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.
If you supplied an unrecognizable address to our email system,
or you had EMAIL_GATEWAY_PATTERN configured wrong,
the get_missed_message_token_from_address() used to crash
hard and cryptically with a traceback saying that you can't
call startswith() on a None object.
Now we throw a ZulipEmailForwardError exception. This will
still lead to a traceback, but it should be easier to diagnose
the problem.
In our email mirror, we have a special format for missed
message emails that uses a 32-bit randomly generated token
that we put into redis that is then prefixed with "mm" for
a total of 34 characters.
We had a bug where we would mis-classify emails like
mmcfoo@example.com as being these system-generated emails
that were part of the redis setup.
It's actually a little unclear how the bug in the library
function would have manifested from the user's point of view,
but it was definitely buggy code, and it's possibly related in
a subtle way to an error report we got from a customer where
only one of their users, who happened to have a name like
mmcfoo, was having problems with the mirror.
This has the nice side effect of getting rid of the now-unnecessary
ADMIN_DOMAIN from this codepath -- we really just want whichever
realm ERROR_BOT is in.
This fixes a regression where missed message emails would not be sent
at all in the event that EMAIL_GATEWAY_PATTERN was unset.
The overall experience still isn't great, but it's better than crashing.
Fixes: #1411
[commit message expanded by tabbott]
This reverts commit f1f48f305e.
The use of sklearn unfortunately caused a substantial slowdown to the
Zulip provisioning process, which didn't seem worth it for a
relatively minor feature.
get_display_recipient's annotation clashes with other wrong annotations.
Fix those wrong annotations.
Since get_display_recipient returns a Union, use isinstance checks and
casts to make mypy checks succeed.
Prior to adding reply-to-missed-message-email functionality, adding
automated tests for simpler case - incoming stream messages. Added
to new file test_email_mirror.py.
Also removed the "if not body" code from process_stream_message that
will never run because of an upstream ZulipEmailForwardError exception.
The do_send_missedmessage_events_reply_in_zulip function in the email
mirror didn't support EMAIL_GATEWAY_PATTERN that wasn't of the form
%s@example.com (which resulted in replies to missed message emails failing
to be parsed).
* Fixes a few bugs with missed message address for PMs and huddles.
* Uses missed message address for all missed message reply-to headers on
the zulip.com realm.

The one time use address are a unique token which maps to stored stated
in redis. We store the user_id, recipient_id, and subject. When an email
is received at this address it is sent to the stored recipient by the
stored user. Anyone with this address can send a single message as this
user.

Previously, the email mirror queue worker used the API bindings to send
messages to Zulip, as if it were any other API client.
This is inefficient since we're running the worker inside the Django
context on a machine with database access; we can instead just use the
internal message-sending functions we use elsewhere. This also resolves
potential issues with SSL certificates, etc. that might occur when we
were previously making a HTTPS connection.
