# Support for Relay Hosts

# Description:
# This helper is responsible for configuring outbound SMTP (delivery) through relay-hosts.
#
# When mail is sent from Postfix, it is considered relaying to that destination (or the next hop).
# By default delivery external of the container would be direct to the MTA of the recipient address (destination).
# Alternatively mail can be indirectly delivered to the destination by routing through a different MTA (relay-host service).
#
# This helper is only concerned with relaying mail from authenticated submission (ports 587 + 465).
# Thus it does not deal with `relay_domains` (which routes through `relay_transport` transport, default: `master.cf:relay`),
# that is intended for forwarding inbound mail (including from port 25) for any permitted domains.

# User Docs:
# https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/config/advanced/mail-forwarding/relay-hosts/

# Supported `setup` commands:
# setup.sh relay add-auth <domain> <username> [<password>]
# https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/blob/master/target/bin/addsaslpassword
#
# setup.sh relay add-domain <domain> <host> [<port>]
# https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/blob/master/target/bin/addrelayhost
#
# setup.sh relay exclude-domain <domain>
# https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/blob/master/target/bin/excluderelaydomain

# Responsible for these files:
# postfix-sasl-password.cf
# postfix-relaymap.cf
# /etc/postfix/relayhost_map
# /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
#
# The config syntax uses white-space (any length is valid) to separate values on the same line.
# The table type `texthash` does not need to go through `postmap` after changes.
# It is however sensitive to changes when replacing the file with new content instead of appending.
# `postfix reload` or `supervisorctl restart postfix` should be run to properly apply config (which it is).
# Otherwise use another table type such as `hash` and run `postmap` on the table after modification.
#
# WARNING: Databases (tables above) are rebuilt during change detection. There is a minor chance of
# a lookup occuring during a rebuild of these files that may affect or delay delivery?
# TODO: Should instead perform an atomic operation with a temporary file + `mv` to replace?
# Or switch back to using `hash` table type if plaintext access is not needed (unless retaining file for postmap).
# Either way, plaintext copy is likely accessible if using our supported configs for providing them to the container.


# NOTE: Present support has enforced wrapping the relay host with `[]` (prevents DNS MX record lookup),
# which restricts what is supported by RELAY_HOST, although you usually do want to provide MX host directly.
# NOTE: Present support expects to always append a port with an implicit default of `25`.
# NOTE: DEFAULT_RELAY_HOST imposes neither restriction.
#
# TODO: RELAY_PORT should be optional, it will use the transport default port (`postconf smtp_tcp_port`),
# That shouldn't be a breaking change, as long as the mapping is maintained correctly.
# TODO: RELAY_HOST should consider dropping `[]` and require the user to include that?
# Future refactor for _populate_relayhost_map may warrant dropping these two ENV in favor of DEFAULT_RELAY_HOST?

# If the issue was to opt-out select domains, if avoiding a default relay-host was not an option, then mapping those sender domains or addresses

# Relevant Postfix docs
#

# Enabling SASL authentication in the Postfix SMTP/LMTP client:

#
# Explains required settings for SASL client auth with relay support:
# smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
# smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt
# smtp_tls_security_options = noanonymous
#
# Details that configured relay-hosts must have an exact match for
# successful credentials lookup in `smtp_sasl_password_maps`.
#
# Advises that `/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd` is read+write only (600) for root,
# Along with an example using `hash` lookup table instead of `texthash`.

# Configuring sender-dependent SASL authentication:
# https://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#client_sasl_sender
#
# Explains that `/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd` table may map lookups by
# sender address or relay-host as keys to `user:password` values.
# Sender address has priority over relay-host and only supported when
# enabled with: `smtp_sender_dependent_authentication = yes`.
#
# Likewise those senders can be matched to different relay-hosts in the:
# `sender_dependent_relayhost_maps` table, otherwise they will fallback
# to the default relay-host (`main.cf:relayhost` setting).



#
# Advice to maintainers

# WARNING: Maintainers be wary of relay service docs/blogs, especially their advice for configuring Postfix.
#
# Not necessary:
# - `smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes` - Only adds a log to know when an unencrypted
#   connection was made, but STARTTLS was offered:
#   https://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer
# - `smtp_use_tls = yes` - Implied when using `smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt`:

# They describes port 465 support akin to it's prior purpose before RFC 8314 (2018).
# Every other supported port is considered "TLS" which is presumably explicit TLS (STARTTLS),
