Chez Valyent, nous construisons des logiciels open source pour les développeurs.
Dans le cadre de cette mission, nous développons actuellement Ferdinand, notre service d'envoi d'emails pour les développeurs (actuellement en alpha).
L'infrastructure de messagerie repose sur plusieurs protocoles clés, le plus important étant :
Dans l'article d'aujourd'hui, nous allons nous concentrer sur la création de notre propre serveur SMTP sortant, reflétant l'approche que nous avons adoptée avec Ferdinand. Ce faisant, nous acquerrons une compréhension approfondie du composant le plus crucial de l’infrastructure d’envoi d’e-mails.
"Ce que je ne peux pas créer, je ne le comprends pas."
—Richard Feynman
En créant un serveur SMTP sortant à partir de zéro, vous pouvez obtenir un niveau d'informations sur la livraison des e-mails que la plupart des développeurs n'atteignent jamais.
Pour continuer, nous allons utiliser le langage de programmation Go, ainsi que les superbes bibliothèques de messagerie de Simon Ser. Nous démystifierons le processus, vous montrerons comment envoyer des e-mails à d'autres serveurs et expliquerons même les concepts clés tels que SPF, DKIM et DMARC permettant la délivrabilité.
À la fin, vous aurez au moins une compréhension plus approfondie de l'infrastructure de messagerie, même si vous ne disposez pas d'un serveur SMTP prêt pour la production.
Avant de plonger dans le code, passons en revue ce qu'est SMTP et comment il fonctionne. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) est le protocole standard pour l'envoi d'e-mails sur Internet. Il s'agit d'un protocole textuel relativement simple qui fonctionne sur un modèle client-serveur.
Le protocole SMTP utilise des commandes. Chaque commande dans SMTP répond à un objectif spécifique dans le processus de transmission des e-mails. Ils permettent aux serveurs de se présenter, de spécifier les expéditeurs et les destinataires, de transférer le contenu réel des e-mails et de gérer la session de communication globale. Considérez ces commandes comme une conversation structurée entre deux serveurs de messagerie, où chaque commande représente une déclaration ou une question spécifique dans cette conversation.
Lorsque vous créez un serveur SMTP, vous créez essentiellement un programme capable de parler couramment cette langue, d'interpréter les commandes entrantes et de répondre de manière appropriée, ainsi que d'émettre les bonnes commandes lors de l'envoi d'e-mails.
Explorons les commandes SMTP les plus importantes pour voir comment se déroule cette conversation :
DATA From: john@example.com To: jane@example.com Subject: Hello This is the body of the email. .
Une conversation SMTP typique pourrait ressembler à ceci :
C: EHLO client.example.com S: 250-smtp.example.com Hello client.example.com S: 250-SIZE 14680064 S: 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN S: 250 HELP C: MAIL FROM:<sender@example.com> S: 250 OK C: RCPT TO:<recipient@example.com> S: 250 OK C: DATA S: 354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF> C: From: sender@example.com C: To: recipient@example.com C: Subject: Test Email C: C: This is a test email. C: . S: 250 OK: queued as 12345 C: QUIT S: 221 Bye
L'authentification est un aspect crucial de SMTP, en particulier pour les serveurs de messagerie sortants. Cela aide à empêcher toute utilisation non autorisée du serveur et réduit le spam. Il existe plusieurs méthodes d'authentification utilisées dans SMTP :
Here's an example of how PLAIN authentication looks in an SMTP conversation:
C: EHLO example.com S: 250-STARTTLS S: 250 AUTH PLAIN LOGIN C: AUTH PLAIN AGVtYWlsQGV4YW1wbGUuY29tAHBhc3N3b3Jk S: 235 2.7.0 Authentication successful
In this example, AGVtYWlsQGV4YW1wbGUuY29tAHBhc3N3b3Jk is the base64-encoded version of \0email@example.com\0password.
When implementing authentication in your SMTP server, you'll need to:
Now, let's move on to implementing these concepts in our Go SMTP server.
Imagine sending a letter through the postal service without a return address or an official stamp. It might reach its destination, but there's a good chance it'll end up in the "suspicious mail" pile. In the digital world of email, we face a similar challenge.
How do we ensure our emails aren't just sent, but actually delivered and trusted?
Enter the holy trinity of email authentication: DKIM, SPF, and DMARC.
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is like a wax seal on a medieval letter. It proves the email hasn't been tampered with during transit.
How it works:
Think of it as your email's passport, stamped and verified at each checkpoint.
Example DKIM DNS Record:
<selector>._domainkey.<domain>.<tld>. IN TXT "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQC3QEKyU1fSma0axspqYK5iAj+54lsAg4qRRCnpKK68hawSd8zpsDz77ntGCR0X2mHVvkHbX6dX...oIDAQAB"
Here, 'selector' is a unique identifier for this DKIM key, and the long string is your public key.
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is like the bouncer at an exclusive club. It specifies which email servers are allowed to send emails on behalf of your domain.
How it works:
It's like saying, "If the email didn't come from one of these guys, it's not with us!"
Example SPF DNS Record:
<domain>.<tld>. IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:192.0.2.0/24 include:_spf.google.com ~all"
This record says:
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) is the wise judge that decides what happens to emails that fail DKIM or SPF checks.
How it works:
Think of DMARC as your email bouncer's rulebook and incident report.
Example DMARC DNS Record:
_dmarc.<domain>.<tld>. IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@<domain>.<tld>"
This record says:
Together, DKIM, SPF, and DMARC form a powerful shield against email spoofing and phishing. They tell receiving servers, "This email is really from us, sent by someone we trust, and here's what to do if something seems fishy."
Implementing this trinity not only improves your email deliverability but also protects your domain's reputation. It's like having a state-of-the-art security system for your email infrastructure.
As we build our SMTP server, keeping these authentication methods in mind will be crucial for ensuring our emails don't just get sent, but actually reach their destination and are trusted when they arrive. Remember, when implementing these records on a production domain, start with permissive policies and gradually tighten them as you confirm everything is working correctly.
First, let's create a new directory for our project and initialize a Go module:
mkdir go-smtp-server cd go-smtp-server go mod init github.com/yourusername/go-smtp-server
We'll need a few dependencies for our SMTP server. Run the following commands:
go get github.com/emersion/go-smtp go get github.com/emersion/go-sasl go get github.com/emersion/go-msgauth
package main import ( "log" "time" "io" "github.com/emersion/go-smtp" ) func main() { s := smtp.NewServer(&Backend{}) s.Addr = ":2525" s.Domain = "localhost" s.WriteTimeout = 10 * time.Second s.ReadTimeout = 10 * time.Second s.MaxMessageBytes = 1024 * 1024 s.MaxRecipients = 50 s.AllowInsecureAuth = true log.Println("Starting server at", s.Addr) if err := s.ListenAndServe(); err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } } // Backend implements SMTP server methods. type Backend struct{} func (bkd *Backend) NewSession(_ *smtp.Conn) (smtp.Session, error) { return &Session{}, nil } // A Session is returned after EHLO. type Session struct{} // We'll implement the Session methods next
This creates an SMTP server, listening on the 2525 port, a convenient choice for development purposes, since this port doesn’t require administrative privileges, unlike the standard ports 25 (standard SMTP), 465 (TLS), 587 (STARTTLS).
The EHLO/HELO command is handled automatically by the go-smtp library. We don't need to implement it ourselves.
Add this method to the Session struct:
func (s *Session) Mail(from string, opts *smtp.MailOptions) error { fmt.Println("Mail from:", from) s.From = from return nil }
This method is called when the server receives a MAIL FROM command. It logs the sender's address and stores it in the session.
Add this method to the Session struct:
func (s *Session) Rcpt(to string) error { fmt.Println("Rcpt to:", to) s.To = append(s.To, to) return nil }
This method is called for each RCPT TO command. It logs the recipient's address and adds it to the list of recipients for this session.
Add this method to the Session struct:
import ( "fmt" "io" ) func (s *Session) Data(r io.Reader) error { if b, err := io.ReadAll(r); err != nil { return err } else { fmt.Println("Received message:", string(b)) // Here you would typically process the email return nil } }
This method is called when the server receives the DATA command. It reads the entire email message and logs it. In a real server, you would process the email here.
Add this method to the Session struct:
func (s *Session) AuthPlain(username, password string) error { if username != "testuser" || password != "testpass" { return fmt.Errorf("Invalid username or password") } return nil }
This implements a basic authentication mechanism. Note that this is for demonstration purposes only and should not be used in production.
Add this method to the Session struct:
func (s *Session) Reset() { s.From = "" s.To = []string{} }
This method is called when the server receives a RSET command. It resets the session state.
Add this method to the Session struct:
func (s *Session) Logout() error { return nil }
This method is called when the server receives a QUIT command. In this simple implementation, we don't need to do anything special.
Once we've received and processed an email, the next step is to send it to its destination. This involves two key steps: finding the recipient's mail server using MX (Mail Exchanger) records, and attempting to send the email using standard SMTP ports.
First, let's add a function to look up MX records:
import "net" func lookupMX(domain string) ([]*net.MX, error) { mxRecords, err := net.LookupMX(domain) if err != nil { return nil, fmt.Errorf("Error looking up MX records: %v", err) } return mxRecords, nil }
Next, let's create a function that attempts to send an email using different ports:
import ( "crypto/tls" "net/smtp" "strings" ) func sendMail(from string, to string, data []byte) error { domain := strings.Split(to, "@")[1] mxRecords, err := lookupMX(domain) if err != nil { return err } for _, mx := range mxRecords { host := mx.Host for _, port := range []int{25, 587, 465} { address := fmt.Sprintf("%s:%d", host, port) var c *smtp.Client var err error switch port { case 465: // SMTPS tlsConfig := &tls.Config{ServerName: host} conn, err := tls.Dial("tcp", address, tlsConfig) if err != nil { continue } c, err = smtp.NewClient(conn, host) case 25, 587: // SMTP or SMTP with STARTTLS c, err = smtp.Dial(address) if err != nil { continue } if port == 587 { if err = c.StartTLS(&tls.Config{ServerName: host}); err != nil { c.Close() continue } } } if err != nil { continue } // SMTP conversation if err = c.Mail(from); err != nil { c.Close() continue } if err = c.Rcpt(to); err != nil { c.Close() continue } w, err := c.Data() if err != nil { c.Close() continue } if _, err := w.Write(data); err != nil { c.Close() continue } err = w.Close() if err != nil { c.Close() continue } c.Quit() return nil } } return fmt.Errorf("Failed to send email to %s", to) }
This function does the following:
Now, let's modify our Data method in the Session struct to use this new sendMail function:
func (s *Session) Data(r io.Reader) error { if data, err := io.ReadAll(r); err != nil { return err } else { fmt.Println("Received message:", string(data)) for _, recipient := range s.To { if err := sendMail(s.From, recipient, data); err != nil { fmt.Printf("Failed to send email to %s: %v", recipient, err) } else { fmt.Printf("Email sent successfully to %s", recipient) } } return nil } }
This implementation will attempt to send the received email to each recipient using the appropriate mail server and port.
Now, let's add DKIM signing to our email sending process. First, we need to import the necessary packages and set up our DKIM options:
import ( // ... other imports ... "crypto/rsa" "crypto/x509" "encoding/pem" "github.com/emersion/go-msgauth/dkim" ) // Load your DKIM private key var dkimPrivateKey *rsa.PrivateKey func init() { // Load your DKIM private key from a file privateKeyPEM, err := ioutil.ReadFile("path/to/your/private_key.pem") if err != nil { log.Fatalf("Failed to read private key: %v", err) } block, _ := pem.Decode(privateKeyPEM) if block == nil { log.Fatalf("Failed to parse PEM block containing the private key") } privateKey, err := x509.ParsePKCS1PrivateKey(block.Bytes) if err != nil { log.Fatalf("Failed to parse private key: %v", err) } dkimPrivateKey = privateKey } // DKIM options var dkimOptions = &dkim.SignOptions{ Domain: "example.com", Selector: "default", Signer: dkimPrivateKey, }
Next, let's modify our sendMail function to include DKIM signing:
func sendMail(from string, to string, data []byte) error { // ... [previous MX lookup code] ... for _, mx := range mxRecords { host := mx.Host for _, port := range []int{25, 587, 465} { // ... [previous connection code] ... // DKIM sign the message var b bytes.Buffer if err := dkim.Sign(&b, bytes.NewReader(data), dkimOptions); err != nil { return fmt.Errorf("Failed to sign email with DKIM: %v", err) } signedData := b.Bytes() // SMTP conversation if err = c.Mail(from); err != nil { c.Close() continue } if err = c.Rcpt(to); err != nil { c.Close() continue } w, err := c.Data() if err != nil { c.Close() continue } _, err = w.Write(signedData) // Use the DKIM signed message if err != nil { c.Close() continue } err = w.Close() if err != nil { c.Close() continue } c.Quit() return nil } } return fmt.Errorf("Failed to send email to %s", to) }
In this updated sendMail function:
This implementation will add a DKIM signature to your outgoing emails, which will help improve deliverability and authenticity of your emails.
N'oubliez pas de remplacer "path/to/your/private_key.pem" par le chemin réel de votre clé privée DKIM, et mettez à jour le domaine et le sélecteur dans dkimOptions pour qu'ils correspondent à votre enregistrement DNS DKIM.
Bien que cette implémentation fournisse un serveur SMTP fonctionnel de base capable de recevoir et d'envoyer des e-mails, il existe plusieurs considérations importantes pour un serveur prêt pour la production :
