since there is nothing yet for a password to open. With
JavaScript blocked the field is shown, so an encrypted import still works.
## [0.5.0] - 2026-08-06
### Fixed
- A bounce could be recorded as a successful delivery. The log-tailer's
delivery-line pattern matched `status=` greedily, so it took the *last*
occurrence on the line — and Postfix appends the remote server's reply
verbatim, which the far end controls. A rejection whose reply text contained
`status=sent` was filed as `sent` in the send log. The pattern now takes the
first `status=` after the recipient, which is the real field
(`internal/logtail/logtail.go`); found while extending `TestParseDelivery`.
- Log-tailer resumes where it stopped instead of jumping to end-of-file on
every start (phase 3, `docs/code-review.md`): the read position and a
fingerprint of the log's head are persisted (`logtail_state`, migration
`0003`), so delivery lines written while the panel was down are parsed and
their send-log rows no longer stay `queued` forever. A log that changed
identity while the panel was down is read from the start; a first-ever start,
with nothing stored, still begins at the end. Container recreate remains a
gap — `mail.log` is not in `/data` (`docs/security.md`).
- Level-2 rate limit no longer overshoots under concurrency: messages that
passed the check at MAIL FROM but have not reached the send log yet are
counted alongside the stored rows (`internal/milter/inflight.go`), so
parallel SMTP sessions cannot each spend the same last slot. Slots are
released at end-of-message, on ABORT, and after a 10-minute TTL, so a client
that drops mid-transaction cannot hold one — the limiter stays fail-open.
### Changed
- The project has a single public home: `github.com/mixeme/selfpost`. Codeberg
is being retired, so the Go module path moved with it — `go.mod`,
`test/e2e/go.mod`, every import, the `Makefile` `MODULE` variable and the
`-ldflags` version stamp in `build/Dockerfile` and `docs/development.md`. An
import path pointing at a host that is going away would break `go get` and
`go install` outright, which is why this is not only a documentation change.
README no longer lists a primary/mirror pair.
- Code comments no longer cite the archived specification. References like
"spec 7.6.1" or "spec 5.1" pointed into `docs/archive/specification-v1.0.md`,
which is explicitly not a source of truth; each is now a reference to the
live document that owns the subject — `docs/architecture.md` (with section),
`docs/product.md`, `docs/security.md`, or the README. Comments only; no
behaviour is affected.
- `docs/code-review.md` is gone. Its plan is finished — phases 0 (bar the
release-commit steps), 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 are all closed — and the rest of the
document had become a second copy of what `architecture.md`, `security.md`
and the code comments already say. What was genuinely open moved to
`docs/roadmap.md`: splitting `internal/web` into subpackages, a consolidated
documentation index in the README, the adaptive polling interval for an idle
but visible tab, and `CONTRIBUTING.md`. The review text stays in git history
(`522425a`); the CHANGELOG entries below that cite it are left as written.
- `docs/architecture.md` gained a *Code layers* section: a diagram of
handlers → services → store plus the adapters, and the reason the services
layer exists (multi-store writes and their rollback) — closing item A2 of
`docs/code-review.md`.
- Phase 1 doc/code hygiene (`docs/code-review.md`): removed ~30 stale
"Phase N" / historical-staging references from code and shell-script
comments (`cmd/panel`, `internal/*`, `build/*`) now that v1.0 is done;
fixed a stale dashboard comment (`internal/web/handlers_domains.go`)
claiming applications/send-log were unimplemented; added a CSRF ADR to
`docs/security.md` (why Origin-check, not tokens); resolved `docs/logo` in
`docs/roadmap.md` (directory doesn't exist, criterion already met); added a
`gofmt -l` check to CI (`.github/workflows/test.yml`).
- Phase 2 GUI polish (`docs/code-review.md`): the monitoring pages stop
polling while their tab is hidden — the skip is done in an
`htmx:beforeRequest` listener (`internal/web/static/panel.js`) rather than
htmx's own trigger filter, which is evaluated with `new Function` and would
be blocked by the panel's CSP. Dark mode is now a single reassignment of CSS
custom properties under `prefers-color-scheme: dark` instead of a cascade of
`!important` overrides, and the duplicate `main { max-width }` rule is
consolidated into one base rule with documented per-page overrides
(`internal/web/static/panel.css`).
### Security
- Pre-release security review (plan § D, model Fable, 2026-08-06): full pass
over the diff from the v1.0 audit (Phase 11, `bd64e80`) to HEAD plus the
complete spec 7.6 checklist. No exploitable findings; one defence-in-depth
fix below. Accepted risks in `docs/security.md` unchanged.
- `saslpasswd2` argv: the application login is now passed after a `--`
end-of-options marker (`internal/app/sasl.go`), so a login starting with
`-` (legal under the whitelist) can never be parsed as a flag by getopt.
### Added
- Optional password encryption for the two secret-bearing downloads (plan
phase 1.5, `docs/code-review.md`): an *Encrypt with a password* checkbox on
the full-backup and domain-export forms writes a `.spbk` / `.spde` envelope
instead of the plain `.tar.gz` / `.json` — scrypt key derivation and
AES-256-GCM over 64 KiB chunks, each authenticated with the header, its
counter and an end-of-stream flag, so a truncated or altered file refuses to
open (`internal/secretfile`). Unticked, both downloads are byte-for-byte what
they were.
- Domain import accepts an encrypted export: the envelope is detected by its
magic bytes, and a password field appears next to the file picker
(`internal/web/handlers_backup.go`, `templates/encrypt_fields.html`).
- `selfpost-backup` writes encrypted archives and reads them back:
`-decrypt` (with `-i`/`-o`) turns a `.spbk` into the plain `.tar.gz` a
restore unpacks. The password comes from `SELFPOST_BACKUP_PASSWORD` or
`-password-file`, never from argv.
- `TestParseDelivery` covers the exotic mail.log shapes the review asked for
(`docs/code-review.md` § 3): a `status=` quoted inside the remote reply, the
null recipient of a double bounce, `orig_to=` alongside `to=`, an
unrecognised status word, a capitalised one, and a cleanup line.
- docs: README *Encrypting a backup or export*; `docs/security.md` §
*Резервная копия и экспорт домена* + accepted risk (encryption is opt-in);
`docs/architecture.md` persistence § envelope summary.
- docs: `docs/roadmap.md` v1.x tail — retire `implementation-plan.md` in the
release commit (move to `docs/archive/`, retarget its references in README,
docs, Makefile, release workflow and the e2e test comment).
- docs: `docs/code-review.md` — phase 1.5 plan for optional password encryption
of full backup (`.spbk`) and domain export (`.spde`); checkbox UI pattern;
remove session-resurrection-from-backup as accepted risk.
- docs: `docs/code-review.md` — full codebase review (architecture, code quality,
documentation, GUI, legacy, risks) with prioritized implementation plan and
model routing; cross-links in `implementation-plan.md` and `progress.md`.
- docs (D6): Docker `HEALTHCHECK` probes `/healthz`; endpoint returns 503 unless
opendkim, panel, and postfix are RUNNING (`internal/health.Liveness`).
- docs (D6): README *Container health* — scope of `/healthz` vs authenticated Status.
- docs (D7): `cmd/panel/envdoc_test.go` — regression test that every
`loadConfig` and build-script env key is listed in README documentation.
- docs (D8): `docs/architecture.md` — as-built processes, mail path, routes,
persistence (verified against code).
- docs (D8): `docs/development.md` — local Go workflow, `make e2e`, dev-server
loop, commit/CHANGELOG protocol, agent rules.
- docs (D9): `docs/product.md` — product purpose, assumptions, out-of-scope,
multi-domain model.
- docs (D9): `docs/security.md` — self-contained mandatory security checklist
(former spec §7.6).
- docs (D9): `specification.md` archived to
`docs/archive/specification-v1.0.md`; live docs updated (`progress.md`,
`implementation-plan.md`, `roadmap.md`, `documentation-plan.md`).
- docs (D1): README *Operations* — panel screens (`/status`, domains,
deliveries, mail queue, system log, backup, account), upgrade procedure,
session behaviour (sliding idle, monitoring polls do not extend, password
change signs out other sessions), and `mail.log` rotation cadence.
- docs (D1): README *Rate limiting* — level-1 anvil limits
(`RATE_LIMIT_MESSAGES_PER_IP`, `RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_SECONDS`) and level-2
per-domain/application limits from the panel; fixes the `.env.example` link
that pointed at a missing section.
- docs (D2): README environment-variable reference — public `.env` table with
code-accurate defaults, `TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDR` security note, explicit
internal-variable list; `TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDR` wired through
`deploy/docker-compose.yml`.
### Removed
- docs: `security.md` — accepted risk «restore old backup revives session rows»
(not a concern in operator deployment).
### Changed
- docs: `implementation-plan.md` trimmed to the sole open v1.x gate — pre-release
security review (§ D); closed B.1C.4 material moved to as-built and ops docs.
- docs: `architecture.md` — sessions (SQLite, idle renew, password change),
`mail.log` rotation (rename + `postfix reload`), `SELFPOST_HOSTNAME` startup
gate, log-tailer known gaps.
- docs: `development.md` — expanded e2e stack and `release.yml` matrix workflow.
- docs: `security.md` — accepted risk for send-log rows stuck at `queued` after
panel restart or container recreate.
- docs: `roadmap.md` — optional send-log / `mail.log` follow-ups under v1.x tail.
- docs: `progress.md`, `documentation-plan.md` — cross-links updated for the new layout.
- docs: `documentation-plan.md` marked closed (D1D9); trimmed to package
checklist, code-verification method, and ongoing maintenance rules.
- docs: `roadmap.md` — v1.x doc/deploy tail (Codeberg Quick start, compose
image tag at release, `docs/logo`); archived-spec references replaced with
`product.md` / `security.md` / `development.md`.
- docs: `progress.md` — documentation pass closed; deferred polish in roadmap.
- `/healthz` now checks supervisord mail-path processes, not HTTP alone.
- `build/Dockerfile`: `curl` for `HEALTHCHECK`; probe on port 8080.
- docs (D3): README backup — stopped-container `tar` of `./data` (with live-container
WAL warning), `manifest.json` consumed after a matching restore.
- docs (D4): README status banner (v1.0 implemented, links to open questions and
documentation pass); new *Published ports* note for 587; compose usage comment
corrected (TLS via `./certs` bind mount, not `.env`).
- docs (D5): `implementation-plan.md` B.1 — password change signs out other
sessions only (implementation diverged from original plan; README was already
correct).
- docs: documentation plan now targets retiring `specification.md` after D9 —
migration map to `product.md`, `architecture.md`, `development.md`, and
expanded `security.md`; D9 added to the release gate.
## [0.4.0] - 2026-08-04
### Added
- The project's mark is now in use rather than only on file. The README opens
with the full stamp; the panel carries the compact one at the left of its
navigation bar, linking to the status page, and the full one above the card
on the two pages that have no navigation — sign-in and first-run setup. The
browser tab icon changes with it, from the earlier envelope drawing to the
stamp's small-size variant, so the tab, the panel and the README are one
identity. The four brand files in `docs/assets/` had their wordmark converted
from live text to outlines: they were set in IBM Plex Sans, which is not
installed on the machines that render them, and the light/semibold contrast
between *Self* and *Post* — the whole of the mark — collapsed into whatever
fallback the viewer happened to have.
### Changed
- panel: the sign-in and setup pages are now a column the width of their own
card. Both are a single narrow card, which centred itself while the heading
above it stayed at the panel's left edge; adding the mark would have made
that three alignments on a page with four elements.
- 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 `81.30.105.2 → 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
`<details>` 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 with a real Let's Encrypt certificate;
end-to-end delivery confirmed (DKIM pass, SPF pass).
