PURPOSE
Help people setuping their mail server with clear labels and form view.
SPECIFICATIONS
Rename Description to Name, as Description indicates a secondary text
field. Add a placeholder to indicate it is used as a functional name
and not a technical field.
Relabel the field for filtering to FROM Filtering. Current From Filter
could lead to think it filters incoming emails which is not the case.
Move button for testing in header as on all form views.
Use radio buttons for authentication and encryption to display available
settings directly to user. This is more user friendly than selection boxes.
Split connection information in two groups: authentication and security.
Each group comes with its options below main radio-based field.

PURPOSE
=======
We want to increase the score of the emails sent by Odoo and we want to
avoid them to be marked as spam by the mail clients (gmail, outook...).
SPECIFICATIONS
===============
From filter
-----------
Add a new field on the "ir.mail_server" which is "from_filter". This
field defines the email address for which the outgoing email server can
be used.
The "from_filter" can either define an email address or a domain name.
Use the system parameter "mail.default.from" which allow us to define
a default email address which is used to encapsulate the emails
(default: notifications@<catch.all.domain>).
Mail server priorities
----------------------
When sending an email, we read the FROM header and,
- We first look for a mail server which match the entire mail FROM
in that case, we do not change the email header (not needed)
- If not found, we search a mail server which matches the domain name of
the mail from (do not need to change the headers in that case)
- If not found, find the mail server linked to the "notifications"
email (defined in the system parameter). Then change the FROM header
to the notification email, and put the old one in the name part of
this header.
E.g.
Initial mail from: "Admin" < admin@example.com >
Final mail from: "Admin (admin@odoo.com)" < notifications@odoo.com >
- If no notification email is configured or if no mail server are
found for the notification email, fallback to the old system and
spoof the FROM header. In that case we do not have the choice if we
want to send the email, he will probably be marked as spam.
Sending method priority
-----------------------
In the mail server models, we defined some priorities,
1. Forced SMTP session
2. Forced mail server
3. Try to find the best mail server (see "Mail server priorities")
4. If not found, read the odoo-bin arguments
Bounce
------
As there's no standard for bounce address, we put it in the envelope
(smtp_from). But in some case, it might be considered as spoofing. So,
we use the bounce address ONLY if the mail server is configured for the
entire domain name.
One behavior which might be broken is the following; we send an email as
"std@gmail.com" and the bounce address is on the domain "odoo.com".
Before we received the bounce notifications but we were spoofing the
local part and the domain.
Now
- if a mail server is configured for GMAIL, we do not use the bounce
address (and we might not receive the bounce notification)
- if no mail server is configured for GMAIL, but one is configured for
"odoo.com"
- the FROM header will be "notifications@odoo.com"
- the FROM envelope will be the bounce address
=> In this situation we are spoofing only the local part of the email
but it's allowed as the mail server is configured for the entire
domain name

odoo/odoo#61853odoo/upgrade#1903
PURPOSE
=======
We want to be able to authenticate our servers with a certificate
for the entire domain name instead of using a username and a password.
SPECIFICATIONS
==============
Add 2 fields on the `ir.mail_server`, which are
- the SSL certificate
- the SSL private key
When we uploaded both files, we use them to authenticate the client of
the SSL connection.
Add 2 options on the Odoo binary, so we can provide the filenames of both
files (like we do for the SMTP username/password).
SETTINGS
========
Note that this type of authentication doesn't work locally for Microsoft
office 365. It seems like Microsoft is blocking non-static IP address
(not able to ping the host locally, but it works on the server).
The host name of the server is defined in the MX DNS record. Then, on
Office 365 you must create an SMTP relay based on a certificate and not
based on a hard coded IP address. The certificate must be valid for your
domain name.
e.g.
Host: openerp-org.mail.protection.outlook.com
Port: 25
Username: <keep it blank>
Password: <keep it blank>
Security: STARTTLS
Email: admin@odoobe.com
New Python dependence
=====================
The standard SSL python library only takes a filename to the certificate
/ private key.
But, we do not want to use attachments and take the full path to the
file (in the filestore) or to create temporary file.
So, we need to use a new library "PyOpenSSL" which allows you to load
a certificate / private key from a byte array.
To make this library work with SMTPLIB we use a wrapper developed
in urllib3 (PyOpenSSLContext).

Model `ir.mail_server` already have `active` field but It was not
present on View which makes it impossible to Archive record.
Now, we add option to archive record through an action or toggle
button.

It is now possible not to format integers according to locale
This is particularly interesting and relevant when a number holds
