Our old group SMTP SSL option was a checkbox,
but this was not ideal because there are actually
3 different ways SSL can be used when sending
SMTP:
* None
* SSL/TLS
* STARTTLS
We got around this before with specific overrides
for Gmail, but it's not flexible enough and now people
want to use other providers. It's best to be clear,
though it is a technical detail. We provide a way
to test the SMTP settings before saving them so there
should be little chance of messing this up.
This commit also converts GroupEmailSettings to a glimmer
component.
This change how we present attachments from incoming emails to now be "hidden" in a "[details]" so they don't "hang" at the end of the post.
This is especially useful when using Discourse as a support tool where email is the main communication channel. For various reasons, images are often duplicated by email user agents, and hiding them behind the details block help keep the conversation focused on the isssue at hand.
Internal ref t/122333
Introduced back in 2022 in
e3d495850d,
our new more specific message-id format for inbound and
outbound emails has now been in use for a very long time,
we can remove the support for the old formats:
`topic/:topic_id/:post_id.:random@:host`
`topic/:topic_id@:host`
`topic/:topic_id.:random@:host`
This is a follow up of 5fcb7c262d
It was missing the case where secure uploads is enabled, which creates a copy of the upload no matter what.
So this checks for the original_sha1 of the uploads as well when checking for duplicates.
## What?
Depending on the email software used, when you reply to an email that has some attachments, they will be sent along, since they're part of the embedded (replied to) email.
When Discourse processes the reply as an incoming email, it will automatically add all the (valid) attachments at the end of the post. Including those that were sent as part of the "embedded reply".
This generates posts in Discourse with duplicate attachments 🙁
## How?
When processing attachments of an incoming email, before we add it to the bottom of the post, we check it against all the previous uploads in the same topic. If there already is an `Upload` record, it means that it's a duplicate and it is _therefore_ skipped.
All the inline attachments are left untouched since they're more likely new attachments added by the sender.
For performance reasons we don't automatically add fabricated users to trust level auto-groups. However, when explicitly passing a trust level to the fabricator, in 99% of cases it means that trust level is relevant for the test, and we need the groups.
This change makes it so that when a trust level is explicitly passed to the fabricator, the auto-groups are refreshed. There's no longer a need to also pass refresh_auto_groups: true, which means clearer tests, fewer mistakes, and less confusion.
We have all these calls to Group.refresh_automatic_groups! littered throughout the tests. Including tests that are seemingly unrelated to groups. This is because automatic group memberships aren't fabricated when making a vanilla user. There are two places where you'd want to use this:
You have fabricated a user that needs a certain trust level (which is now based on group membership.)
You need the system user to have a certain trust level.
In the first case, we can pass refresh_auto_groups: true to the fabricator instead. This is a more lightweight operation that only considers a single user, instead of all users in all groups.
The second case is no longer a thing after #25400.
This change converts the min_trust_to_create_topic site setting to
create_topic_allowed_groups.
See: https://meta.discourse.org/t/283408
- Hides the old setting
- Adds the new site setting
- Add a deprecation warning
- Updates to use the new setting
- Adds a migration to fill in the new setting if the old setting was
changed
- Adds an entry to the site_setting.keywords section
- Updates tests to account for the new change
- After a couple of months, we will remove the min_trust_to_create_topicsetting entirely.

This change refactors the check `user.groups.any?` and instead uses
`user.staged?` to check if the user is staged or not.
Also fixes several tests to ensure the users have their auto trust level
groups created.

The most common thing that we do with fab! is:
fab!(:thing) { Fabricate(:thing) }
This commit adds a shorthand for this which is just simply:
fab!(:thing)
i.e. If you omit the block, then, by default, you'll get a `Fabricate`d object using the fabricator of the same name.
https://meta.discourse.org/t/improving-mailman-email-parsing/253041
When mirroring a public mailling list which uses mailman, there were some cases where the incoming email was not associated to the proper user.
As it happens, for various (undertermined) reasons, the email from the sender is often not in the `From` header but can be in any of the following headers: `Reply-To`, `CC`, `X-Original-From`, `X-MailFrom`.
It might be in other headers as well, but those were the ones we found the most reliable.
This header is used by Microsoft Exchange to indicate when certain types of
autoresponses should not be generated for an email.
It triggers our "is this mail autogenerated?" detection, but should not be used
for this purpose.
* DEV: Remove enable_whispers site setting
Whispers are enabled as long as there is at least one group allowed to
whisper, see whispers_allowed_groups site setting.
* DEV: Always enable whispers for admins if at least one group is allowed.
See https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-email-messages-are-incorrectly-threaded/233499
for thorough reasoning.
This commit changes how we generate Message-IDs and do email
threading for emails sent from Discourse. The main changes are
as follows:
* Introduce an outbound_message_id column on Post that
is either a) filled with a Discourse-generated Message-ID
the first time that post is used for an outbound email
or b) filled with an original Message-ID from an external
mail client or service if the post was created from an
incoming email.
* Change Discourse-generated Message-IDs to be more consistent
and static, in the format `discourse/post/:post_id@:host`
* Do not send References or In-Reply-To headers for emails sent
for the OP of topics.
* Make sure that In-Reply-To is filled with either a) the OP's
Message-ID if the post is not a direct reply or b) the parent
post's Message-ID
* Make sure that In-Reply-To has all referenced post's Message-IDs
* Make sure that References is filled with a chain of Message-IDs
from the OP down to the parent post of the new post.
We also are keeping X-Discourse-Post-Id and X-Discourse-Topic-Id,
headers that we previously removed, for easier visual debugging
of outbound emails.
Finally, we backfill the `outbound_message_id` for posts that have
a linked `IncomingEmail` record, using the `message_id` of that record.
We do not need to do that for posts that don't have an incoming email
since they are backfilled at runtime if `outbound_message_id` is missing.
The maximum_staged_users_per_email site setting controls how many
staged users will be invited to the topic created from an incoming
email. Previously, it counted only the new staged users.
Under some conditions, replacing an `<img` with `![]()` can break rendering, and make the image disappear.

It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
This allows text editors to use correct syntax coloring for the heredoc sections.
Heredoc tag names we use:
languages: SQL, JS, RUBY, LUA, HTML, CSS, SCSS, SH, HBS, XML, YAML/YML, MF, ICS
other: MD, TEXT/TXT, RAW, EMAIL
