Describe the feature you'd like

either a configuration to change the used sendmail command or a selector to change the sendmail configuration.

e.g. for us we need something like /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail -bs

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

More flexibility to mail configuration.

In our case we would be able to use sendmail from bookstack without changing bookstack code or implementing a new selinux module.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Yes, you can change the contents of /app/Config/mail.php. But this needs to be change with every update of Bookstack and therefore not a good solution.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundemental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

0 to 6 months

Hi @someplace53,
Thanks for the request.

Could you explain how the options for sendmail relate to SELinux?
I had it in mind that options used for sendmail were really just down to the MTA/Sendmail-implementation that's active, and that most modern actually used implementations support the -bs params.

Sorry if I'm asking something obvious, I've always had trouble understanding some of the corners of the linux system world, especially SELinux.

Sorry, for the long respond time.

Sadly i am no SELinux expert myself, I just have some base knowledge and am able to navigate the error messages (mostly). And I would say most questions concerning SELinux are not obvious :-)

In this case, the problem is that sendmail -bs tries to run smtpd, which is forbidden from a httpd context by SELinux. Without SELinux or from another context this should work.

Error message from maillog:

postfix/sendmail[5334]: fatal: execv /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: Permission denied

Error message from SELinux (sealert):

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix from execute access on the file smtpd. [...]

I can give you the rest of the sealtert message, but I would have to redact some things, and I do not see any useful information for you

    Merge pull request BookStackApp#4062 from BookStackApp/settings_perf

    Changed the way settings are loaded

commit 8bebea4
Author: Dan Brown <ssddanbrown@googlemail.com>
Date:   Thu Feb 23 22:14:47 2023 +0000

    Changed the way settings are loaded

    This new method batch-loads them from the database, and removes the
    cache-layer with the intention that a couple of batch fetches from the
    DB is more efficient than hitting the cache each time.

commit 6545afa
Author: Dan Brown <ssddanbrown@googlemail.com>
Date:   Thu Feb 23 12:30:27 2023 +0000

    Changed autosave handling for better editor performance

    This changes how the editors interact with the parent page-editor
    compontent, which handles auto-saving.
    Instead of blasting the full editor content upon any change to that
    parent compontent, the editors just alert of a change, without the
    content. The parent compontent then requests the editor content from the
    editor component when it needs that data for an autosave.

    For BookStackApp#3981

commit 3149575
Author: Dan Brown <ssddanbrown@googlemail.com>
Date:   Wed Feb 22 14:32:40 2023 +0000

    Made page-save HTML formatting much more efficient

    Replaced the existing xpath-heavy system with a more manual traversal
    approach. Fixes following slow areas of old system:
    - Old system would repeat ID-setting action for elements (Headers could
      be processed up to three times).
    - Old system had a few very open xpath queries for headers.
    - Old system would update links on every ID change, which triggers it's
      own xpath query for links, leading to exponential scaling issues.

    New system only does one xpath query for links when changes are needed.
    Added test to cover.

    For BookStackApp#3932

commit c803961
Author: Dan Brown <ssddanbrown@googlemail.com>
Date:   Mon Feb 20 13:05:23 2023 +0000

    Increased attachment link limit from 192 to 2k

    Added test to cover.
    Did attempt a 64k limit, but values over 2k significantly increase
    chance of other issues since this URL may be used in redirect headers.
    Would rather catch issues in-app.

    For BookStackApp#4044

commit 8da3e64
Author: Dan Brown <ssddanbrown@googlemail.com>
Date:   Mon Feb 20 12:05:52 2023 +0000

    Updated language files to remove literal "1" values

    This is to encourge the ":count" values to be used instead of 1s in the
    translated variants so that non-pluralised languages are hardcoded with
    "1"s in their content, even when not used in a singular context.
