Now a sysop can "perm block" a client (IP address) for a limited amount of time rather than always forever. Add more displays of the ip.can details when actively blocking a client. Moved twit/trash functions from userdat.c to trash.c

I wanted a couple of features for filters (e.g. blocked IP addreses): - expiration date, optionally (only block for a limited time) - display details of reason for filter in log messages (at time of block) I've been thinking for some time that these files should be converted to .ini, but then it occurred to me that I could do a sort of hybrid where the metadata was key/value pairs tab-delimited from the search-pattern (first text on the line). This is backward comaptible, relatively easy to view/edit by hand, and extensible (easy to add/remove metadata fields in the future). So they'll remain as text/*.can files. The maximum line length for findstr/trashcan parsed files extended from 255 to 1000 characters. Moved all trashcan-related functions from scfglib1.c to (new file) trash.c. For the first time, I actually tested a build on WSL *before* committing to Git. So, this *should* pass CI the first time. :-O

Many searches are done (e.g. in the mail server, QWK import) for either of 2 strings in single file or list, so let's optimize that to a single iteration through the file/list. This should reduce some redundant file I/O. I do find this API a little confusing with the filename or list at the end of the argument list, but kept it consistent with the existing single string findstr functions (which are now just wrappers for the new 2-string flavors). I noticed during this update that findstr() did not share the same behavior as findstr_in_list() (feature added in commit f08f2137) whereby if all the patterns were negative searches (beginning with '!'), then *all* the negative matches would have to be successful (not just the first) for the function to return true. So now findstr() behaves like findstr_in_list() in this regard. I also added some optimizations to findstr_in_string().

Using "Warning" log levels more for things that the sysop might be able to do something about. If it's just an input data validation (from a random TCP/IP client), use "Notice" log level instead. The terminal server log output is still the odd ball.

The log format and details might need some adjustment, but this is a start. Also, don't delay 3 seconds before disconnecting socket when mail server has reached maximum number of clients - we should immediately release resources (the socket) and be able to accept another connection ASAP instead. Deal with new CID 470557 and 470554 in mail server: resource (file*) leaks in error paths (corner case). Set minimum severity of TLS messages in web sever to INFO. Debug-level would hide some common TLS session errors.

The base64-encoded credentials can either be supplied with the AUTH PLAIN command or in response to a 334 server-challenge. We only supported the former form and logged a warning ("Missing AUTH PLAIN argument") when we received the latter. No warning is logged now and the appropriate server-challege is sent and the response accepted and base64-decoded and parsed as before.

And fix some use of CRYPT_UNUSED instead of cryptlib session ID.

My mail server was suddenly and inexplicably creating thousands of SMTPS client threads, each with a unique remote IP address, and each eventually failing with the rather obscure log message (from cryptlib): dbg 'Cannot read item from object' (-41) setting session active Eventually (after not long, really), the server would run out of resources and fail in weird and wonderful ways (can't malloc, can't create JS runtime or context, etc.). The max_clients limit (100, as I have it set) wasn't being effectively-imposed on SMTPS connections. The root-cause: the active_clients (counter) wasn't incremented until *after* the cryptlib/TLS setup for SMTPS connections and SMTPS/TLS connections can take a long time to fail, resulting in a vulnerability to an effective denial of service attack. Raise the minimum severity of all cryptlib/TLS log messages from Debug to Info. Create wrappers for smtp_thread() [now smtp_client_thread()] and pop3_thread [now pop3_client_thread()] that handle basic resource management (thread counters, active client counters, the client socket).

So Clang-FreeBSD was warning (in compiles of scfg/scfg*.c by Deuce): result of comparison of constant 100000 with expression of type 'uint16_t' (aka 'unsigned short') is always true Why? Cause a uint16_t's max value is 65535 (less than 100000). Sure we could have just lowered the UIFC max number of config items to 65535, but that would have been too easy. And why are these compared-with values of type uint16_t to begin with? Because most ctrl/*.cnf lists (of configuration items) were limited to 65535 entries cause ... 16-bit DOS, historically. Now that *.cnf files aren't used, we could just increase these scfg_t.*_total type sizes from 16 to 32-bits, yeah? The result is this commit. I went to (signed) int so we could still keep -1 as the special illegal sub/dir num value (e.g. INVALID_SUB, which is sometimes used to indicate the email message base). Theoretically, 2 billion configuration items could be supported in these lists, but SCFG will limit you to 100000 anyway. So there's a whole lot of s/uint/int in this commit. I'd be very surprised if this doesn't result in some new GCC/Clang warnings, but at least the old "comparison of constant 100000" warnings are now gone!

Or even weirder, u_long? And dereffing a ulong/u_long pointer where you expect to find an IPv4 address? Yet even weirder still. Fix that spit: It appears in_addr_t is defined on all platforms (?), so use that type instead.

No known sightings of these sites actually being the location of a segfault, but as we learned from the segfaults in rblchk(), the first entry in the h_addr_list can be NULL in some cases.

I'm not sure why this one only started popping up now, but h_addr_list is a NULL-terminated list and it makes perfect sense that the first entry could be the NULL-terminator. gethostbyname is obsolete/deprecated and we should address that in a separate commit.

A bunch of possible (but often, not really) use of undefined values. Some ignored return values (e.g. of chsize/ftruncate, read, write, fgets). Other than some added diagnostics upon some of these unexpected syscall failures, there should be no change in behavior from this commit.

The notification of offline users was removed from the mail server 13 years ago (commit 729eb16b) without a lot of fanfare or explanation. Add an option for notification of offline users (in addition to online users) for those sysops that want that behavior. Use the userdat is_user_online() function in place of the getnodedat() loop, which also wasn't considering nodes in "logon" status as having a user online.

smtp_netmail_addr() - not currently used anywhere else, but may be someday. load/mailutil.js's fidoaddr_to_emailaddr() has this same logic (for FTN addrs at least and is now used by nntpservice.js). Also, always pass a buffer to smb_faddrtoa() from the mail server since it's multi-threaded and its unsafe to pass NULL (using a static local buffer).

Pretty much any From field that contains an '@' in the username portion was subject to comparison to the full email address, but clearly some of these rejected emails were not forge attempts: 'Chris @ StubHub' vs 'events@mail.stubhub.com' 'Eric S. Raymond (@esr)' vs 'gitlab@mg.gitlab.com' Fixed by requiring that the sender name is actually a well-formed Internet email address using smb_netaddr_type(), which was also recently improved to be more accurate. Unrelated change: include reverse-path (email address for bounces) in ILLEGALLY-LONG body and header line log messages (usually SPAM from what I can tell).

SMTP commands have a shorter limit (510 versus 998) and the body text line limit needed to account for dot-stuffing.

Log a warning message and send a "500 Line too long" before disconnecting any SMTP client that sends lines > 998 characters in length. Technically, we can handle lines up to 1023 characters, but then we could get out of sync with the client if it sends exactly 1023 chars and then a new-line char (which we would interpret as a blank line, separating the message header and body) - so just punt the client who doesn't obey the rules of the protocol.

When sending an SMB message header via SMTP or POP3, some header fields (lines) could potentially be longer than 1024 and yet sockprintf() was limited to sending 1024 bytes (actually 1022 plus CRLF). This could result in some messages not being sent correctly: header field truncated, not CRLR-terminated, and notably resulting in MIME message contents not being decoded properly in a message viewer/reader. Example (Content-Type is part of the previous header field/line): x-ms-exchange-antispam-messagedata-0: =?us-ascii?Q?cm9T1Q9G65VC/lKTTqhODKhy5lHT2y6WWMb/WyvJ+EeGEwYmY7ILhzE3yfNM?= =?us-ascii?Q?KeFWN9T/PqHBya1plKf/sHgaw0iRmI7Hq+u9Dp4bG8OqdniKQlK+Aa27oXMd?= =?us-ascii?Q?Hly6OEYaSu7jbhGGY89LF0gyRVqquqxkaMfpKvG+h4cQnnu4Tl8YAKeE39a2?= =?us-ascii?Q?lHW3372ulmb9jvvZU72J2RtZYkuoIr+Wsqhfyuj39wTZ/+C4qKCsYrmTxrki?= =?us-ascii?Q?fBZ4gMPzWkrcWAr7zPcXBg8bphJJB8VJFUjQyksA3EG4dtH8+TZeEcNNBmHf?= =?us-ascii?Q?oCGnV9wHr9HszzrSkkZ2GGyh3QZLHAVDNe7wDXSy7HJttZugf9kNqKGeaYQL?= =?us-ascii?Q?TpljH1aHPe7MiSP9Dmp/xHQ/DWQOZDx5guNS+iMciMt5p5ad+SkQye0hWRhd?= =?us-ascii?Q?usHvpllclzIee6lxJ0VSPAzHGlAOhtOolrHdDB2ODjvkEzU7L2Fj2f5x7p9q?= =?us-ascii?Q?9d6sUgSz7vZVx8yyR3KPq3jIX0QUnl0xr2Mix9xcmMNcg0yFLPcznqBdLVa8?= =?us-ascii?Q?IC7j0+8oy4BjYxr8Z3elxMC2JKq13gPYgR95cwm6hMDiZbMB4EW/J1uJhD/I?= =?us-ascii?Q?RIIqTZ+Ywt8nKOfXj6/a9Aauf0wN71QKKA+in7KY9oksIhkUGvWOrtJwkVDL?= =?us-ascii?Q?Q2UFrBBJyQHJgumj5Y+bG8FDk/55IfyV9XYEcsdLL4bCF+HX4QPHZCw4P+li?= =?us-ascii?Q?bRvN+UxOO8hgXVkgB1q8mNJ62yQuaj0AContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="_000_SN6PR07MB454477F4C32C66D48BA0B02187A09SN6PR07MB4544namp_" Solved by using asprintf() instead of snprintf() for dynamic string formatting and allocation in one go.

Each Synchronet server is now its own MQTT client. This means there's no longer any MQTT logic in the Synchronet "hosts" (e.g. sbbscon.c, ctrl/*.cpp) and none needed for SBBS NT services (they'll "just work" with MQTT). This also means that just about everything (except for nodes, spam and hack) is now published per-server (in the sbbs/BBS-ID/hostname/server/ topic branch) and if you want aggregated totals or client lists, you'll have to do that in your own MQTT client or dashboard. I also removed the publishing of thread_count and socket_count topics as they weren't universally supported across all servers and are of questionable value. They can be added back later if determined to be useful.
