jcoffey-dev b6b54d2ac0 Settings › Security › Hardening: the legacy mail protocols switch
The screen for inbuxa:ProtocolPolicy, the server-wide switch that closes
IMAP, POP3 and ManageSieve (legacy-protocols spec). Reached as
CustomComponent/LegacyProtocols, which the server's schema places under
Settings › Security; a server without that link never shows it.

- The selector lists every mail protocol, with what the switch does to
  each and on which ports. SMTP and JMAP are shown locked, from the
  server's lockedProtocols rather than a list carried here, so unlocking
  later needs no admin release (LP-21).
- The statement is shown in full before the switch moves and while it is
  off, with the listeners that close by name and port, and the note that
  firewall rules and port-forwards are the operator's to reconcile
  (LP-16, LP-20).
- Turning it off takes the typed phrase "turn off legacy mail", matched
  exactly. Turning it back on is one click (LP-17).
- Listeners that could not be reopened stay listed, with a Try again
  (LP-5).
- A banner on the Security settings and the dashboard while it is off
  (LP-18). It stays silent on a server without the switch.

Visible to whoever may see listeners, changeable by whoever may update
them, matching the permissions the server checks.

Not here yet: the impact panel (LP-15), which needs the server to record
last use per protocol, and the tenant switch (LP-9 to LP-14).

INBUXA Admin

The administration interface for the INBUXA mail server: every server setting, first-boot setup, and recovery, in the browser.

It is schema-driven. After signing in it fetches the server's schema and builds every form, list and menu from it, so it covers every setting the server has without hardcoding any of them.

Design

  • One edition. Every feature the server has is available here, with nothing held back. See the INBUXA server's docs/spec/.
  • Runs anywhere, not on the mail server. INBUXA Admin is its own deployment, never installed onto the mail server. It's pointed at the server either at build time (VITE_API_BASE_URL) or at deploy time: <meta name="api-base-url" content="https://mail.example.com"> in index.html. Hosted like that, it signs in as the OAuth client inbuxa-admin, which the server registers when it's started with INBUXA_ADMIN_URL set to INBUXA Admin's address (for development, http://localhost:5173).
  • INBUXA's look: the logo and ihasmail's palette.
  • Two-factor setup names INBUXA as the issuer, and no longer makes authenticator apps fetch a logo from a third-party site.

Developing

npm ci
npm run dev          # http://localhost:5173, against VITE_API_BASE_URL in .env.development
npm run typecheck && npx eslint src/ && npx vitest run
npm run build

Keeping up with upstream

The upstream codebase's history contains no code under a proprietary license, so this is an ordinary git fork. upstream is a fetch-only remote:

git fetch upstream --tags
git merge v1.0.12        # the next release tag

Versions

INBUXA Admin has its own dated version (inbuxa-version.json), shown with the upstream release it's based on: INBUXA Admin 2026.9.18 (base 1.0.11). package.json keeps upstream's version, so upstream's bumps merge cleanly.

Source code

Every build carries its own source. The interface links to it (the user menu and the sign-in page), and the build writes it next to the app as source.tar.gz: the exact tree the running version was built from.
