Implement the structured send log (spec 7.3), the project's highest-risk
component since a milter bug can break the relay itself.
- internal/milter: go-milter v0.4.1 journal-milter. Per-connection session
collects SASL login, From, recipients and Subject across callbacks and
writes one send_log "queued" row per (queue-id, recipient) at EOM
(spec 7.3.3). Monitoring only: callbacks return Continue/Accept, recorder
errors are logged never propagated, so it can never block mail.
- internal/logtail: polling mail.log tailer with rotation handling (inode
change / truncation), parses sent/deferred/bounced/expired by queue-id +
recipient and advances rows; background retention sweep prunes rows past
SEND_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS (default 90) at startup and every 6h.
- internal/store/sendlog.go: InsertQueued, UpdateStatus (case-insensitive
recipient match), DeleteSendLogBefore + status constants.
- cmd/panel: open the store once and share it across http/milter/tailer;
replace the journal/logtail stubs with the real roles.
- build/postfix-config.sh: bounded milter timeouts (15/15/30s) so a hung
milter also fails open in seconds, not the 300s default.
Fix found in-container: SASL login (app_login) was empty because go-milter
keys macros exactly as Postfix sends them, and multi-character macro names
arrive brace-wrapped ({auth_authen}); the SASL-less Phase 0 spike could not
observe this. Added a brace-tolerant macro lookup.
Verified on selfpost.mixfed.ru: gofmt/vet/unit tests green; container e2e
records rows with correct fields and advances status via the tailer; fail-open
confirmed for both an unreachable and a hung milter; retention prunes at start.

SelfPost
Self-hosted outbound SMTP relay with a web control panel, shipped as a single
Docker image. Postfix + OpenDKIM + a small Go panel run together under
supervisord; the panel manages multiple sending domains, per-domain DKIM keys
and SASL-authenticated applications bound to their domain.
SelfPost sends mail straight to the internet from your own IP, with DKIM signing, and is configured once through the panel. It is outbound only — it does not receive mail, provide mailboxes, or offer webmail.
Status: under active development. See docs/specification.md for the full requirements and docs/implementation-plan.md for the phased build plan.
Requirements (site prerequisites)
SelfPost assumes the host already provides the conditions for sending from your own IP — an unblocked outbound port 25, a static IP, configurable PTR/rDNS and a reasonable IP reputation. Providing these is the operator's job, not a feature of SelfPost. Detailed deployment docs land in a later phase.
