Nettify’s Thunderbird Autoconfig Incident

Addresstigator was unveiled on January 4th, 2022, with one idea in mind: to easily allow C# programs to determine the server configuration from just one e-mail address using Thunderbird’s Autoconfig as the backend. Back then, it was fully online, and we wanted to make it possible to do the same thing offline for performance reasons and for those with sloppy internet connection.

Nettify tried to solve this problem by employing a script that provides a way to obtain information for all the mail providers. However, our method and our automation didn’t really account for two things:

• Our automated workflow was run once per day, and it was scraping the whole directory found in the online Autoconfig server.
• The autoconfig server may not be able to handle the excessive load caused by too many requests to different files that provide info about different service providers.

Today, our mail watch has recently pushed a commit to Nettify that emptied the mail list text file, and that led to us acting quickly before starting to make another release if necessary. We’ve reviewed our method by removing some options from the curl command, and saw that we were blocked by the CloudFlare protection mechanism, which led us to reviewing the Thunderbird Autoconfig repository and using it as a submodule to reproduce the exact same files without having to connect to the Autoconfig servers repeatedly.

As a result, we’ve released v1.5.5.2 as one of the procedures to ensure that incidents like this and the Textify one won’t happen again.

We deeply apologize to the Thunderbird team and everyone else affected by our old procedure for causing unnecessary load to the Thunderbird servers. We didn’t realize that it was a mistake prior to pushing the workflow that pulled mail info for all providers. We are working on providing compensation to those affected in many ways.

We promise that such mistakes will never repeat again, and that we’ll evaluate our future choices before we start working on them.

Thunderbird Auto Config Server (TACS)

На хабре уже были статьи по настройке почтового клиента Thunderbird, с подробным разбором его возможностей и деталей настроек, а поиск по сети выдаёт множество блогов с продублированной информацией о самых базовых его возможностях. Каждый из авторов решал настройку почты своим путём, используя разные языки и подходы. Моя цель - попытаться унифицировать это, избавиться от самописных скриптов, предоставив готовый сервер-шаблонизатор для выдачи настроек по запросу почтового клиента.

Me : let's try to setup autoconfig for my mail server.

Turns out there is approximately 1000 setup, but all based on the same xml config...

autodiscover, autoconfig, /.well-known/autoconfig/, /mail/, /autodiscover/autodiscover.json/v1.0/...

But I still cannot figure out how to run it.

Does someone has a running conf' ? that runs today ?

Does anyone has a current documentation for the stuff ?

#mail #autoconfig

A2052 update.

It's mocking me.

If I put it in with no other cards it reports defective and ATK and DiagROM show address/data errors.

If I put it in slot 1 and the ancient Buddha IDE card in a higher number slot I get similar but slightly fewer errors.

If I put the Buddha card in any lower numbered slot than the A2052 it still reports as defective but ATK and DiagROM show the 512kb RAM fitted as working fine.

What. The. Heck

#Outlook und #Autodiscover V2:

"Die Arbeit an dieser Implementierung führte uns wieder einmal drastisch vor Augen, dass echte digitale Unabhängigkeit nur dann erreichbar ist, wenn man konsequent auf freie Software sowie auf freie und gut dokumentierte Protokolle setzt."
