jcoffey-dev 4a9aa9c548 Masked email: rewrite to the owner at RCPT TO, create responses carry the address, admins query all masks (ME-4, ME-9, ME-13, ME-19)
Found by running system_tests, which masked email no longer stops:
- rcpt_resolve rewrites a live mask to its owner's address, so
  Delivered-To names the account; delivery recognizes the mask from the
  original recipient when it belongs to that account.
- x:MaskedEmail/set create responses carry the server-set email.
- x:MaskedEmail/query returns every mask to a server-level impersonate
  holder, and filters on accountId.
- The refusal for an unlinked emailDomain uses upstream's wording.
- The shared delivery test checks the fork's address format (ME-13).
- The masked email test's tenant domain uses manual DKIM, so its cleanup
  leaves nothing behind.

inbuxa

A complete mail and collaboration server, every feature included, under the AGPL


INBUXA is a mail and collaboration server: JMAP, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, CalDAV, CardDAV and WebDAV, in one Rust binary, with ihasmail as its web front end. It is a fork of Stalwart. Project site: inbuxa.org (not up yet).

Stalwart ships some features only in a paid Enterprise Edition: multi-tenancy, masked email, undelete and others. INBUXA ships everything to everybody under the AGPL-3.0, rebuilding those features independently and without using any of Stalwart's Enterprise code.

Status: in development, not released. The fork builds, passes its unit tests, and runs as a working mail server. The Enterprise features are being specified and haven't been rebuilt yet. Don't run it in production.

What's different from Stalwart

  • Every feature, one edition. No license key, no edition checks, no upsell. See docs/spec/SPEC.md §4 for the features being rebuilt, and docs/spec/features/ for each one's specification.
  • Webmail and administration by ihasmail, as a separate service that can run beside the server or elsewhere. Stalwart's own web interface is removed, so there's no web front end on the mail host.
  • Clean-room rebuilds. Enterprise-only code is stripped from every upstream release before it's imported. The rebuilt features are written from specifications that use only public sources (docs/spec/SPEC.md §3).

How the fork is kept

Upstream releases arrive as stripped snapshots, never with upstream's git history, which contains Enterprise code. tools/fork/strip.py builds each snapshot on top of upstream's own ossify.py, then verifies it independently. The report for every import is in docs/fork/strip-reports/. See docs/spec/SPEC.md §2.

Building

cargo build --release -p inbuxa          # the binary is target/release/inbuxa
docker build -t inbuxa .                 # or the container image

Settings are read from INBUXA_* environment variables. An existing Stalwart install's STALWART_* variables still work, with a warning to rename them. New installs keep their data in /var/lib/inbuxa and logs in /var/log/inbuxa. Existing installs keep the paths their configuration already names, so none of their data moves.
