Context In a previous fix https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/83276 , the `_notify_get_reply_to_formatted_email` method was introduced to prevent edge-cases where the cypthon `email` library might incorrectly fold the “Reply-To” email header. We identified an other corner case where DKIM signature verification might fail on the recipient’s end depending on the tech stack used to verify the DKIM signature vs the one used to DKIM sign it on the sending end. This might be related to how RFC5322 and RFC6376 interact with each other : In RFC5322 defines folding white spaces as follows : ``` FWS = ([*WSP CRLF] 1*WSP) / obs-FWS with obsolete FWS = 1*WSP *(CRLF 1*WSP) ``` While RFC6376 uses : `FWS = [*WSP CRLF] 1*WSP ` Based on this, it seems that for proper header content folding, the specifications expects at least one WSP (space or tab) before a CRLF. Currently when using the `email` cpython library to handle email objects, we observed that when the header value for the “Reply-To” is longer than 68 characters, it will return a folded string representation adding a linebreak after the colon. Example: `Reply-To:\r\n "Marc R.Long Name Jonhson" <catchall@very.long.subdomain@example.com>\r\n` Notice that the there is no WSP between the colon character an `\r\n`. It seems that in this corner case, certain DKIM verification tech stacks (from tests Microsoft Outlook and Rspamd) will miss-read the “Reply-to” header as empty, while others correct for it (Gmail). This in returns leads to the DKIM signature verification failing. As it is impossible to test every possible combination of DKIM tech stacks in the email ecosystem and that until the `email` cypython library handles this corner case correctly, this fix tries to preformat the “Reply-To” more defensively. We also print a warning log if the `record_email` alone is longer than 68 characters (as it will not be folded), inviting the user to shorten it to prevent DKIM verification issues. Unit test fixing: - shortened alias name to prevent the 68 character limit from being triggered during the test_notification_reply_to_batch performance test (as we are not testing the 68 char here) - changed language in test_mail_message_values_fromto_long_name to reflect the new 68 character limit and mutted logger, as it now print a warning message Considerations for the future This PR only prevents the “Reply-To” from being malformed. In theory, the miss-folding could happen to any email header constructed using the `email` cpython library. In practice, the probability of the “To” and “From” being affected is low, as they usually don’t exceed a total of 78 characters as per RFC. Nevertheless if the future shows that this might be a bigger issue, one should think about: * On Odoo side: add a more robust header value formatting applied to all affected headers before the email gets sent out * On Python’s side: work with the `email` library maintainer to find a longterm solution opw-3826296 fixed test and conflicts in 17.0 FW closes odoo/odoo#161014 X-original-commit: 894f981d04195861e757c052b7d10155cb5975b4 Signed-off-by: Thibault Delavallee (tde) <tde@openerp.com>
