Some emails coming in via the mail receiver can still end up
with bad encoding when trying to enqueue the job. This catches
the last encoding issue and forces iso-8559-1 and encodes to
UTF-8 to circumvent the issue.
We have found when receiving and posting inbound emails to the handle_mail route, it is better to POST the payload as a base64 encoded string to avoid strange encoding issues. This introduces a new param of `email_encoded` and maintains the legacy param of email, showing a deprecation warning. Eventually the old param of `email` will be dropped and the new one `email_encoded` will be the only way to handle_mail.
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
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
- 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
This lets an SMTP server optionally decide if it should reject a mail without
passing it on to Discourse at all, possibly before even reading the
email's payload, to prevent spam-induced backscatter and save resources.
This just does the bare minimum sanity checking that could prevent obvious
backscatter. For legit errors from legit users, Discourse will still send a
much more pleasant reply email.
