The lines came out as one block of preformatted text, which is what the system log page does with a tail of mail.log — right there, where the lines are unrelated to each other and the block is the log itself. Here they are one message's six or seven lines, and what is read off them is the pace: the second between the connection and the banner, the ten between DATA and the reply. Run together, every line began with a different-width stamp and none of those numbers lined up. So they are two columns now, when and what, the same shape the send log itself has. logtail.SplitTimestamp takes the stamp off the head of a line: postlogd's format, which is what this server writes, and syslog's traditional one for a deployment that routes the log through syslogd instead. The stamp loses its microseconds and its offset — five decimal places are the widest part of the column and the least worth reading — but is not converted, so the page shows the log's own wall clock rather than a claim about which zone it was in. A line whose head is not a stamp either parser recognises keeps its whole text in the second column and leaves the first empty. The format is the log's, not ours; a line we cannot split is a line we must not drop, and the test says so. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## [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.
|
||
|
||
## [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.1–C.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 (D1–D9); 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 `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
|
||
`<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 on `selfpost.example.com` with a real Let's
|
||
Encrypt certificate; end-to-end delivery confirmed (DKIM pass, SPF pass).
|
