· Föderation EN Sa 10.05.2025 11:47:18 @delta Thanks, I read the documentation on chatmail relay and I seem to get the idea. Not sure about real censorship but it should certainly help with passing corporate firewalls as many restrict mail ports. Now I want my mail server to have this too :) I like the idea of Delta Chat using normal mail server though so consider posting official instructions on expected configuration for DC to failover/prefer HTTPS. Maybe omit any circumvention trickery if any. I seem to understand how it works from the source code but it would be nice to have concise documentation. |
Föderation EN Sa 10.05.2025 21:55:15 @shuro Adapting chatmail relays, or some parts of it, to non-debian12 systems, or docker, or junohost or non postfix/dovecot systems or different TLS-cert setups etc. is all interesting but nothing that the chatmail relay dev team will focus on any time soon. If you figure something out, it could be linked from the current relay repo or maybe https://chatmail.at |
Föderation EN Sa 10.05.2025 22:31:49 @delta I meant not this but rather describing (or maybe it is out there somewhere already?) specification of Delta Chat port discovery. Something like: "if you want DC to failover to HTTPS port on your mail server you need to add this SRV record... / this autodiscover.xml file in your webroot following this syntax..." I kind of get what Delta Chat expects to see by looking at the source code and existing relays but it would be nice to know official spec - e.g. like XMPP or Matrix clearly define how clients discover ports and what servers should/may return to them. |
Föderation EN Sa 10.05.2025 22:44:22 @shuro there is no official spec for the network setup. Again, if you do a write up of your findings after your source code study, it might get linked from the repo/site. |
Föderation EN So 11.05.2025 11:02:04 @shuro there is this pull request where it was implemented though: https://github.com/chatmail/relay/pull/357/files Maybe that helps at finding out what to do. |
