Agreed with the owner, one question at a time; documents only, no code. - csrf-tokens -> origin-strict (agreed): no tokens, the origin check refuses a request with neither header. security.md's ADR records the decision and when tokens are built after all. - structured-logging, contributing: dropped, each with what brings it back (new roadmap section "Dropped, with the condition for return"). - template-data-typing: done by 2.0.0; its last map (healthChecks) is a step of the audit's stage 4. - preflight -> health-setup-checks (certificate name, Postfix's greeting, trusted proxy as lines on Health) and test-email, both agreed. The port check is dropped with its reason; plans/preflight.md removed. - password-reset: agreed; a reset link goes only to a confirmed e-mail, so the item builds confirmation first. - phone-desktop-mode: agreed, after stages 1 and 2 of the audit. - backup-reauth (agreed): the account password before a backup or a domain export, out of review-2026-08-followups. - from-header-binding, Not done: the Delivery log box is required on a refused message's page, with the line Postfix wrote, for all three kinds of refusal (audit stage 1); the Outbound log gets a filter by status and by day (audit stage 4). The audit's checklist is 48 lines (was 45). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

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. One such break, when 2.x is cut for any reason, is
schema-squash — replacing the 1.x SQLite migration chain
with a baseline. That item does not by itself justify a major.
Process: development.md. The history of closed phases is
in git log and CHANGELOG.md.

Recommended order (not binding; owner, 2026-10-09: feature order follows
development convenience): panel-redesign shipped as 2.0.0 (2026-10-11) and
inbound-antispam-panel as 2.1.0 (2026-10-12), built in the new component
kit — styling its two screens once instead of twice. delivery-log-storage
shipped as 2.2.0 the same day, panel-notifications as 2.3.0 and
from-header-binding as 2.4.0.
Nothing is agreed after it: every remaining
item is a candidate. panel-docs shipped in
CHANGELOG.md [1.8.0]; dmarc-reports in [1.7.0]
(its ingest path first ran in 2.0.0 and was reviewed on 2026-10-11, see
security.md); domain-stats-auto-ratelimit in
[1.6.0]; send-log-retention in [1.5.0]; inbound-relay in [1.4.0];
queue-retries in [1.3.1]; the 2026-08-13 full-tree review follow-ups are in
[1.3.0]. Candidates need explicit agreement before they join the queue.
The 2026-08-19 full-tree code review is closed except for four items, all
listed above and none of them urgent: origin-strict (its
"add CSRF tokens", decided otherwise on 2026-10-13),
template-data-typing (done by 2.0.0; its last map is a step of
audit-2026-10-12 stage 4),
structured-logging (dropped on
2026-10-13) and
review-2026-08-followups. What that review
produced is in CHANGELOG.md [1.9.2]; its own document
was removed once these four items carried everything still open, and stays in
git history.
After a context reset, pick an item marked agreed or in progress, then work
the Implementation checklist in its linked plan. The Progress column above
is done/total checklist steps in that plan (development.md
§ Plan checklists).
panel-docs
Status: done — shipped in [1.8.0] (2026-08-18). The implementation plan
file was removed as shipped cleanup; release details remain in
CHANGELOG.md.
Goal: built-in operator documentation in the panel — short pages (or a
help drawer) that explain what each Status check and other controls mean,
without sending the operator out to docs/guide.md.
Boundary: in-panel help only; not a second copy of the full operator guide. Seed content includes the Status blurbs removed from the cards in favour of a denser layout — Machine (kernel counters / rate window), TLS certificate (port 465, reverse-proxy mount), Hostname / reverse DNS (forward-confirmed reverse DNS, PTR at the hosting provider), and similar notes for other panel surfaces as they lose inline commentary.
Done when: an operator can open help from the panel for those topics; the removed Status blurbs are preserved there (or equivalent); no requirement to read the git tree for day-to-day meaning of a card.
Dependencies / risks: copy ownership and translation; keeping help in sync when checks change; not bloating every page with a second column of prose.
Version: shipped 1.8.0.
inbound-antispam-panel
Goal: panel view of inbound anti-spam decisions (when, from, to, subject, action) plus editable allow/deny lists that tune the external filter — without shipping rspamd or another engine inside the image.
Boundary: metadata journal and list sync only; SelfPost does not run the filter (product.md). Quarantine is not on the roadmap (Ideas). Design closed in plans/inbound-antispam-panel.md § Decisions.
Done when: with inbound relay enabled, the operator sees journal rows (accepts via inbound-journal milter, rejects via mail.log tailer) and can maintain instance-wide allow/deny lists synced to rspamd maps when the antispam hook is set.
Dependencies / risks: inbound relay [1.4.0]; rspamd map/header coupling;
journal PII; global-admin-only RBAC.
Version: shipped 2.1.0 (2026-10-12), MINOR (was 1.10.0; reordered after the redesign on 2026-10-09).
health-setup-checks
Decided by the owner on 2026-10-13, in place of the former candidate preflight (a page of its own, Server › Preflight, planned in August before Server › Health existed). Of that plan's eight checks Health already makes three (reverse DNS, certificate validity, the DKIM socket); five were missing. Three of the five go into Health, one becomes test-email, one is not built (Dropped). No second page of checks.
Goal: three more lines on Server › Health, in the cards that are there:
- The certificate is for this server: its names include
SELFPOST_HOSTNAME(TLS certificate card). Today a certificate for another name is "valid". - Postfix greets with the hostname: the 220 line on port 25 names
SELFPOST_HOSTNAME, notlocalhostor a container id (Hostname card). - The trusted proxy: the address the panel sees this request from, and
whether it took it from
X-Forwarded-For. WithTRUSTED_PROXY_CIDRwrong or empty behind a proxy the header is ignored (internal/web/auth/auth.go), every client has the proxy's address and the sign-in limiter is shared by all of them - silently.
Boundary: lines in existing cards, each with what to do when it fails;
no new card unless the mockup shows the lines do not fit. Mockup-first
(plans/panel-redesign.md § Enforcement). The
mockup preflight stays drawn and unbuilt.
Done when: each line is shown wrong on the e2e stand or in a test with a wrong certificate name, a wrong greeting and an untrusted proxy, and right on the test server.
Version: 2.x MINOR; agreed.
test-email
Decided by the owner on 2026-10-13, taken out of the former preflight.
Goal: a global administrator sends a test message from the panel to an address they type, and sees whether Postfix took it; the message then appears in Outbound › Log like any other. Today nobody can send through the server without setting up an application first.
Boundary: global role only; from postmaster@SELFPOST_HOSTNAME, the
sender notifications use, or from a sending domain the administrator picks -
settled at the mockup. It does not follow the message further than the log
does. Where the form lives (Health, or a sending domain's page) is settled at
the mockup; mockup-first.
Done when: the form sends, the row appears in the log, the form is rate-limited and refuses a recipient list, and it passes a security review - a form that sends mail is a new surface.
Version: 2.x MINOR; agreed.
origin-strict
Decided by the owner on 2026-10-13, in place of the former candidate csrf-tokens (per-session tokens on every form, recorded by the 2026-08-19 review): no tokens; the origin check is made strict instead.
Goal: originAllowed
(internal/web/security.go) refuses a
state-changing request that carries neither Sec-Fetch-Site nor Origin.
Today such a request is let through, which leaves a client that sends neither
header open to a request forged by any site
(security.md § Accepted risks).
Boundary: one branch of one function, its test, and the documents. No
template changes, no hidden fields. Before the change, find what posts to the
panel without a browser (the e2e stand, scripts) and make it send Origin.
Done when: a POST with neither header is refused with a test that proves
it, the e2e stand passes, the accepted risk about header-less requests is
struck from security.md and its ADR states the strict rule.
Dependencies / risks: a browser that sends neither header can no longer save anything in the panel - accepted, the panel's users pick their own browsers. Tokens stay a recorded alternative, not a task: the conditions under which they are built are in security.md, ADR § CSRF via origin checking (Revisit if).
Version: 2.x PATCH; agreed.
backup-reauth
Agreed with the owner on 2026-10-13, out of review-2026-08-followups.
Problem: Server › Backup hands the full backup and a domain export to any live session of a global administrator (handlers_backup.go). The archive holds the whole database - panel password hashes, application (SASL) passwords, DKIM keys - so a stolen session cookie, or a panel left open, is a quiet copy of the server. Encrypt with a password does not help: the thief chooses that password.
Goal: both downloads ask for the current account password, checked the way a password change checks it and under the same limiter.
Boundary: one field in each of the two forms (mockup-first); import is
not touched; the selfpost-backup CLI is not touched - it runs inside the
container.
Done when: a download without the password or with a wrong one is refused with a test that proves it, attempts are limited, and security.md § Backup says so.
Version: 2.x MINOR; agreed.
review-2026-08-followups
Goal: the leftovers of the 2026-08-19 full-tree code review that are too
small to be roadmap items of their own. Everything still open from that review
is in the table below; the rest of it shipped in
CHANGELOG.md [1.9.2].
| Area | Item |
|---|---|
| Security | |
| Tests | The internal/dmarc service layer (service.go, addresses.go) has no tests |
| Tests | No direct tests for the apps / domains / users / dmarc handlers; authz_test covers them only indirectly |
| Tests | Nothing covers error page templates, a corrupted backup archive, malformed or oversized DMARC XML, delivery-log pagination edges, concurrent store operations, or zero-traffic store stats |
| Edge case | internal/secretfile accepts an empty password at library level — guard it, or state that validation is the caller's job |
| Edge case | The log fingerprint in logtail/offset.go can collide across a rotation — include the inode |
| Edge case | parsePage in handlers_monitor.go does not clamp to lastPage |
| Edge case | dnscheck/resolver.go fans out four parallel queries where a fallback chain would do — change it or write down why not |
| UI | .pair (DMARC templates) and .split (every other page) are two names for one layout |
| UI | back_link elements in a row in dmarc_domain.html |
| UI | initShowWhen is not re-run after an htmx swaphtmx:load |
Boundary: no feature work and no behaviour change an operator would notice, apart from the backup re-auth prompt. Anything here that grows past an hour becomes its own roadmap item instead.
Done when: each row is either implemented or struck with a written reason.
Dependencies / risks: One finding of that review was declined and is
deliberately absent: //go:build linux for the /proc reader in
internal/health/machine.go. That code is
parameterised by root directory, calls nothing platform-specific, already
degrades gracefully when /proc is missing (TestMachineSamplerWithoutProc),
and tagging it would only delete cross-platform test coverage.
Version: no bearing on semver; candidate.
delivery-log-storage
Problem (owner, 2026-10-09): the Delivery log box on a message's page
(/deliveries/{id}, mockup out-message) is usually empty. The lines are not
stored anywhere: logtail.QueueLines
(internal/logtail/logtail.go) greps the
current mail.log on every page view, within its last 4 MB, and never
opens the rotated files. Rotation is daily
(build/logrotate-mail.conf), so a message
older than the last rotation — in practice anything not sent today — shows
"Nothing for this queue id in the current mail log" while its send-log row
lives on for ninety days. The fourteen rotated files on disk hold the lines
and are never read.
Goal: a message's page shows what Postfix wrote about it for as long as the message is in the send log.
Options:
- Store the lines (recommended). The log tailer already reads every
mail.logline once to update delivery status; a line whose queue id belongs to a send-log row is also appended to a new table (send_log_lines: row id, written at, text), five to ten short lines per message. Retention follows the row — the existing send-log sweep deletes them together — and the page reads the table instead of the file. Lines written while the panel was down are caught up the way status updates are, from the persisted read offset. The grep stays only as a fallback for rows older than the table. - Grep the rotated files too.
QueueLineswalksmail.log.1,mail.log.2.gz, … until it finds the id. No schema, but each view decompresses up to fourteen files, and past fourteen days the answer is still empty against a ninety-day row.
Boundary: outbound send-log rows only; the inbound journal
(inbound-antispam-panel) decides for itself
whether it wants the same. No change to what the box looks like — the
out-message mockup already draws it as a log_pane.
Done when: a message sent before the last rotation shows its lines on its page; the lines disappear with the row; the page wording no longer blames rotation for an ordinary case.
Dependencies / risks: a queue id is reused by Postfix after a message leaves the queue, so matching must be bounded to the row's lifetime (accepted time to final status plus the queue lifetime), not to the id alone; the table grows with the send log (small — a few hundred bytes per message) and is covered by the same retention.
Version: shipped 2.2.0 (2026-10-12), MINOR; option 1. Decisions and
checklist: plans/delivery-log-storage.md.
panel-notifications
Goal: the panel tells its administrators when something needs them instead of waiting to be opened. First version, four events: a sending domain's DNS record stops matching, a level-2 rate limit refuses mail, the TLS certificate is about to expire, a message has been in the queue for more than three days.
Boundary: e-mail only, from postmaster@<hostname>, submitted locally -
not from one of the sending domains. One checkbox per user under Account
(no choice per event), one instance switch under Server › Settings; a
domain administrator hears only about assigned domains. No streams, no
digests, no webhooks, no chat integrations. Not in the first version: a
process or milter down, an inbound upstream unreachable, DMARC failures.
Done when: each of the four events reaches the account e-mail of every user who has notifications on and may see its subject, by the rules of the plan (a "cleared" message for DNS and the queue only); a user without an e-mail gets nothing; the switch turns it all off.
Dependencies / risks: the account e-mail (2.0 baseline, see
plans/panel-redesign.md § Account e-mail); a relay
that cannot send cannot report that it cannot send - none of the four events
is "the relay is down"; mail from the bare hostname needs an SPF record for
it to be believed, which Server › Health will check; event state must survive
restarts so a reboot does not re-announce everything. The screens are not
drawn: the Notifications box was taken out of account and settings on
2026-10-10 and is redrawn as the first step.
Version: shipped 2.3.0 (2026-10-12), MINOR - the design questions were closed
with the owner on 2026-10-12
(plans/panel-notifications.md) and he took it into
work the same day.
password-reset
Goal: a user who forgot their password gets a one-time link at their account e-mail instead of asking the global administrator to set a new one.
Boundary: a link on the sign-in page, a short-lived single-use token, the same answer whether or not the username exists. The only global administrator without a working e-mail still recovers from the container (today's path).
The e-mail must be confirmed (owner, 2026-10-13). A reset link goes only
to an address its owner has confirmed; an account whose e-mail is not
confirmed has no reset, and recovers as today (the global administrator sets
a password, or the container). The panel does not confirm addresses today -
users.email is whatever was typed - so the item builds that first: saving
an e-mail under Account mails a one-time link to it, opening the link marks
the address confirmed (a migration: the mark on users), changing the
address clears the mark, and Account shows which it is. An address typed for
a user by the global administrator is unconfirmed until that user opens the
link. To settle at the mockup: whether notifications (2.3.0) keep going to an
unconfirmed address.
Done when: the flow works end to end, tokens expire and cannot be reused, requests are rate-limited, an account with an unconfirmed e-mail gets no link and the sign-in page answers the same for it, and it passes a security review.
Dependencies / risks: the account e-mail; an account-takeover surface where there was none — security review is part of the item, not an afterthought. Not drawn yet. Changing the account e-mail must then require the current password (2.0 security review), because the e-mail becomes where a reset link goes and today Account saves it without the password.
Version: 2.x MINOR; agreed (owner, 2026-10-13: domain administrators
to come need it - they are not the owner and should not have to ask him for
a new password). Mockup-first; changing the account e-mail asks for the
current password in the same cut.
phone-desktop-mode
Problem (owner, 2026-10-11): the panel opened on a phone with the
browser's "desktop site" switched on does not become the desktop panel.
Seen on Server › Health at selfpost.mixfed.ru: the page body is laid out in
columns (Machine and Processes side by side, three cards in the next row),
while the navigation is the phone one - not a bar but a stack with every
section open (Outbound, Inbound, Server, the user menu), filling the first
screen before the page starts. The content also sits flush against the left
edge of the screen.
Goal: find out why, then decide what the panel should be in that mode - the desktop panel, or a phone panel that is at least consistent.
Where to look first (a guess, not checked): "desktop site" on Android
lays a page out about 980 px wide. Bulma turns the navigation into a bar at
1024 px and puts columns side by side from 769 px, so 980 px falls between
the two: desktop columns under a touch navigation. panel.css has its own
breakpoints at 768, 1023 and 1407 px. Check the width the phone really
reports, why every dropdown is open rather than folded behind the burger,
and where the left padding went.
Boundary: the navigation and page gutter between 769 and 1023 px, which is also a tablet in portrait and a narrow desktop window - the same defect is expected there. A design change is mockup-first (plans/panel-redesign.md § Enforcement).
Done when: the cause is written down here, and the panel at that width has one coherent layout, checked on a phone in "desktop site" mode and in a 980 px window.
Version: 2.x PATCH or MINOR; agreed (owner, 2026-10-13), taken up
after stages 1 and 2 of audit-2026-10-12 - mail shown
wrong and the tenant boundary come before layout.
from-header-binding
Problem (security review of panel-notifications, 2026-10-12): Postfix
holds the envelope sender against the SASL login
(reject_sender_login_mismatch), and OpenDKIM chooses the signing key by the
From: header. Nothing holds the header against the login. An application
of one sending domain can therefore write another registered domain - or,
since 2.3.0, the server's own name - into From: and have the message signed
with that name's key: mail that passes DMARC as a domain the application has
no right to, or that looks like a notification of the panel.
Agreed with the owner on 2026-10-12, built and reviewed the same day
(plans/from-header-binding.md; what is not
done is listed there under Not done). The rule he
chose is wider than the one first written here: From: is held to exactly
what the envelope is held to - any address of the application's domain, or
the addresses of its list - and anything else is refused, a stranger's domain
included. The check is a role of the panel on a strict socket of its own:
while the panel does not answer, mail is deferred, not accepted unchecked.
Server › Health counts what that costs, to decide later whether the check
needs a process of its own.
Done when: the e2e stand shows an application refused for another
tenant's From:, for the hostname's and for an address off its list, and
accepted for its own.
Version: shipped 2.4.0 (2026-10-12), MINOR. What it costs - the
panel's downtime is now mail's - is in security.md § Accepted
risks.
panel-redesign
Goal: a panel an operator opens a few times a year and still finds their way in — the important things in view, details one or two clicks away, one visual language, no page tuning its own width. The design is drawn and accepted: 33 screens and a components page under docs/assets/panel-redesign/ (Bulma base, postmark / numbered heads / perforated edge, icons). Contract and checklist: plans/panel-redesign.md.
Boundary: templates, one panel.css, shared partials, vendored Bulma and
icons. Navigation regroups by mail direction (Overview · Outbound · Inbound ·
Server) and paths are renamed to match. No compatibility is kept (owner,
2026-09-21): no redirects, the migration chain is replaced by one baseline
and 2.0 starts from an empty data directory — the only live installation is
the owner's. Inbound domains become delegable to a
domain administrator, separately from outbound. Server › Health is built
with the restyle (decided 2026-10-09). Three things the mockups show keep
their own decision and are not smuggled in: queue as a table
(postqueue -j), inbound queue, inbound log (rides on
inbound-antispam-panel) — until then both queues ship the old content in the
new shell. No CSP change, no JavaScript widgets, no second framework.
Done when: every page renders with the component skeleton recorded in
panel/outlines.json, the guard tests in the plan are green with no
allow-list, and each page has an evidence screenshot accepted against its
mockup.
Dependencies / risks: an implementer substituting local patches or a look
of their own — answered by guard tests that land before the templates, a
design-first CI step and evidence-based acceptance (plan § Enforcement).
Competes with feature work; Bulma is ~680 kB minified, embedded once.
Version: shipped 2.0.0 (2026-10-11), MAJOR.
schema-squash
Goal: when 2.x is cut, stop shipping the 1.x migration chain in the binary
and replace it with one baseline equal to the schema at the then-current head.
Fresh 2.x data directories no longer create-then-drop the historical admin
table. Current chain, legacy notes, and gate thresholds:
schema-migrations.md (update that file when migrations
ship; adjust the squash gate to its head at cut time).
Boundary: 1.x keeps the full chain so a 1.0.0 data directory still boots.
Do not delete, rename, or reorder migration files while MINOR compatibility with
1.0.0 holds. Git history keeps the old files either way; only the embedded
set in the 2.x image changes.
Restore remains a separate lock: the backup manifest version must match the running binary (architecture.md § Persistence). It does not replace the squash upgrade gate.
Done when: 2.x embeds a single baseline (plus any 2.x-only migrations after it); the gate in schema-migrations.md is tested; the operator guide says a 2.x image will not open an unfinished 1.x database.
Trigger decided 2026-09-21: panel-redesign is the 2.0 cut, and the owner dropped the upgrade gate with it — the chain is deleted to zero and 2.0 starts from an empty data directory. The Boundary and Done when above are superseded on that point by plans/panel-redesign.md § No compatibility; this item ships as a step of that plan, not on its own.
Built 2026-10-09 (panel-redesign stage 1): internal/store/migrations/
holds one baseline, 0001_init.sql. The gate that survives is a refusal, not
an upgrade: store.Open rejects a database that was not created by 2.x
(ErrForeignSchema, tested), so a 1.x file is never half-read — the "missed
gate" risk below. See schema-migrations.md.
Dependencies / risks: a decided 2.x cut (another breaking change, or an
explicit major). Squashing the current short chain is not a reason to cut 2.x on
its own. A missed gate leaves a mid-chain 1.x database silently stuck.
Version: 2.x major only; not a 1.x item.
Dropped, with the condition for return
Items the owner took off the roadmap. Each names what would bring it back; without that it is not offered again.
- structured-logging (dropped 2026-10-13) - move the panel from
log.Printftolog/slogwith levels and fields, one logger passed through constructors. Dropped because the panel's log has one reader, the owner, by eye indocker logs; the change is wide (some 225 call sites), changes no behaviour, and gives a new format to everything that reads the output. Returns if: the log goes to an outside collector, or it has to be filtered by level. - contributing (dropped 2026-10-13) - a
CONTRIBUTING.mdin the root: the dev loop, the checks before a PR, the commit protocol. Dropped because there is one developer and no PRs, and everything the file would say is in development.md; a second file is a second copy to keep in step. Returns if: the first outside PR arrives, or the owner decides to invite contributors. - A check that ports 25, 465 and 587 are reachable (dropped 2026-10-13,
from the former preflight). The panel can only dial its own public
address from inside the container: behind NAT without hairpin that shows an
open port as closed, and with hairpin it shows as open a port the provider
blocks from outside. A card that is wrong both ways is worse than none, and
an honest check needs a probe outside the server, which is outside the
product (product.md). The administrator's browser cannot do
it either: 25, 465 and 587 are on the Fetch standard's list of blocked
ports. Two substitutes were offered and declined the same day: a Health
line "last connection from outside on each port", read from
mail.log, and a command in the help to run from one's own machine. Returns if: the owner accepts an outside probe, or asks for one of the two substitutes. - preflight as a page of its own (dropped 2026-10-13): see
health-setup-checks. Its plan,
plans/preflight.md, was removed and stays in git history. - csrf-tokens (decided 2026-10-13) - session-bound tokens on every form. Replaced by origin-strict; the conditions for building tokens after all are in security.md, ADR § CSRF via origin checking.
Ideas, not on the roadmap
Thoughts kept so they are not lost. They are not candidates: nothing here is waiting for an OK, has a version or takes a place in the order above. An idea joins the index only when the owner says so.
- Inbound quarantine (moved here by the owner on 2026-10-12: "an idea to
think about") - hold suspicious inbound mail, review it in the panel, then
release it to the upstream or discard it. It would take the relay from
passing mail on to storing it for a while, against "no mailboxes" in
product.md. Notes and open questions:
plans/inbound-quarantine.md; the screens
in-quarantineandin-quarantine-messageare drawn and stay unbuilt.
