Since 3b13f1146b the email threading
in mail clients has been broken, because the random suffix meant
that the References header would always be different for non-group
SMTP email notifications sent out.
This commit fixes the issue by always using the "canonical" topic
reference ID inside the References header in the format:
topic/TOPIC_ID@HOST
Which was the old format. We also add the References header to
notifications sent for the first post arriving, so the threading
works for subsequent emails. The Message-ID header is still random
as per the previous change.
Currently the Message-IDs we send out for outbound email
are not unique; for a post they look like:
topic/TOPIC_ID/POST_ID@HOST
And for a topic they look like:
topic/TOPIC_ID@HOST
This commit changes the outbound Message-IDs to also have
a random suffix before the host, so the new format is
like this:
topic/TOPIC_ID/POST_ID.RANDOM_SUFFIX@HOST
Or:
topic/TOPIC_ID.RANDOM_SUFFIX@HOST
This should help with email deliverability. This change
is backwards-compatible, the old Message-ID format will
still be recognized in the mail receiver flow, so people
will still be able to reply using Message-IDs, In-Reply-To,
and References headers that have already been sent.
This commit also refactors Message-ID related logic
to a central location, and adds judicious amounts of
tests and documentation.
* FIX: Remove List-Post email header
This header is used for mailing lists and can confuse some email clients
such as Thunderbird to display wrong replying options.
* FIX: Replace reply_key in email custom headers
Admins can add custom email headers from site settings. Email sender
will try to replace the reply key if %{reply_key} exists or remove the
header if a reply key does not exist.
Inlining secure images with the same name was not possible because they
were indexed by filename. If an email contained two files with the same
name, only the first image was used for both of them. The other file
was still attached to the email.
This PR backtracks a fair bit on this one https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/13220/files.
Instead of sending the group SMTP email for each user via `UserNotifications`, we are changing to send only one email with the existing `Jobs::GroupSmtpEmail` job and `GroupSmtpMailer`. We are changing this job and mailer along with `PostAlerter` to make the first topic allowed user the `to_address` for the email and any other `topic_allowed_users` to be the CC address on the email. This is to cut down on emails sent via SMTP, which is subject to daily limits from providers such as Gmail. We log these details in the `EmailLog` table now.
In addition to this, we have changed `PostAlerter` to no longer rely on incoming email email addresses for sending the `GroupSmtpEmail` job. This was unreliable as a user's email could have changed in the meantime. Also it was a little overcomplicated to use the incoming email records -- it is far simpler to reason about to just use topic allowed users.
This also adds a fix to include cc_addresses in the EmailLog.addressed_to_user scope.
This adds the following columns to EmailLog:
* cc_addresses
* cc_user_ids
* topic_id
* raw
This is to bring the EmailLog table closer in parity to
IncomingEmail so it can be better utilized for Group SMTP
and IMAP mailing.
The raw column contains the full content of the outbound email,
but _only_ if the new hidden site setting
enable_raw_outbound_email_logging is enabled. Most sites do not
need it, and it's mostly required for IMAP and SMTP sending.
In the next pull request, there will be a migration to backfill
topic_id on the EmailLog table, at which point we can remove the
topic fallback method on EmailLog.
When we are emailing people from a group inbox, we are having
a PM conversation with them, as a support account would. In this
case mailing list headers do not make sense. It is not like a forum
topic where you may have tens or hundreds of participants -- it is a
conversation between the group and a small handful of people
directly contacting the group, often just one person.
The only header left in tact was List-Unsubsribe which is important
for letting people opt out to notifications.
Adds a new `smtp_group_id` column to `EmailLog` which is filled in if the mail `from_address` matches a group's `email_username`. This is for easier debugging, so we know which emails have been sent via group SMTP.
Discourse shouldn't dynamically calculate the path of uploads and optimized images after a file has been stored on disk or S3. Otherwise it might calculate the wrong path if the SHA1 or extension stored in the database doesn't match the actual file path.
This PR adds security_last_changed_at and security_last_changed_reason to uploads. This has been done to make it easier to track down why an upload's secure column has changed and when. This necessitated a refactor of the UploadSecurity class to provide reasons why the upload security would have changed.
As well as this, a source is now provided from the location which called for the upload's security status to be updated as they are several (e.g. post creator, topic security updater, rake tasks, manual change).
When calculating whether the attached uploads went over the SiteSetting.email_total_attachment_size_limit_kb.kilobytes limit, we were using the original_upload for the calculation instead of the actually attached_upload, which will be smaller in most cases because it can be an optimized image.
We had an issue where onebox thumbnail was too large and thus was optimized, and we are using the image URLs in post to redact and re-embed, based on the sha1 in the URL. Optimized image URLs have extra stuff on the end like _99x99 so we were not parsing out the sha1 correctly. Another issue I found was for posts that have giant images, the original was being used to embed in the email and thus would basically never get included because it is huge.
For example the URL 787b17ea61_2_690x335.jpeg was not parsed correctly; we would end up with 787b17ea6140f4f022eb7f1509a692f2873cfe35_2_690x335.jpeg as the sha1 which would not find the image to re-embed that was already attached to the email.
This fix will use the first optimized image of the detected upload when we are redacting and then re-embedding to make sure we are not sending giant things in email. Also, I detect if it is a onebox thumbnail or the site icon and force appropriate sizes and styles.
See https://meta.discourse.org/t/email-address-change-confirmation-email-not-sent-but-every-other-notification-emails-are/165358
In short: with disable emails set to non-staff, email address change confirmation emails (those sent to the new address) are not sent for staff or admin members.
This was happening because we were looking up the staff user with the to_address of the email, but the to address was the new email address because we are sending a confirm email change email, and thus the user could not be found. We didn't need to do this anyway because we are passing the user into the Email::Sender class anyway.
Extracted commonly used spec helpers into spec/support/uploads_helpers.rb, removed unused stubs and let definitions. Makes it easier to write new S3-related specs without copy and pasting setup steps from other specs.
We are making the changes from the PR #10563 the default behaviour. Now, if secure media is enabled, secure images will be embedded in emails by default instead of redacting them and displaying a message. This will be a nicer overall experience by default, and for forums that want to be super strict with redaction this setting can always be disabled.
This PR introduces a few important changes to secure media redaction in emails. First of all, two new site settings have been introduced:
* `secure_media_allow_embed_images_in_emails`: If enabled we will embed secure images in emails instead of redacting them.
* `secure_media_max_email_embed_image_size_kb`: The cap to the size of the secure image we will embed, defaulting to 1mb, so the email does not become too big. Max is 10mb. Works in tandem with `email_total_attachment_size_limit_kb`.
`Email::Sender` will now attach images to the email based on these settings. The sender will also call `inline_secure_images` in `Email::Styles` after secure media is redacted and attachments are added to replace redaction messages with attached images. I went with attachment and `cid` URLs because base64 image support is _still_ flaky in email clients.
All redaction of secure media is now handled in `Email::Styles` and calls out to `PrettyText.strip_secure_media` to do the actual stripping and replacing with placeholders. `app/mailers/group_smtp_mailer.rb` and `app/mailers/user_notifications.rb` no longer do any stripping because they are earlier in the pipeline than `Email::Styles`.
Finally the redaction notice has been restyled and includes a link to the media that the user can click, which will show it to them if they have the necessary permissions.
Two behaviors in the mail gem collide:
1. Attachments are added as extra parts at the top level,
2. When there are both text and html parts, the content type is set to
'multipart/alternative'.
Since attachments aren't alternative renderings, for emails that contain
attachments and both html and text parts, some coercing is necessary.
This feature is off by default and can can be configured with the `email_total_attachment_size_limit_kb` site setting.

* Introduced fab!, a helper that creates database state for a group
It's almost identical to let_it_be, except:
1. It creates a new object for each test by default,
2. You can disable it using PREFABRICATION=0
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
- The test_email job is removed, because it was always being run synchronously (not in sidekiq)
- 34b29f62 added a bypass for critical emails, to match the spec. This removes the bypass, and removes the spec.
- This adapts the specs for 72ffabf6, so that they check for emails being sent
- This reimplements c2797921, allowing test emails to be sent even when emails are disabled
We now optionally add a Variable Email Return Path to every email we send.
This allows us to cleanly handle email bounces, which in turn will improve
deliverability.
Since rspec-rails 3, the default installation creates two helper files:
* `spec_helper.rb`
* `rails_helper.rb`
`spec_helper.rb` is intended as a way of running specs that do not
require Rails, whereas `rails_helper.rb` loads Rails (as Discourse's
current `spec_helper.rb` does).
For more information:
https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/upgrade#default-helper-files
In this commit, I've simply replaced all instances of `spec_helper` with
`rails_helper`, and renamed the original `spec_helper.rb`.
This brings the Discourse project closer to the standard usage of RSpec
in a Rails app.
At present, every spec relies on loading Rails, but there are likely
many that don't need to. In a future pull request, I hope to introduce a
separate, minimal `spec_helper.rb` which can be used in tests which
don't rely on Rails.
