For internal stream messages, most of the time, we have access to
a Stream object. For the few corner cases where we don't, it is a
much cleaner approach to have a separate function that accepts a
stream name than having one multi-option helper that accepts both
names and objects.
If the caller has access to a Stream object, it is wasteful to
query a database for a stream by ID or name. In addition, not
having to go through stream names eliminates various classes of
possible bugs involved with re-fetching the Stream object by name.
Previously, we had some hand-written logic for parsing the subject
line of the email's headers and turning it into a Python string using
each of the valid encodings for an email. That logic was buggy, and
sometimes resulted in a bytes object being passed into the
`send_zulip`, which would eventually throw an exception.
The fix for this is to use the Python standard library make_header
method for handling internationalized email headers.

Fixes part 1 of #10612. We use a regex to remove RE:, FWD: (and similar
variations) from email subjects. Unit test is included, we add
subjects.json in fixtures containing various subjects to try the
stripping on.
When trying to find the email gateway address, use the
`email.util.getaddresses` function to deal with cases
where multiple recipients are included in the email header
or the stream address appears as an angle-addr with a
name given (e.g. if someone added it to their address book).
Added some other headers where the required address may
appear: "Resent" headers are sometimes used for forwarding,
and streams may also be found in CC. There is no way to find
the address if the email was recieved as a BCC.
This library was absolutely essential as part of our Python 2->3
migration process, but all of its calls should be either no-ops or
encode/decode operations.
Note also that the library has been wrong since the incorrect
refactoring in 1f9244e060.
Fixes#10807.
Change the truncation marker from `...` to `\n[message truncated]`
when receiving messages from the API or through e-mail. Also, update
tests to account for the new change.
Fix#10871.
Generally emails are not written with markdown in mind and hence
sometimes render in strange ways. This commit fixes a particular
issue that was causing whitespace before paragraphs to be treated
as code block due to which email content was being rendered in a
box that scrolls in right direction a lot.
Fixes: #7045.
They're rarely useful, usually displayed invisibly in most tools
anyway, and this helps make sure the message makes it into Zulip
rather than being rejected.
Redis and the Redis client know nothing but bytes. When we take a
`bytes` object it returns and pass it down as `subject` here, it
causes an exception deep inside message processing if the realm has
any filters, when `bugdown.subject_links` attempts to search the
subject for the filters, which are of course `str` patterns.
For symmetry, make the conversion to bytes on the storing side
explicit too.
This fixes a performance problem where we were previously starting up
a full Django process (~0.7s even on a fast machine) every time a new
email came in, potentially allowing users to accidentally DoS a Zulip
server. Now, we just post over HTTPS, allowing the existing thread
pool support to do its job.
- Add script wrapper to communicate postfix pipe with django web server
over HTTP(S). It uses shared_secret authentication mode.
- Add django view to process messages from email mirror server.
- Clean management command `email-mirror`. Left just functional
for cron email processing.
- Add routes for new tornado view.
- Change pipe script in master process postfix config template
based on updated script.
- Add tests.
Tweaked by tabbott to adjust the directory and set better defaults.
Fixes#2421.
A lot of care has been taken to ensure we're using the realm that the
message is being sent into, not the realm of the sender, to correctly
handle the logic for cross-realm bot users such as the notifications
bot.
