This should make it easier to track down how the incoming email was created, which is one of four locations:
The POP3 poller (which picks up reply via email replies)
The admin email controller #handle_mail (which is where hosted mail is sent)
The IMAP sync tool
The group SMTP mailer, which sends emails when replying to IMAP topics, pre-emptively creating IncomingEmail records to avoid double syncing
Fixes a rare race condition causing the `Imap::Sync` class to create an incoming email and associated post/topic, which then kicks off the PostAlerter to notify others in the PM about a reply in the topic, but for the OP which is not necessary (because the person emailing the IMAP inbox already knows about the OP). Basically, we should never be sending the group SMTP email for the first post in a topic.
Also in this PR:
* Custom attribute accessors for the to/from/cc addresses on `IncomingEmail`, to parse them from an array to a joined string so the logic for this is only in one place.
* Store extra detail against the `IncomingEmail` created in `GroupSmtpMailer`
* regex test Mail header Reply-To as string instead of Field, which fixes `warning: deprecated Object#=~ is called on Mail::Field; it always returns nil`
* Add DEBUG_IMAP to log all IMAP logs as warnings for easier debugging
* Changed the Rails logging to `ImapSyncLog` in the `GroupSmtpMailer`
There is a site setting reply_by_email_enabled which when combined with reply_by_email_address creates a Reply-To header in emails in the format "test+%{reply_key}@test.com" along with a PostReplyKey record, so when replying Discourse knows where to route the reply.
However this conflicts with the IMAP implementation. Since we are sending the email for a group via SMTP and from their actual email account, we want all replys to go to that email account as well so the IMAP sync job can pick them up and put them in the correct place. So if the group has IMAP enabled and configured, then the reply-to header will be correct.
This PR also makes a further fix to 64b0b50 by using the correct recipient user for the PostReplyKey record. If the post user is used we encounter this error:
if destination.user_id != user.id && !forwarded_reply_key?(destination, user)
raise ReplyUserNotMatchingError, "post_reply_key.user_id => #{destination.user_id.inspect}, user.id => #{user.id.inspect}"
end
This is because the user above is found from the from_address, but the destination which is the PostReplyKey is made by the post.user, which will be different people.
Our Email::Sender class accepts an optional user argument, which is used to create a PostReplyKey record when present. This record is used to sub out the %{reply_key} placeholder in the Reply-To mail header, so if we do not pass in the user we get a broken Reply-To header.
This is especially problematic in the IMAP group SMTP situation, because these emails go to customers that we are replying to, and when they reply to us the email bounces! This fixes the issue by passing user to the Email::Sender when sending a group_smtp email but there is still more to do in another PR.
This Email::Sender optional user is a bit of a footgun IMO, especially because most of the time we use it there is a user we can source. I would like to do another PR for this after this one to make the parameter not optional, so we don't end up with these reply issues down the line again.
