# mailsender
OpenPGP encryption for Spring Boot mail: discovers recipients' keys via Web Key Directory (WKD) and sends
PGP/MIME (RFC 3156), or hands mail to an encrypting relay. See [docs/PLAN.md](docs/PLAN.md) for the design
and milestone status.
Requires JDK 27 and Maven 3.9+. Built on Spring Boot 4.1.1 and PGPainless 2.0.
```
mvn verify
```
## Modules
| Module | Contents |
|---|---|
| `mailsender-pgp-core` | WKD key discovery, caching, pinned keys, certificate validation, OpenPGP encryption, PGP/MIME (no Spring) |
| `mailsender-pgp-spring-boot-autoconfigure` | `mail.pgp.*` properties and beans |
| `mailsender-pgp-spring-boot-starter` | dependency bundle for applications |
| `mailsender-demo` | sample app that sends test mails |
## Installation
Releases and snapshots are published to the Gitea Maven registry of the `public` owner by
`.gitea/workflows/publish.yml` (push to `main` → `-SNAPSHOT`, tag `v1.2.3` → `1.2.3`):
```xml
gitea-public
https://YOUR-GITEA-HOST/api/packages/public/maven
pro.thinhha.mailsender
mailsender-pgp-spring-boot-starter
0.1.0
```
If the packages are not public, add a `` with id `gitea-public` and a token with `read:package` scope to
your `settings.xml`.
## Usage
Add `pro.thinhha.mailsender:mailsender-pgp-spring-boot-starter`, configure `spring.mail.*` as usual, and send
through `SecureMailSender` instead of `JavaMailSender`:
```java
SendReport report = secureMailSender.send(message); // MimeMessage or SimpleMailMessage
```
Each recipient's key is looked up via WKD (cached) and validated. The message is then sent PGP/MIME-encrypted to
recipients with a usable key and in plaintext to the rest (logged as a downgrade), or refused with
`EncryptionPolicyException` if a `REQUIRE` recipient has no key. `SendReport` lists the outcome per recipient.
```yaml
mail:
pgp:
mode: BUILT_IN # or RELAY: hand plaintext to an encrypting gateway (mail.pgp.relay.*)
default-policy: OPPORTUNISTIC # REQUIRE | OPPORTUNISTIC | PLAINTEXT
mixed-mode: SPLIT # or FAIL
recipients:
"[*@partner.example]": REQUIRE
sender-keys: # your own PUBLIC key, so sent copies stay readable
"[noreply@example.com]": file:/etc/mail/noreply.pub.asc
```
Map keys that are addresses need the `[...]` brackets. See [docs/PLAN.md](docs/PLAN.md) for all options.
- `mail.pgp.protected-headers=true` encrypts the real Subject too (RFC 9788); the visible Subject becomes `[...]`.
- With Micrometer, `mail.pgp.recipients{outcome,policy,reason}`, `mail.pgp.refused`, `mail.pgp.key.lookup` and
`mail.pgp.key.cache.size` are recorded.
- With Actuator, expose `pgpkeys` to inspect an address (`GET /actuator/pgpkeys/{email}`) or evict cached keys
(`DELETE /actuator/pgpkeys/{email}`).
## Demo app
The demo app sends `DEMO_COUNT` test mails (default: 1 to `test@thinhha.pro`) through `SecureMailSender` and logs
the outcome per recipient: PGP/MIME-encrypted (RFC 3156) when a valid WKD key is found, otherwise plaintext.
Set `MAIL_PGP_MODE=RELAY` and `RELAY_HOST`/`RELAY_PORT`/`RELAY_USERNAME`/`RELAY_PASSWORD` to send via a gateway.
```
