Roadmap: open work (1.x+)

Status: a working tracker of extensions to the v1.0 boundary, each taken up only after explicit agreement (product.md, .cursor/rules/agent-rules.mdc). Detailed design lives in plans/. Items marked candidate need an OK before any code is written.

Reading this from outside the project: nothing here is a commitment or a release promise. There are no dates, the order is a recommendation rather than a schedule, and an item can be dropped or reshaped once its plan is written. What the project will not do is a separate question, answered in product.md — an item's absence from this file does not mean it is planned but unlisted.

Versioning: SemVer MINOR in the 1.x+ line by default (1.1.0…), as long as defaults and migrations stay compatible with 1.0.0. A major 2.x only for an explicit break.

Process: development.md. The history of closed phases is in git log and CHANGELOG.md.


Index

ID Topic Status Plan
inbound-relay Inbound relay (backup-MX / forwarding) agreed plans/inbound-relay.md
contributing CONTRIBUTING.md candidate
dmarc-reports DMARC aggregate report ingestion and panel UI candidate plans/dmarc-reports.md
logrotate-mode mail.log stops rotating in some builds candidate plans/logrotate-mode.md

Recommended order (not binding): inbound-relay first among agreed items — it is the largest remaining 1.x+ extension. Candidates need explicit agreement before they join the queue.

After a context reset, pick an item marked agreed or in progress, then work the checklist in its linked plan.


inbound-relay

Goal: optional acceptance of mail on port 25 for explicitly configured domains, forwarded to an upstream (backup-MX / relay-forwarder). Off by default (INBOUND_RELAY_ENABLE=false); without the flag the outbound path is unchanged.

Boundary: an extension of v1.0 — product.md excludes inbound mail and mailboxes. This is relay/forward, not IMAP/POP3/webmail; an anti-spam engine stays outside the image, only the attachment point is provided.

Done when: see the criteria in plans/inbound-relay.md.

Dependencies / risks: a finished outbound path; open relay and backscatter; a wider attack surface (port 25 accepting mail). Version: target bump 1.x; 2.x possible — to be settled once the implementation lands.


contributing

Goal: CONTRIBUTING.md in the root — the dev loop, the checks to run before a PR, the commit protocol; development.md links to it rather than repeating it.

Boundary: process documentation; worth writing once there is an external flow of PRs.

Done when: the file is in the root and development.md does not duplicate it.

Dependencies / risks: with a single developer and no PRs, this is low priority. Version: no bearing on semver.


dmarc-reports

Goal: SelfPost receives DMARC aggregate reports (RFC 7489) on SMTP, parses the gzip/XML payloads, and shows pass/fail summaries in the panel — so the operator does not need an external DMARC service or a separate mailbox workflow.

Boundary: an extension of v1.0 — not IMAP/webmail and not a general inbound relay. A dedicated inbound path for report messages only; forensic reports (ruf=) out of scope for v1.

Done when: see plans/dmarc-reports.md.

Dependencies / risks: inbound SMTP in the image (may share infrastructure with inbound-relay but must not require backup-MX); storage and retention of parsed summaries; the admin.dmarc_report_email and domains.dmarc_rua settings added in the DMARC template work must stay the source of truth for rua= in DNS guidance.

Order: after the DMARC rua= settings ship; may follow or overlap with inbound-relay depending on how port 25 acceptance is structured.

Version: 1.x MINOR.
