feature: provide better rspamd suppport (#3016)
* added options to toggle OpenDKIM & OpenDMARC

rspamd can provide DKIM signing and DMARC checking itself, so users
should be able to disable OpenDKIM & OpenDMARC. The default is left at
1, so users have to to opt-in when the want to disable the features.

* misc small enhancements

* adjusted start of rspamd

The order of starting redis + rspamd was reversed (now correct) and
rspamd now starts with the correct user.

* adjusted rspamd core configuration

The main configuration was revised. This includes AV configuration as
well as worker/proxy/controller configuration used to control the main
rspamd processes.

The configuration is not tested extensively, but well enough that I am
confident to go forward with it until we declare rspamd support as
stable.

* update & improve the documentation

* add tests

These are some initial tests which test the most basic functionality.

* tests(refactor): Improve consistency and documentation for test helpers (#3012)

* added `ALWAYS_RUN` target `Makefile` recipies (#3013)

This ensures the recipies are always run.

* improve documentation

* apply suggestions from code review (no. 1 by @polarthene)

* streamline heredoc (EOM -> EOF)

* adjust rspamd test (remove unnecessary run arguments)

Security | Rspamd

!!! warning "Implementation of Rspamd into DMS is WIP!"

About

Rspamd is a "fast, free and open-source spam filtering system". It offers high performance as it is written in C. Visit their homepage for more details.

Integration & Configuration

We provide a very simple but easy to maintain setup of RSpamd. The proxy worker operates in self-scan mode. This simplifies the setup as we do not require a normal worker. You can easily change this though by overriding the configuration by DMS.

Providing & Overriding Settings

DMS brings sane default settings for Rspamd. They are located at /etc/rspamd/local.d/ inside the container (or target/rspamd/local.d/ in the repository). If you want to change these settings and / or provide your own settings, you can

  1. place files at /etc/rspamd/override.d/ which will override Rspamd settings and DMS settings
  2. (re-)place files at /etc/rspamd/local.d/ to override DMS settings and merge them with Rspamd settings

You can find a list of all Rspamd modules on their website.

DMS' Defaults

You can choose to enable ClamAV, and Rspamd will then use it to check for viruses. Just set the environment variable ENABLE_CLAMAV=1.

DMS disables certain modules (clickhouse, dkim_signing, elastic, greylist, rbl, reputation, spamassassin, url_redirector, metric_exporter) by default. We believe these are not required in a standard setup, and needlessly use resources. You can re-activate them by replacing /etc/rspamd/local.d/<MODULE>.conf or overriding DMS' default with /etc/rspamd/override.d/<MODULE>.conf.

DMS does not set a default password for the controller worker. You may want to do that yourself. In setup where you already have an authentication provider in front of the Rspamd webpage, you may add secure_ip = "0.0.0.0/0"; to worker-controller.inc to disable password authentication inside Rspamd completely.

Missing in DMS' Current Implementation

We currently lack easy integration for DKIM signing. We use OpenDKIM though which should work just as well. If you want to use Rspamd for DKIM signing, you need to provide all settings yourself and probably also set the environment ENABLE_OPENKIM=0. Do not confuse the signing with checking DKIM signatures of other emails: Rspamd will check signatures from other emails, just not sign yours in the default configuration.
