hMailServer

Miradi inayofuata mazoea bora hapa chini inaweza kujihakikisha kwa hiari na kuonyesha kuwa wamepata nishani ya mazoea bora ya Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF).

Hakuna seti ya mazoea yawezayo kuhakikisha kuwa programu haitakuwa na kasoro au udhaifu; hata mbinu rasmi zinaweza kushindwa ikiwa vipimo au dhana ni sahihi. Wala hakuna seti ya mazoea yawezayo kuhakikisha kuwa mradi utaendelea kuwa na jamii ya maendeleo yenye afya na inayofanya kazi vizuri. Hata hivyo, kufuata mazoea bora kunaweza kusaidia kuboresha matokeo ya miradi. Kwa mfano, baadhi ya mazoea huwezesha ukaguzi wa watu wengi kabla ya kutolewa, ambayo inaweza kusaidia kupata udhaifu wa kiufundi ambao vinginevyo ni vigumu kupata na kusaidia kujenga uaminifu na hamu ya mwingiliano wa kurudia kati ya wasanidi programu kutoka makampuni tofauti. Ili kupata nishani, vigezo vyote vya LAZIMA na LAZIMA WALA USIWAHI lazima vifuatwe, vigezo vyote vya INAPASWA lazima vifuatwe AU visivyo fufufutiliana na thibitisho, na vigezo vyote vya PENDEKEZA lazima vifuatwe AU visivyo fufufutiliana (tunataka vifikiwe angalau). Ikiwa unataka kuingiza maandishi ya thibitisho kama maoni ya jumla, badala ya kuwa maelezo ya busara kwamba hali ni inakubaliwa, anza kifungu cha maandishi na '//' ikifuatiwa na nafasi. Maoni ni karibu kupitia tovuti ya GitHub kama masuala au maombi ya kuvuta Kuna pia orodha ya barua pepe kwa majadiliano ya jumla.

Tunafuraha kutoa habari katika lugha nyingi, hata hivyo, ikiwa kuna mgongano au kutokuwa na usawa kati ya tafsiri, toleo la Kiingereza ni toleo lenye mamlaka.
Ikiwa huu ni mradi wako, tafadhali onyesha hadhi ya nishani yako kwenye ukurasa wa mradi wako! Hadhi ya nishani inaonekana kama hii: Kiwango cha nishani kwa mradi 14949 ni gold Hapa ni jinsi ya kuiweka:

  • Jumla

    Kumbuka kwamba miradi mingine inaweza kutumia jina sawa.

    hMailServer is a free, open-source mail server for Windows and Linux, implementing SMTP, IMAP and POP3, with webmail, a REST API and a Control Panel. It is a maintained fork of Martin Knafve's hMailServer, brought up to date with a current toolchain, current cryptography, and the transport-security and authentication standards expected of a mail server in 2026.

    Tafadhali tumia muundo wa maneno ya leseni ya SPDX; mifano ni pamoja na "Apache-2.0", "BSD-2-Clause", "BSD-3-Clause", "GPL-2.0+", "LGPL-3.0+", "MIT", na "(BSD-2-Clause OR Ruby)". Usitumie alama za nukuu za moja au mbili.
    Ikiwa kuna lugha zaidi ya moja, ziorodhe kama thamani zilizotengwa kwa koma (nafasi ni za hiari) na ziorodhe kuanzia iliyotumiwa zaidi hadi iliyotumiwa kidogo. Ikiwa kuna orodha ndefu, tafadhali orodhesha angalau tatu za kawaida zaidi. Ikiwa hakuna lugha (k.m., huu ni mradi wa nyaraka tu au wa majaribio tu), tumia herufi moja "-". Tafadhali tumia herufi kubwa za kawaida kwa kila lugha, k.m., "JavaScript".
    Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) ni mpango wa kuweka majina yenye muundo kwa mifumo ya teknolojia ya habari, programu, na vifurushi. Inatumika katika mifumo na hifadhidata nyingi wakati wa kuripoti udhaifu.

  • Mahitaji ya awali


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi LAZIMA ufikie nishani ya kiwango cha kuhitimu. [achieve_passing]

  • Maudhui ya kimsingi ya tovuti ya mradi


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Habari juu ya jinsi ya kuchangia LAZIMA ijumuishe mahitaji ya michango inayokubalika (k.m., rejea kwa kiwango chochote kinachohitajika cha msimbo). (URL inahitajika) [contribution_requirements]

    CONTRIBUTING.md and the merge request template state what an acceptable contribution needs: one logical change from the current master, a warning-free build (/WX, -warnaserror), a regression test for new behaviour, parameterised SQL only, the coding style and licence header, and a Signed-off-by (DCO) on every commit from an outside contributor. The Code of Conduct also applies. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md


  • Usimamizi wa mradi


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi UNAPASWA kuwa na utaratibu wa kisheria ambapo wasanidi wote wa kiasi kisicho kidogo cha programu ya mradi wanathibitisha kwamba wameruhusiwa kisheria kufanya michango hii. Mbinu ya kawaida na rahisi ya kutekeleza hii ni kwa kutumia Cheti cha Msanidi cha Asili (DCO), ambapo watumiaji huongeza "signed-off-by" katika ahadi zao na mradi unaunganisha kwenye tovuti ya DCO. Hata hivyo, hii YAWEZA kutekelezwa kama Makubaliano ya Leseni ya Mchangiaji (CLA), au utaratibu mwingine wa kisheria. (URL inahitajika) [dco]
    DCO ni utaratibu unaopendekeza kwa sababu ni rahisi kutekeleza, kufuatilia katika msimbo wa chanzo, na git inasaidia moja kwa moja kipengele cha "signed-off" kwa kutumia "commit -s". Ili kuwa na ufanisi zaidi ni bora ikiwa nyaraka za mradi zinaeleza maana ya "signed-off" kwa mradi huo. CLA ni makubaliano ya kisheria yanayofafanua masharti ambayo kazi za kiakili zimetolewa leseni kwa shirika au mradi. Makubaliano ya mgawo wa mchangiaji (CAA) ni makubaliano ya kisheria yanayohamisha haki katika kazi ya kiakili kwa chama kingine; miradi haihitajiki kuwa na CAA, kwa kuwa kuwa na CAA huongeza hatari kwamba wachangiaji watarajiwa hawatachangia, hasa ikiwa mpokeaji ni shirika la faida. Apache Software Foundation CLAs (leseni ya mchangiaji wa mtu binafsi na CLA ya kampuni) ni mifano ya CLA, kwa miradi ambayo inaamua kwamba hatari za aina hizi za CLA kwa mradi ni chini ya manufaa yao.

    CONTRIBUTING.md's Sign-off section links the Developer Certificate of Origin, says what the Signed-off-by trailer means, and requires it (git commit -s) on every commit of a merge request from outside the project; the maintainers' own commits are exempt, and there is no CLA. The sign-off job in .gitlab-ci.yml checks those merge requests; none has arrived yet, so it has not run. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#sign-off

    Mradi LAZIMA ufafanue kwa uwazi na kuandika muundo wake wa utawala wa mradi (njia ya kufanya maamuzi, ikiwa ni pamoja na majukumu muhimu). (URL inahitajika) [governance]
    Kunahitaji kuwa na njia fulani iliyowekwa vyema ya kuandikwa ya kufanya maamuzi na kutatua migogoro. Katika miradi midogo, hii inaweza kuwa rahisi kama "mmiliki wa mradi na kiongozi hufanya maamuzi yote ya mwisho". Kuna miundo mbalimbali ya utawala, ikiwa ni pamoja na dictator wa wema na meritocracy rasmi; kwa maelezo zaidi, angalia Miundo ya utawala. Mbinu zote mbili za kati (k.m., mtunzaji mmoja) na zisizo za kati (k.m., watunzaji wa kikundi) zimetumika kwa mafanikio katika miradi. Habari za utawala hazihitajiki kuandika uwezekano wa kuunda uma wa mradi, kwa kuwa hiyo ni iwezekanavyo kila wakati kwa miradi ya FLOSS.

    GOVERNANCE.md documents the model: two maintainers (Christopher Holloway and Zain Ul Abidin), stewarded by Progressive Robot Ltd, who decide in the open on the issue tracker. When they disagree, both positions are written on the issue and Christopher Holloway decides, giving his reason. The document also covers roles, how to become a maintainer, critical assets and continuity. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi LAZIMA upitishe kanuni ya mwenendo na kuiweka mahali pa kawaida. (URL inahitajika) [code_of_conduct]
    Miradi inaweza kuweza kuboresha uadilifu wa jamii yao na kuweka matarajio kuhusu tabia inayokubalika kwa kupitisha kanuni ya mwenendo. Hii inaweza kusaidia kuepuka matatizo kabla hayajatokea na kufanya mradi kuwa mahali pa kukaribishwa zaidi ili kuhimiza michango. Hii inapaswa kuzingatia tu tabia ndani ya jamii/mahali pa kazi pa mradi. Mifano ya kanuni za mwenendo ni kanuni ya mwenendo ya kernel ya Linux, Kanuni ya Mwenendo ya Agano la Mchangiaji, Kanuni ya Mwenendo ya Debian, Kanuni ya Mwenendo ya Ubuntu, Kanuni ya Mwenendo ya Fedora, Kanuni ya Mwenendo ya GNOME, Kanuni ya Mwenendo ya Jamii ya KDE, Kanuni ya Mwenendo ya Jamii ya Python, Mwongozo wa Mwenendo wa Jamii ya Ruby, na Kanuni ya Mwenendo ya Rust.

    The project adopts the Contributor Covenant 2.1, in the standard location CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md at the repository root and linked from CONTRIBUTING.md. It applies to the GitLab project and says how to report privately (a confidential issue, or the Service Desk address). https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi LAZIMA ufafanue kwa uwazi na kuandika hadharani majukumu muhimu katika mradi na wajibu wao, ikiwa ni pamoja na kazi zozote ambazo majukumu hayo lazima yafanywe. Lazima iwe wazi ni nani ana jukumu lipi, ingawa hii haiwezi kuandikwa kwa njia ile ile. (URL inahitajika) [roles_responsibilities]
    Nyaraka kwa utawala na majukumu na wajibu zinaweza kuwa mahali pamoja.

    GOVERNANCE.md defines the roles and their duties: Maintainer (accepting changes, releasing per RELEASE.md, security response per SECURITY.md, direction, infrastructure), Contributor and Reporter. A table says who holds which duty: Christopher Holloway (Progressiverobot on GitLab) holds all of them, and Zain Ul Abidin shares accepting changes and direction. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi LAZIMA uweze kuendelea kwa usumbufu mdogo ikiwa mtu yeyote anakufa, anakuwa katika hali ya kudhoofika, au vinginevyo hawezi au hataki kuendelea kusaidia mradi. Hasa, mradi LAZIMA uweze kuunda na kufunga masuala, kukubali mabadiliko yaliyopendekezwa, na kutoa matoleo ya programu, ndani ya wiki moja ya uthibitishaji wa upotevu wa msaada kutoka kwa mtu yeyote mmoja. Hii INAWEZA kufanywa kwa kuhakikisha mtu mwingine ana funguo zozote zinazohitajika, nywila, na haki za kisheria ili kuendelea mradi. Watu binafsi wanaoendesha mradi wa FLOSS WANAWEZA kufanya hii kwa kuweka funguo katika sanduku la kufungia na wosia unaowezesha haki zozote zinazohitajika za kisheria (k.m., kwa majina ya DNS). (URL inahitajika) [access_continuity]

    GOVERNANCE.md (Critical assets, Continuity) lists the credentials whose loss would stop the project - project ownership, the release and code-signing path, and the build and test environment recipes - and says the owner keeps them in a managed arrangement that a trusted person can reach on confirmed unavailability, with the legal authority to use them, so issues, changes and releases can continue within days. The second maintainer is a Developer member of the GitLab project and can triage and close issues; RELEASE.md documents every release step. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md#continuity


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi INAPASWA kuwa na "bus factor" ya 2 au zaidi. (URL inahitajika) [bus_factor]
    "Bus factor" (pia inajulikana kama "truck factor") ni idadi ya chini ya washiriki wa mradi ambao wanapaswa kutoweka ghafla kutoka kwenye mradi ("kupigwa na basi") kabla ya mradi kusimama kwa sababu ya ukosefu wa wafanyakazi wenye elimu au wenye uwezo. Zana ya truck-factor inaweza kukadiria hii kwa miradi kwenye GitHub. Kwa maelezo zaidi, angalia Kutathmini Bus Factor ya Hifadhi za Git na Cosentino et al.

    GOVERNANCE.md names two maintainers but says the record of knowing the codebase is still one person's. In the past year all but one human commit on master are Christopher Holloway's; the second maintainer, Zain Ul Abidin (a Developer on GitLab), has one. Only the owner's account can push master or create release tags. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md#continuity


  • Nyaraka


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi LAZIMA uwe na ramani ya barabara iliyoandikwa inayoeleza kile mradi unakusudia kufanya na kutofanya kwa angalau mwaka unaofuata. (URL inahitajika) [documentation_roadmap]
    Mradi huenda usitimiza ramani ya barabara, na hiyo ni sawa; kusudi la ramani ya barabara ni kusaidia watumiaji na wachangiaji watarajiwa kuelewa mwelekeo unaokusudiwa wa mradi. Haihitaji kuwa na maelezo mengi.

    Roadmap.md records what the project intends to do and deliberately will not do, with a status and reason for each item, and Roadmap2.md plans the current programme of work. Roadmap items are also tracked as issues with the roadmap label. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/Roadmap.md


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi LAZIMA ujumuishe nyaraka za muundo (pia inajulikana kama muundo wa kiwango cha juu) wa programu inayozalishwa na mradi. Ikiwa mradi hauzalishi programu, chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). (URL inahitajika) [documentation_architecture]
    Muundo wa programu unaeleza miundo ya msingi ya programu, yaani, vipengele vikuu vya programu, uhusiano kati yao, na mali muhimu za vipengele na uhusiano hivi.

    ARCHITECTURE.md documents the high-level design: the repository's shape, the server's components (COM API as the management seam, Common, SMTP, IMAP/POP3, SQL persistence with parameterised queries), the tools, the tests, and the constraints between them. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/ARCHITECTURE.md


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi LAZIMA uandike kile mtumiaji anaweza na asiweze kutarajia kwa suala la usalama kutoka kwa programu inayozalishwa na mradi ("mahitaji yake ya usalama"). (URL inahitajika) [documentation_security]
    Haya ni mahitaji ya usalama ambayo programu inakusudiwa kukidhi.

    SECURITY.md states what users can and cannot expect: the supported versions, the classes of issue treated as vulnerabilities, an explicit out-of-scope list (administrator-level access, deliberately unencrypted listeners, unsubstantiated scanner output), and how to verify a release. ASSURANCE-CASE.md argues why the security requirements are met. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/SECURITY.md


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi LAZIMA utoe mwongozo wa "kuanza haraka" kwa watumiaji wapya kuwasaidia kufanya kitu haraka na programu. (URL inahitajika) [documentation_quick_start]
    Wazo ni kuonyesha watumiaji jinsi ya kuanza na kufanya programu ifanye chochote. Hii ni muhimu sana kwa watumiaji watarajiwa kuanza.

    The README's Installing section and the wiki's Installing-hMailServer and Your-First-Domain-and-Mailbox pages take a new user from the single installer (or the .deb/.rpm) to a working domain and mailbox. The Control Deck's first-hour checklist can also create a sample domain to try things on. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/wikis/Your-First-Domain-and-Mailbox


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi LAZIMA ufanye jitihada ya kuweka nyaraka kulingana na toleo la sasa la matokeo ya mradi (ikiwa ni pamoja na programu inayozalishwa na mradi). Kasoro yoyote inayojulikana ya nyaraka inayofanya isilingane LAZIMA irekebishwe. Ikiwa nyaraka kwa ujumla ni za sasa, lakini kwa makosa inajumuisha baadhi ya maelezo ya zamani ambayo sio ya kweli tena, ichukue tu kama kasoro, kisha ifuatilie na urekebishe kama kawaida. [documentation_current]
    Nyaraka ZINAWEZA kujumuisha habari kuhusu tofauti au mabadiliko kati ya matoleo ya programu na/au kuunganisha kwa matoleo ya zamani ya nyaraka. Kusudi la kigezo hiki ni kwamba jitihada inafanywa ili kuweka nyaraka kulingana, siyo kwamba nyaraka lazima ziwe kamili.

    The documentation is revised with the code, and known defects in it are filed as GitLab issues with the documentation label (for example #15, documents that still name 6.3.3 as the latest release). Before 6.3.4, its CHANGELOG section was checked against the code and thirteen statements were corrected: https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/commit/40c7d3e0c


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Ukurasa wa mbele wa hifadhi ya mradi na/au tovuti LAZIMA utambulishe na kuunganisha kiungo kwa mafanikio yoyote, ikiwa ni pamoja na nishani hii ya mazoea bora, ndani ya masaa 48 ya kutambua hadharani kwamba ufanikio umepatikana. (URL inahitajika) [documentation_achievements]
    Ufanikio ni seti yoyote ya vigezo vya nje ambavyo mradi umefanya kazi mahususi kukidhi, ikiwa ni pamoja na nishani fulani. Habari hii haihitaji kuwa kwenye ukurasa wa mbele wa tovuti ya mradi. Mradi unaotumia GitHub unaweza kuweka mafanikio kwenye ukurasa wa mbele wa hifadhi kwa kuyaongeza kwenye faili ya README.

    The README opens with the OpenSSF Best Practices badge, hyperlinked to the project's entry on bestpractices.dev. It still points at the old entry (14187), so it must be changed to this entry's number when this entry reaches passing. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/README.md


  • Ufikiaji na kimataifa


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi (tovuti zote za mradi na matokeo ya mradi) INAPASWA kufuata mazoea bora ya ufikiaji ili watu wenye ulemavu bado waweze kushiriki katika mradi na kutumia matokeo ya mradi ambapo ni busara kufanya hivyo. [accessibility_best_practices]
    Kwa programu za wavuti, angalia Miongozo ya Ufikiaji wa Maudhui ya Wavuti (WCAG 2.0) na hati yake inayosaidia Kuelewa WCAG 2.0; angalia pia habari za ufikiaji za W3C. Kwa programu za GUI, zingatia kutumia miongozo ya ufikiaji ya mazingira maalum (kama vile Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Android, iOS, Mac, na Windows). Baadhi ya programu za TUI (k.m., programu za `ncurses`) zinaweza kufanya mambo fulani ili kuzifanya kufikika zaidi (kama mpangilio wa `force-arrow-cursor` wa `alpine`). Programu nyingi za mstari wa amri zinafikika vizuri kama zilivyo. Kigezo hiki mara nyingi ni N/A, k.m., kwa maktaba za programu. Hapa kuna baadhi ya mifano ya hatua za kuchukua au masuala ya kuzingatia:
    • Toa mbadala za maandishi kwa maudhui yoyote yasiyo ya maandishi ili yaweze kubadilishwa kuwa aina nyingine watu wanahitaji, kama vile chapa kubwa, braille, hotuba, alama au lugha rahisi zaidi ( mwongozo wa WCAG 2.0 1.1)
    • Rangi haitumiwi kama njia pekee ya kuona ya kuwasilisha habari, kuashiria kitendo, kuchochea jibu, au kutofautisha kipengele cha kuona. ( mwongozo wa WCAG 2.0 1.4.1)
    • Uwasilishaji wa kuona wa maandishi na picha za maandishi una uwiano wa tofauti wa angalau 4.5:1, isipokuwa kwa maandishi makubwa, maandishi ya bahati mbaya, na nembo ( mwongozo wa WCAG 2.0 1.4.3)
    • Fanya kazi zote zipatikane kutoka kwenye kibodi (mwongozo wa WCAG 2.1)
    • Mradi wa GUI au wa wavuti INAPASWA kupima na angalau kipaza sauti kimoja cha skrini kwenye jukwaa la lengo (k.m., NVDA, Jaws, au WindowEyes kwenye Windows; VoiceOver kwenye Mac & iOS; Orca kwenye Linux/BSD; TalkBack kwenye Android). Programu za TUI ZINAWEZA kufanya kazi kupunguza uchanganyiko wa ziada ili kuzuia usomaji wa ziada na vipaza sauti vya skrini.

    The Control Panel gives every control an accessible name and never carries a status by colour alone (hmailserver/docs/ControlPanelDesign.md); AccessibleNamesTests in ControlPanel.Tests checks the naming. The webmail is built to be used with a screen reader (landmarks, a skip link, focus that follows navigation; README). The project's documents are Markdown rendered by GitLab. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/tree/master/hmailserver/source/Tools/ControlPanel.Tests


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Programu iliyozalishwa na mradi INAPASWA kuwa kimataifa ili kuwezesha upatanifu wa lugha wa rahisi kwa utamaduni, eneo, au lugha ya hadhira lengo. Ikiwa kimataifa (i18n) haihusiki (k.m., programu haizalishi maandishi yanayokusudiwa kwa watumiaji wa mwisho na haipangi maandishi yanayosomeka na binadamu), chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [internationalization]
    Upatanifu wa lugha "unarejelea upatanifu wa bidhaa, programu au maudhui ya hati ili kukidhi lugha, utamaduni na mahitaji mengine ya soko mahususi la lengo (eneo)." Kimataifa ni "muundo na maendeleo ya bidhaa, programu au maudhui ya hati ambayo huwezesha upatanifu wa lugha wa rahisi kwa hadhira lengo zinazotofautiana katika utamaduni, eneo, au lugha." (Ona "Upatanifu wa Lugha dhidi ya Kimataifa" ya W3C.) Programu inakidhi kigezo hiki kwa kuwa kimataifa tu. Hakuna upatanifu wa lugha kwa lugha nyingine mahususi unaohitajika, kwa kuwa mara tu programu imekuwa kimataifa inawezekana kwa wengine kufanya kazi kwenye upatanifu wa lugha.

    User-facing text is served through language layers. The server has Languages.cpp and the COM Languages API, with per-language files that the installer's section_languages.iss offers. The Control Panel has resource files for 17 languages besides English (Resources/Strings.<lang>.resx). The self-service portal has 23 language files (Server/Common/Util/PortalLanguages). https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/source/Server/Common/Util/Languages.cpp

    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Ikiwa tovuti za mradi (tovuti, hifadhi, na URL za kupakua) zinahifadhi nywila kwa ajili ya uthibitishaji wa watumiaji wa nje, nywila LAZIMA zihifadhiwe kama mificho iliyorudiwa na chumvi kwa-mtumiaji kwa kutumia kanuni ya upanuaji (iliyorudiarudia) wa funguo (k.m., Argon2id, Bcrypt, Scrypt, au PBKDF2). Ikiwa tovuti za mradi hazihifadhi nywila kwa kusudi hili, chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [sites_password_security]
    Kumbuka kwamba matumizi ya GitHub yanakidhi kigezo hiki. Kigezo hiki kinatumika tu kwa nywila zinazotumika kwa ajili ya uthibitishaji wa watumiaji wa nje kwenye tovuti za mradi (pia inaitwa uthibitishaji wa ndani). Ikiwa tovuti za mradi lazima ziingie kwenye tovuti zingine (pia inaitwa uthibitishaji wa nje), zinaweza kuhitaji kuhifadhi ishara za uidhinishaji kwa kusudi hilo kwa njia tofauti (kwa kuwa kuhifadhi mficho hakuna maana). Hii inatumia kigezo cha crypto_password_storage kwa tovuti za mradi, sawa na sites_https.

    The repository, issue tracker and downloads are on GitLab, which stores users' passwords as salted bcrypt hashes. The project forum, https://www.hmailserver.co.uk/, runs NodeBB and has local accounts; NodeBB stores each password as a bcrypt hash with a per-user salt and a work factor.


 Udhibiti wa Mabadiliko 1/1 ●

  • Matoleo ya awali


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi LAZIMA utunze matoleo ya zamani yaliyotumika mara nyingi ya bidhaa au kutoa njia ya usasishaji kwa matoleo mapya. Ikiwa njia ya usasishaji ni ngumu, mradi LAZIMA uandike jinsi ya kufanya usasishaji (k.m., violesura vilivyobadilika na hatua zilizoanishwa kwa undani ili kusaidia usasishaji). [maintenance_or_update]

    An upgrade path is provided from every earlier hMailServer version. Installing over an existing deployment keeps the configuration and the mail, and the database upgrade chain is continuous: hmailserver/source/DBScripts, applied by the installer and by DBUpdater. SECURITY.md states that the 6.3 line is supported and that the answer for older versions is this in-place upgrade. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/SECURITY.md

    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi LAZIMA utoe sifa kwa waripoti wa ripoti zote za udhaifu zilizotatuliwa katika miezi 12 iliyopita, isipokuwa kwa waripoti wanaoomba kutojulikana. Ikiwa hakuna udhaifu uliotatuliwa katika miezi 12 iliyopita, chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). (URL inahitajika) [vulnerability_report_credit]

    The vulnerabilities resolved in the last 12 months (among them the REST settings routes in 6.3.3, the COM access checks in 6.2.10 and the JScript escaping flaw in 6.3.4) were all found by the project's own review or analysis, and none came from an outside report, so no reporter is uncredited; SECURITY.md commits to crediting reporters in the release notes unless they ask not to be named. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

    Hii ina uhusiano mkubwa na vulnerability_report_process, ambayo inahitaji kuwa kuna njia iliyoandikwa ya kuripoti udhaifu. Pia inahusiana na vulnerability_report_response, ambayo inahitaji majibu kwa ripoti za udhaifu ndani ya kipindi fulani cha muda.

    SECURITY.md documents the response: private report by confidential issue or Service Desk email, acknowledgement within 5 working days, assessment within 10, a fix with a regression test within 90 days, coordinated disclosure at 90 days, credit in the release notes, and a CVE ID requested through GitLab, which is a CNA. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/SECURITY.md

    Katika hali nyingi hii inafanywa kwa kurejelea baadhi ya miongozo ya mtindo iliyopo, huenda ikiorodhesha tofauti. Miongozo hii ya mtindo inaweza kujumuisha njia za kuboresha usomaji na njia za kupunguza uwezekano wa kasoro (ikiwa ni pamoja na udhaifu). Lugha nyingi za programu zina miongozo moja au zaidi ya mtindo inayotumika sana. Mifano ya miongozo ya mtindo ni pamoja na miongozo ya mtindo ya Google na Viwango vya Kuandika Msimbo wa SEI CERT.

    CONTRIBUTING.md (Code style and licence headers) sets the rules contributions must follow. .editorconfig requires spaces with three to an indent in C++ and C#, a final newline and no trailing whitespace. C++ builds at warning level 3 with /WX, and dotnet format formats C#.

    Mradi LAZIMA utekeleze kiotomatiki mtindo wake wa kuandika msimbo uliochaguliwa ikiwa kuna angalau zana moja ya FLOSS inayoweza kufanya hivyo katika lugha zilizochaguliwa. [coding_standards_enforced]
    Hii INAWEZA kutekelezwa kwa kutumia zana za uchambuzi mkako na/au kwa kulazimisha msimbo kupitia vifaa vya kurekebisha msimbo. Katika hali nyingi usanidi wa zana umejumuishwa katika hifadhi ya mradi (kwa kuwa miradi tofauti inaweza kuchagua usanidi tofauti). Miradi INAWEZA kuruhusu vighairi vya mtindo (na kwa kawaida itaruhusu); ambapo vighairi vinatokea, LAZIMA viwe nadra na viandikwe katika msimbo katika maeneo yao, ili vighairi hivi viweze kukaguliwa na ili zana ziweze kuzishughulikia kiotomatiki baadaye. Mifano ya zana kama hizo ni pamoja na ESLint (JavaScript), Rubocop (Ruby), na devtools check (R).

    The style is declared in .editorconfig, and the editorconfig job of .gitlab-ci.yml runs editorconfig-checker (FLOSS) over every text file, with a negative control. No GitLab pipeline has run that job yet. Until 18 September 2026, GitHub's style workflow ran the same check on every push. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml


  • Mfumo wa ujenzi unaofanya kazi


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mifumo ya kujenga kwa binari za asili LAZIMA iheshimu vigezo (vya mazingira) vya mkusanyaji na vya kiunganishi vilivyopitishwa kwao (k.m., CC, CFLAGS, CXX, CXXFLAGS, na LDFLAGS) na kuvipitisha kwenye viito vya mkusanyaji na vya kiunganishi. Mfumo wa kujenga UNAWEZA kuvipanua na bendera za ziada; LAZIMA USIBADILISHE thamani zilizotolewa na zake mwenyewe. Ikiwa hakuna binari za asili zinazozalishwa, chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [build_standard_variables]
    Inapaswa kuwa rahisi kuwezesha vipengele maalum vya kujenga kama Address Sanitizer (ASAN), au kutii mazoea bora ya ugumu wa usambazaji (k.m., kwa kuwezesha kwa urahisi bendera za mkusanyaji kufanya hivyo).

    The Linux build is CMake, which takes CC, CXX, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS from the environment and passes them to the compiler and linker. CMakeLists.txt only appends its own options (add_compile_options) and never replaces CMAKE_C_FLAGS or CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS; build/ci/linux-build.sh chooses the compiler through CC and CXX. The Windows MSBuild build has no such variables and takes Configuration, Platform and PlatformToolset instead. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/source/Server/CMakeLists.txt


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mfumo wa kujenga na usakinishaji UNAPASWA kuhifadhi taarifa za utatuzi ikiwa zimeombwa katika bendera husika (k.m., "install -s" haitumiwa). Ikiwa hakuna mfumo wa kujenga au usakinishaji (k.m., maktaba za kawaida za JavaScript), chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [build_preserve_debug]
    K.m., kuweka CFLAGS (C) au CXXFLAGS (C++) inapaswa kuunda taarifa husika za utatuzi ikiwa lugha hizo zinatumika, na hazipaswi kuondolewa wakati wa usakinishaji. Taarifa za utatuzi zinahitajika kwa msaada na uchambuzi, na pia ni muhimu kwa kupima uwepo wa vipengele vya ugumu katika binari zilizokusanywa.

    The Windows projects set DebugInformationFormat ProgramDatabase and GenerateDebugInformation true, so every Release build writes a .pdb beside the binary. The CMake build honours CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE (Debug, RelWithDebInfo) and -g in CXXFLAGS, and cmake --install does not strip. The .deb and .rpm that CPack makes are stripped (CPACK_STRIP_FILES). https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/source/Server/hMailServer/hMailServer.vcxproj

    Mfumo wa kujenga kwa programu iliyozalishwa na mradi LAZIMA USIJENGA kwa njia ya kujirudia saraka ndogo ikiwa kuna utegemezi wa kukatana katika saraka ndogo. Ikiwa hakuna mfumo wa kujenga au usakinishaji (k.m., maktaba za kawaida za JavaScript), chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [build_non_recursive]
    Taarifa ya utegemezi wa ndani ya mfumo wa kujenga wa mradi inahitaji kuwa sahihi, vinginevyo, mabadiliko ya mradi huenda yasijenge vizuri. Mijengo isiyo sahihi inaweza kusababisha kasoro (ikiwa ni pamoja na udhaifu). Kosa la kawaida katika mifumo mikubwa ya kujenga ni kutumia "ujenzi wa kujirudia" au "make ya kujirudia", yaani, mlingano wa saraka ndogo zinazojumuisha faili za chanzo, ambapo kila saraka ndogo inajengwa kwa uhuru. Isipokuwa kila saraka ndogo ni huru kabisa, hii ni kosa, kwa sababu taarifa ya utegemezi si sahihi.

    No build is recursive. On Windows, one MSBuild solution (hMailServer.sln) resolves build order from the project references. On Linux, one CMakeLists.txt with no add_subdirectory builds the core library, the server and its test programs from a single dependency graph. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/source/Server/CMakeLists.txt

    Mradi LAZIMA uweze kurudia mchakato wa kuzalisha taarifa kutoka faili za chanzo na kupata matokeo sawa ya biti-kwa-biti. Ikiwa hakuna ujenzi unaofanyika (k.m., lugha za uandishi ambapo msimbo wa chanzo unatumika moja kwa moja badala ya kukusanywa), chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [build_repeatable]
    Watumiaji wa GCC na clang wanaweza kupata chaguo la -frandom-seed kuwa na manufaa; katika hali fulani, hii inaweza kutatuliwa kwa kulazimisha aina fulani ya mpangilio. Mapendekezo zaidi yanaweza kupatikana kwenye tovuti ya ujenzi unaorudiwa.

    The Windows server compiles and links with /Brepro, /d1trimfile and /pdbaltpath, with OPENSSL_NO_FILENAMES defined. Two clean Release builds of the same tree on one machine gave a byte-identical hMailServer.exe (first on 22 August 2026, recorded in Roadmap.md), and RELEASE.md step 8 requires that check for every release. The Linux build uses -ffile-prefix-map and SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/RELEASE.md


  • Mfumo wa usakinishaji


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi LAZIMA utoe njia ya kusakinisha na kuondoa kwa urahisi programu iliyozalishwa na mradi kwa kutumia mkataba unaotumika sana. [installation_common]
    Mifano ni pamoja na kutumia meneja wa kifurushi (kwa mfumo au kiwango cha lugha), "make install/uninstall" (inasaidia DESTDIR), chombo katika muundo wa kawaida, au picha ya mashine pepe katika muundo wa kawaida. Mchakato wa usakinishaji na uondoaji (k.m., kifurushi chake) UNAWEZA kutekelezwa na mtu wa tatu mradi tu ni FLOSS.

    On Windows, one Inno Setup installer (hMailServer-x.y.z-x64.exe) installs, upgrades in place and uninstalls from Apps and Features, and supports unattended install. On Linux, a .deb and an .rpm install and remove with the system package manager. The installer smoke test (install, upgrade, uninstall) is run by hand on a throwaway Windows Server 2025 VM, first on 25 September 2026, not in CI. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/README.md#installing


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mfumo wa usakinishaji kwa watumiaji wa mwisho LAZIMA uheshimu mkataba wa kawaida kwa kuchagua eneo ambapo vitu vilivyojengwa vinaandikwa kwa wakati wa usakinishaji. Kwa mfano, ikiwa inasakinisha faili kwenye mfumo wa POSIX lazima iheshimu kigezo cha mazingira cha DESTDIR. Ikiwa hakuna mfumo wa usakinishaji au hakuna mkataba wa kawaida, chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [installation_standard_variables]

    The Windows installer defaults to Program Files and honours Inno Setup's standard /DIR= switch (documented in the README's Unattended install table). The Linux install is CMake's install() with GNUInstallDirs, so it honours DESTDIR, and the .deb and .rpm are built through it. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/README.md#unattended-install

Hii LAZIMA ifanywe kwa kutumia mkataba unaotumika sana. [installation_development_quick]
    Hii INAWEZA kutekelezwa kwa kutumia chombo kilichozalishwa na/au hati za usakinishaji. Utegemezi wa nje kwa kawaida utasakinishwa kwa kuita mfumo na/au meneja wa kifurushi cha lugha, kwa external_dependencies.

    CONTRIBUTING.md lists every prerequisite with its pinned version and one command per component: scripts that download and build the external libraries with checked hashes, build.ps1, build-tools.ps1, build-tests.ps1, and the CMake/Ninja commands with the Debian/Ubuntu package list for Linux. The CI image build/ci/linux.Dockerfile is a ready-made Linux build and test environment. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#prerequisites

    Mradi LAZIMA uorodheshe utegemezi wa nje kwa njia inayoweza kuchakatwa na kompyuta. (URL inahitajika) [external_dependencies]
    Kwa kawaida hii inafanywa kwa kutumia mkataba wa meneja wa kifurushi na/au mfumo wa ujenzi. Kumbuka kwamba hii inasaidia kutekeleza installation_development_quick.

    Dependencies are listed in machine-readable form: the .NET projects' committed NuGet lock files (packages.lock.json), the native libraries' pinned versions in the project files, and every vendored or fetched binary with its version, origin and SHA-256 in hmailserver/docs/third-party-binaries.json. SPDX and CycloneDX SBOMs were attached to the releases up to 6.3.3. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/docs/third-party-binaries.json


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Miradi LAZIMA ifuatilie au kwa muda mrefu iangalie utegemezi wao wa nje (ikiwa ni pamoja na nakala za urahisi) kugundua udhaifu unaojulikana, na kurekebisha udhaifu unaoweza kutumiwa vibaya au kuthibitisha kuwa hauwezi kutumiwa vibaya. [dependency_monitoring]
    Hii inaweza kufanywa kwa kutumia zana ya kichambua chanzo / zana ya kuangalia utegemezi / zana ya uchambuzi wa muundo wa programu kama OWASP's Dependency-Check, Sonatype's Nexus Auditor, Synopsys' Black Duck Software Composition Analysis, na Bundler-audit (kwa Ruby). Baadhi ya waendesha kifurushi wanajumuisha taratibu za kufanya hii. Ni kubaliwa ikiwa udhaifu wa vipengele hauwezi kutumiwa vibaya, lakini uchambuzi huu ni mgumu na wakati mwingine ni rahisi kusasisha au kurekebisha sehemu.

    The dependency-scan job in .gitlab-ci.yml (Trivy over the lock files and the CI image, OSV over the vendored libraries) was run by hand on the project's runner on 25 September 2026. What it found (zlib 1.3.1's CVE-2026-27171, and a 7-Zip 19.00 that OSV cannot match) was fixed the same day by moving to zlib 1.3.2 and 7-Zip 26.03; a finding that does not affect the project is dismissed with its reason in the VEX document. The job has not yet run in a GitLab pipeline; Renovate (renovate.json) waits for the owner's token and schedule, and Dependabot ran on GitHub until 18 September 2026. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/docs/ContinuousIntegration.md#security-scanning

    Mradi LAZIMA au:
    1. fanya iwe rahisi kutambua na kusasisha vipengele vinavyotumiwa tena vilivyotunzwa nje; au
    2. tumia vipengele vya kawaida vinavyotolewa na mfumo au lugha ya programu.
    Kisha, ikiwa udhaifu unapatikana katika kipengele kilichotumiwa tena, itakuwa rahisi kusasisha kipengele hicho. [updateable_reused_components]
    Njia ya kawaida ya kutimiza kigezo hiki ni kutumia mifumo ya usimamizi wa kifurushi ya mfumo na lugha ya programu. Programu nyingi za FLOSS zinasambazwa na "maktaba za urahisi" ambazo ni nakala za ndani za maktaba za kawaida (labda zilizoachana). Kwa yenyewe, hiyo ni sawa. Hata hivyo, ikiwa programu *lazima* itumie nakala hizi za ndani (zilizoachanishwa), basi kusasisha maktaba za "kawaida" kama sasisho la usalama litaacha nakala hizi za ziada bado zenye udhaifu. Hii ni suala hasa kwa mifumo ya wingu; ikiwa mtoa huduma ya wingu anasasisha maktaba zao za "kawaida" lakini programu haitazitumia, basi masasisho hayasaidii kweli. Angalia, k.m., "Chromium: Kwa nini bado haiko katika Fedora kama kifurushi sahihi" na Tom Callaway.

    Reused components are named and pinned where they can be updated: the .NET packages in committed NuGet lock files restored with --locked-mode, OpenSSL, Boost and libpq by version and source hash in the libraries/ build scripts, and every third-party binary by SHA-256 in hmailserver/docs/third-party-binaries.json, inventoried in ThirdPartyBinaries.md. Renovate (renovate.json) is configured to propose updates but waits for the owner's token and schedule. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/docs/ThirdPartyBinaries.md

    Mahitaji haya yanaweza kuonekana kama sehemu ndogo ya test_continuous_integration, lakini yanazingatia majaribio tu, bila kuhitaji uunganisho wa kuendelea.

    Every code change reaches master only after the maintainer's full regression gate has passed on the tree that lands: the whole Windows regression suite (NUnit), split across two machines, and the whole Linux suite, each reporting the tests that passed and failed (CONTRIBUTING.md, Merge requests); documentation-only commits may follow a gated tree. GitHub Actions ran the automated suites on every push until 18 September 2026; the GitLab CI that replaces them is defined in .gitlab-ci.yml but has not yet run a full pipeline. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/docs/ContinuousIntegration.md

    A bug is fixed with a regression test that fails against the build before the fix, as SECURITY.md and SUPPORT.md state. Examples: the 6.3.4 JScript escaping fix is pinned in RegressionTests/API/Events.cs, and the CVE-2023-51764 smuggling rule in SMTP/BareLineFeedEndOfData.cs. The automated NUnit suite has 495 C# files.

    Zana nyingi za FLOSS zinapatikana kupima usakinishaji wa majaribio, ikiwa ni pamoja na gcov/lcov, Blanket.js, Istanbul, JCov, na covr (R). Kumbuka kwamba kutimiza kigezo hiki sio uhakika kwamba seti ya majaribio ni ya kina, badala yake, kushindwa kutimiza kigezo hiki ni kiashiria kizito cha seti ya majaribio mbaya.

    The native server's coverage was measured once, on 15 September 2026: 73.48% of its lines (67,790 of 92,260 under hmailserver/source/Server) over the whole Windows regression suite, with OpenCppCoverage 0.9.9.

    Baadhi ya maonyo hayawezi kuwashwa kwa ufanisi kwenye miradi fulani. Kinachohitajika ni ushahidi kwamba mradi unajitahidi kuwasha bendera za onyo ambapo inaweza, ili makosa yagundulika mapema.

    The Windows build holds the server's own code to MSVC /W3 with /WX (vendored zlib alone is compiled at /W1), and the .NET projects are built with -warnaserror; moving a codebase of this age to /W4 would need mass suppression, and the Linux build adds no warning flags of its own. Beyond compiler warnings, cppcheck and clang-tidy (bugprone, cert, clang-analyzer and concurrency checks) were run over the sources on 25 September 2026 and their findings committed as a baseline, against which the CI job reports any new finding (allow_failure until the baseline is triaged). https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#code-style-and-licence-headers


 Usalama 13/13 ●

    Mradi LAZIMA utekeleze kanuni za muundo salama (kutoka "know_secure_design"), pale inapohusika. Ikiwa mradi hauzalishi programu, chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [implement_secure_design]
    Kwa mfano, matokeo ya mradi yanapaswa kuwa na mipangilio salama ya kuzuia makosa (maamuzi ya ufikiaji yanapaswa kukataa kwa chaguo-msingi, na usakinishaji wa mradi unapaswa kuwa salama kwa chaguo-msingi). Pia yanapaswa kuwa na kikuu cha kati kikamilifu (kila ufikiaji ambao unaweza kuwekwa kikomo lazima ufanyiwe ukaguzi wa mamlaka na usiweze kuvukwa). Kumbuka kwamba katika hali fulani kanuni zitagombana, na katika hali hiyo chaguo lazima lifanywe (k.m., taratibu nyingi zinaweza kufanya mambo kuwa magumu zaidi, kukiuka "uchumi wa utaratibu" / iweke rahisi).

    The server fails safe: a new installation is given a certificate, STARTTLS on every listener and TLS required for authentication from other hosts before it first listens. TLS peers are verified by default, and unsafe password-hash schemes are refused. Mediation is complete: all management goes through one API seam (COM, with REST on top), and SQL is parameterised by rule. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/docs/SecureDefaults.md


  • Tumia mazoea mazuri ya msingi ya usimbuaji

    Kumbuka kwamba programu fulani haihitaji kutumia taratibu za usimbuaji. Ikiwa mradi wako unazalisha programu ambayo (1) inajumuisha, inaamilisha, au inafanya usimbuaji kuwa hai, na (2) inaweza kutolewa kutoka Marekani (US) kwenda nje ya Marekani au kwa raia asiye wa Marekani, inaweza kuwa ni lazima kisheria kuchukua hatua chache za ziada.

    Wasiwasi kuhusu hali ya CBC katika SSH unajadiliwa katika CERT: SSH CBC vulnerability.

    The defaults do not depend on seriously weak algorithms. The default cipher list excludes DES, 3DES, MD5, export and null ciphers and lists ECDHE with AES-GCM first; TLS 1.3 is AEAD only; and the AEAD-ONLY preset removes the remaining CBC and SHA-1 HMAC suites. DKIM signs with SHA-256 by default and treats rsa-sha1 signatures as failing (RFC 8301) unless DkimAcceptSha1 is set. Passwords are hashed with PBKDF2 by default. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/source/Server/Common/AntiSpam/DKIM/DKIM.cpp

    Algorithms are settings, not constants. Password hashing is PBKDF2 (the default), Argon2id or scrypt through PreferredHashAlgorithm, with a minimum accepted scheme. The TLS 1.2 cipher list (SslCipherList, with an AEAD-ONLY preset), the TLS 1.3 suites (TlsCipherSuites13) and the key-exchange groups (TlsKeyExchangeGroups) are all configurable, and DKIM signs with RSA-SHA256 or Ed25519. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/source/Server/Common/Application/IniFileSettings.cpp

Ikiwa mradi haufanyi usindikaji wa vitambulisho vya uthibitishaji na funguo za kibinafsi za kriptologia, chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [crypto_credential_agility]

    TLS certificates and private keys, and DKIM private keys, are separate PEM files referenced by path from the configuration, and can be replaced without recompiling. Account passwords are stored only as hashes; credentials the server uses to sign in elsewhere (route relays, external accounts) are settings in the database, protected at rest, and changed without recompiling. No credential is compiled into the program. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/source/Server/Common/TCPIP/SslContextInitializer.cpp

Ikiwa programu iliyozalishwa na mradi haiesaidii mawasiliano ya mtandao, chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [crypto_used_network]

    SMTP, IMAP and POP3 support STARTTLS and implicit TLS. A new installation gets a certificate, offers STARTTLS on 25, 587, 110 and 143, and requires TLS for authentication from the Internet (SecureDefaults.md); a database that is upgraded or attached keeps its previous settings. The REST API (bound to 127.0.0.1) and the web-services listeners are off by default. The SNMP agent is off by default and speaks SNMPv3 authPriv, with v2c a separate opt-in. Outbound delivery supports DANE, MTA-STS and per-domain TLS policy. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/docs/SecureDefaults.md

    Programu iliyozalishwa na mradi INAPASWA, ikiwa inasaidia au inatumia TLS, kusaidia angalau toleo la TLS 1.2. Kumbuka kuwa kilichotangulia TLS kiliitwa SSL. Ikiwa programu haitumii TLS, chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [crypto_tls12]

    TLS 1.2 and 1.3 are the versions a new database enables (SslVersions 24). SSLv2 and SSLv3 cannot be enabled, and TLS 1.0 and 1.1 only by an explicit setting. The regression suite runs TLS 1.2 and 1.3 handshakes (RegressionTests/SSL/SslTlsVersionTests.cs). https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/source/Server/Common/TCPIP/SslContextInitializer.cpp

    Programu iliyozalishwa na mradi LAZIMA, ikiwa inasaidia TLS, ifanye uthibitishaji wa cheti cha TLS kwa chaguo-msingi inapotumia TLS, ikiwa ni pamoja na rasilimali ndogo. Ikiwa programu haitumii TLS, chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [crypto_certificate_verification]
    Kumbuka kuwa uthibitishaji usio sahihi wa cheti cha TLS ni kosa la kawaida. Kwa maelezo zaidi, angalia "The Most Dangerous Code in the World: Validating SSL Certificates in Non-Browser Software" na Martin Georgiev et al. na "Do you trust this application?" na Michael Catanzaro.

    Outbound TLS verifies certificates by default: a new database sets VerifyRemoteSslCertificate to 1. TCPConnection.cpp then sets verify_peer and verify_fail_if_no_peer_cert and installs a callback that checks the chain and the expected host name, with DANE-EE matching where TLSA records apply and MTA-STS forcing verification. Inbound client-certificate verification can be set per port. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/source/Server/Common/TCPIP/TCPConnection.cpp

    Programu iliyozalishwa na mradi LAZIMA, ikiwa inasaidia TLS, ifanye uthibitishaji wa cheti kabla ya kutuma vichwa vya HTTP na habari ya kibinafsi (kama vile vidakuzi salama). Ikiwa programu haitumii TLS, chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [crypto_verification_private]

    The verify mode and callback are set on the socket before the handshake, and a failed verification fails the handshake. So the server, as a client, sends SMTP AUTH credentials or any other private data only over a connection that has already been verified. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/source/Server/Common/TCPIP/TCPConnection.cpp


  • Kutolewa kwa usalama


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi LAZIMA uweke saini kwa kriptologia matoleo ya matokeo ya mradi yanayokusudiwa kwa matumizi ya kila mahali, na LAZIMA kuwe na mchakato ulioandikwa unaoweleza watumiaji jinsi wanaweza kupata funguo za umma za saini na kuthibitisha saini. Funguo ya kibinafsi kwa saini hizi LAZIMA ISIWE kwenye tovuti zinazosambaza moja kwa moja programu kwa umma. Ikiwa matoleo hayakusudiwa kwa matumizi ya kila mahali, chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [signed_releases]
    Matokeo ya mradi ni pamoja na msimbo wa chanzo na matokeo yoyote yaliyozalishwa pale inapohusika (k.m., mifumo inayotekelezeka, vifurushi, na vyombo). Matokeo yaliyozalishwa YANAWEZA kuwekwa saini tofauti na msimbo wa chanzo. Hizi ZINAWEZA kutekelezwa kama lebo za git zilizowekwa saini (kwa kutumia saini za kidijitali za kriptologia). Miradi YAWEZA kutoa matokeo yaliyozalishwa tofauti na zana kama vile git, lakini katika hali hizo, matokeo tofauti LAZIMA yawekwe saini tofauti.

    Every release published on GitLab is signed, and SECURITY.md documents how to get the public keys and verify each signature: https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/SECURITY.md#verifying-a-release. Release tags are SSH-signed with the key listed in the repository's allowed_signers file (also on the maintainer's GitLab account). Every asset of the releases from 6.2.19 to 6.3.3 carries a keyless Sigstore bundle recorded in the public Rekor log. The Windows installer is Authenticode-signed (Progressive Robot Ltd) since 6.3.1. From 6.3.4, the release's SHA256SUMS file, which lists the hash of every asset, is signed with the same SSH key (ssh-keygen -Y sign, verified with ssh-keygen -Y verify against allowed_signers). No private key is on a distribution site: Sigstore signing is keyless, the tag key stays on the maintainer's own machine, and the Authenticode key is held in Azure Artifact Signing.

    INAPENDEKEZWA kuwa katika mfumo wa udhibiti wa toleo, kila lebo muhimu ya toleo (lebo ambayo ni sehemu ya toleo kuu, toleo dogo, au kurekebishwa udhaifu uliotangazwa hadharani) iwekwe saini kwa kriptologia na iweze kuthibitishwa kama ilivyoelezwa katika signed_releases. [version_tags_signed]

    Every release tag from v6.2.23-alpha2 on is an annotated tag signed with a maintainer's SSH key, and each verifies with git verify-tag against the allow list in the repository (.github/allowed_signers on master today, .gitlab/allowed_signers once the next batch lands); SECURITY.md's 'Verifying a release' gives the command. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/SECURITY.md#verifying-a-release


  • Masuala mengine ya usalama

    Matokeo ya mradi LAZIMA yafanye ukaguzi wa pembejeo zote kutoka vyanzo visivyoaminika ili kuhakikisha ni halali (*orodha zinazokubalika*), na kukataa pembejeo zisizo halali, ikiwa kuna vizuizi vyovyote kwenye data kabisa. [input_validation]
    Kumbuka kuwa kulinganisha ingizo dhidi ya orodha ya "miundo mibaya" (aka *orodha za kukataza*) kwa kawaida haitoshi, kwa sababu washambuliaji mara nyingi wanaweza kuepuka orodha ya kukataza. Hasa, nambari zinabadilishwa kuwa miundo ya ndani na kisha kuangaliwa ikiwa ziko kati ya chini na juu zao (ikiwa ni pamoja), na vifungu vya maandishi vinaangaliwa ili kuhakikisha kuwa ni ruwaza halali za maandishi (k.m., UTF-8 halali, urefu, sintaksia, n.k.). Baadhi ya data inaweza kuhitaji kuwa "chochote kabisa" (k.m., kipakia faili), lakini hizi kwa kawaida zingekuwa nadra.

    Untrusted protocol input is checked at the boundary: SMTP, IMAP and POP3 commands are parsed against their grammar and anything else is refused. A bare LF before the end-of-data dot is refused (the SMTP smuggling rule, CVE-2023-51764), pinned by SMTP/BareLineFeedEndOfData.cs. SQL is parameterised by rule, and the MIME parser is fuzzed (fuzz/). https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/tree/master/fuzz

    Taratibu za kuimarisha ZINAPASWA kutumiwa katika programu iliyozalishwa na mradi ili kasoro za programu ziwe na uwezekano mdogo wa kusababisha udhaifu wa usalama. [hardening]
    Taratibu za kuimarisha zinaweza kujumuisha vichwa vya HTTP kama Sera ya Usalama wa Maudhui (CSP), bendera za mkusanyaji ili kupunguza mashambulizi (kama vile -fstack-protector), au bendera za mkusanyaji ili kuondoa tabia isiyofafanuliwa. Kwa madhumuni yetu upendeleo mdogo hauhesabiwi kuwa utaratibu wa kuimarisha (upendeleo mdogo ni muhimu, lakini tofauti).

    The Windows server is built with the MSVC hardening defaults left on (/GS, DEP, ASLR) and with Control Flow Guard (/guard:cf) in every configuration of hMailServer.vcxproj. The web pages it serves send Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options: DENY, and unsafe password-hash schemes are refused for new secrets. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/source/Server/hMailServer/hMailServer.vcxproj

    Mradi LAZIMA utoe kesi ya uhakika inayosababisha kwa nini mahitaji yake ya usalama yanakidhi. Kesi ya uhakika LAZIMA ijumuishe: maelezo ya muundo wa tishio, utambulisho wazi wa mipaka ya kuaminiwa, hoja kwamba kanuni za muundo salama zimetumika, na hoja kwamba udhaifu wa kawaida wa utekelezaji wa usalama umekabiliana nao. (URL inahitajika) [assurance_case]
    Kesi ya uhakika ni "mwili wa ushahidi ulioandikwa unaotoa hoja inayoshawishi na halali kwamba seti maalum ya madai muhimu kuhusu mali za mfumo ziko na sababu za kutosha kwa programu maalum katika mazingira maalum" ("Uhakika wa Programu Kwa kutumia Miundo ya Kesi ya Uhakika Iliyopangwa", Thomas Rhodes et al, NIST Interagency Report 7608). Mipaka ya kuaminiwa ni mipaka ambapo data au utekelezaji hubadilisha kiwango chake cha kuaminiwa, k.m., mipaka ya seva katika programu ya kawaida ya wavuti. Ni ya kawaida kuorodhesha kanuni za muundo salama (kama vile Saltzer na Schroeer) na udhaifu wa kawaida wa utekelezaji wa usalama (kama vile OWASP top 10 au CWE/SANS top 25), na kuonyesha jinsi kila moja unavyokabiliana. Kesi ya uhakika ya BadgeApp inaweza kuwa mfano wenye manufaa. Hii inahusiana na documentation_security, documentation_architecture, na implement_secure_design.

    ASSURANCE-CASE.md states the security requirements as seven claims (C1-C7). It covers the threat model (actors A1-A6, assets, attack surfaces) and the trust boundaries B1-B6 with a diagram, argues that secure design principles are applied, maps the countermeasures for common weaknesses to CWE classes (injection, memory corruption, smuggling, credential storage, randomness, certificate validation, resource exhaustion, supply chain), and gives evidence per claim and the residual risks. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/ASSURANCE-CASE.md


 Uchanganuzi 2/2 ●

  • Uchambuzi tuli wa msimbo


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Mradi LAZIMA utumie angalau zana moja ya uchanganuzi tuli yenye sheria au mbinu za kutafuta udhaifu wa kawaida katika lugha au mazingira yaliyochanganuliwa, ikiwa kuna angalau zana moja ya FLOSS inayoweza kutekeleza kigezo hiki katika lugha iliyochaguliwa. [static_analysis_common_vulnerabilities]
    Zana za uchambuzi tuli ambazo zimeundwa hasa kutafuta udhaifu wa kawaida zina uwezekano mkubwa wa kuzipata. Hata hivyo, kutumia zana zozote za tuli kwa kawaida itasaidia kupata baadhi ya matatizo, kwa hivyo tunashauri lakini hatunahitaji hii kwa kiwango cha nishani ya 'kupita'.

    clang-tidy runs the cert-, bugprone- and clang-analyzer-* check families (build/ci/clang-tidy.yaml), which look for common C and C++ weaknesses such as memory errors, unchecked conversions and unsafe functions, and Semgrep runs its open rule packs for C#, Python, JavaScript and shell, which include security rules. Until 18 September 2026 CodeQL's security queries also ran on GitHub. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/build/ci/clang-tidy.yaml


  • Uchambuzi wa msimbo wa nguvu za ziada


    Ya kutosha kwa nishani!

    Ikiwa programu iliyozalishwa na mradi inajumuisha programu iliyoandikwa kwa kutumia lugha isiyosalama ya kumbukumbu (k.m., C au C++), basi angalau zana moja ya nguvu (k.m., fuzzer au kitafutaji cha programu ya wavuti) LAZIMA itumike kwa kawaida kwa pamoja na utaratibu wa kugundua matatizo ya usalama wa kumbukumbu kama vile uandikaji zaidi wa kipengele. Ikiwa mradi hauzalishi programu iliyoandikwa katika lugha isiyosalama ya kumbukumbu, chagua "haihusiki" (N/A). [dynamic_analysis_unsafe]
    Mifano ya taratibu za kugundua matatizo ya usalama wa kumbukumbu ni pamoja na Address Sanitizer (ASAN) (inapatikana katika GCC na LLVM), Memory Sanitizer, na valgrind. Zana nyingine zinazoweza kutumika ni pamoja na thread sanitizer na undefined behavior sanitizer. Madai ya kila mahali pia yaweza kufanya kazi.

    The C++ MIME parser is fuzzed with libFuzzer under AddressSanitizer before every minor release (RELEASE.md step 8c; fuzz/, docs/Fuzzing.md). Before each release, the whole regression suite also runs on the assertion build, with a crash oracle that fails a test on any swallowed access violation. The nightly fuzz job (linux-fuzz) and an ASan/UBSan job over snmp-tests (linux-sanitize) are defined in .gitlab-ci.yml but have not yet run on GitLab; nightly fuzzing ran on GitHub until 18 September 2026. https://gitlab.com/Progressiverobot/hmailserver/-/blob/master/hmailserver/docs/Fuzzing.md
