Kayos 6fb63b0ca0 audit-fix round 3: LOW-1 mime cleanup, INFO-2 drop empty snippet, INFO-3 unit tests + format_imap_since tightening - LOW-1: mime_type construction simplified. Single `content_type().map()` with proper fallback instead of two unwrap_or chains where the second default could never fire. - INFO-2: ListEntry.snippet field dropped. Was always an empty string because list mode doesn't fetch the body. Field stays out until / unless we add a partial-body fetch in Phase C. - INFO-3: 18 unit tests for the pure validation helpers — validate_mailbox (accept + reject CR/LF/NUL/quote/backslash), has_imap_literal (with / without digits), format_imap_since (canonical + bad-shape rejection), strip_msgid_braces, clamp_limit, render_flag (every variant + Custom), strip_quotes (matched / unmatched / inner / empties), civil_from_unix (epoch / Y2K / 2026-05-21 / pre-epoch / leap day). - Bonus catch from the test suite: format_imap_since accepted malformed shapes like "21-05-2026" (parsed as y=21 m=5 d=2026) and "2026-5-21" (no field-width check). Added 4-2-2 digit-width check + year range (1900..=9999) + day range (1..=31). Month range was already enforced. All 18 tests pass.		2026-05-21 08:00:50 -07:00

mail-mcp

Rust MCP server for Sulkta-hosted email. SMTP send + IMAP read with RFC-correct headers, multipart/alternative when HTML is included, multipart/mixed for attachments, threading via In-Reply-To/References.

Replaces the scripts/kayos_mail.py CLI path that lived in kayos/openclaw-workspace since 2026-04-23.

Why a server, not a CLI

kayos_mail.py shipped without Date or Message-ID headers until a 2026-05-18 patch — exactly the kind of header-discipline regression a typed Rust server prevents at compile time. The "no spam bin" framing is mostly upstream of any client (Rackham postfix + rspamd DKIM-sign at the relay; mail-tester scored 10/10 and port25 SpamAssassin −7.31 on 2026-05-20), but a correct client doesn't trip filters with bad MIME structure, broken threading, or missing headers.

Tools (v0.1)

mail_send — send mail. Args: account?, to, cc[]?, bcc[]?, subject, body, body_html?, attachments[]?, in_reply_to?, references[]?. Returns {message_id, sent_at}.
mail_inbox_list — list folder messages newest-first. Args: account?, since? (YYYY-MM-DD), unread_only?, limit? (default 50, max 500), folder? (default INBOX). Uses BODY.PEEK so it does not toggle \Seen.
mail_inbox_read — fetch one message by UID. Args: account?, uid, folder?, format? (text|html|raw_eml). Attachment payloads are not inlined — only filename/mime_type/size metadata.

Headers we guarantee on outbound

Date — UTC, RFC 5322 (lettre auto)
Message-ID — <UUIDv4@<from_addr_domain>> — own-domain, never the container hostname
From — name <addr>
MIME-Version: 1.0
User-Agent: mail-mcp/<version>
In-Reply-To + References when threading args present
Content-Type correct for the body shape (text-only / alternative / mixed)

DKIM-Signature is applied by the relay (rspamd on Rackham), not the client.

Build

cargo build --release

Binary lands at target/release/mail-mcp.

Config

mkdir -p ~/.config/mail-mcp
cp config.example.toml ~/.config/mail-mcp/config.toml
chmod 600 ~/.config/mail-mcp/config.toml

Edit accounts as needed. Passwords are NEVER inline:

Looked up from the env var named in password_env
Falling back to password_file (shell-format: KEY=VALUE per line)
Hard-failing with a vault-pointer hint if neither resolves

Vault canonical: bw.sulkta.com → kayos@sulkta.com — IMAP/SMTP.

MCP wiring (Claude Code / kayos-house)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mail-mcp": {
      "command": "/usr/local/bin/mail-mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Logging is stderr-only — stdout is the JSON-RPC transport.

Future phases

Phase B (~200 LOC): multi-account routing across all configured [accounts.*], plus mail_thread and mail_search.
Phase C (~150 LOC): mail_mark (read/unread/flag/trash/archive), mail_attachment_get, mail_reply helper.
