Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Enabling SMTP Relay on a server without Postfix can leave port 25 open on public interfaces until Postfix restarts. After the relay is enabled, mail from non-site accounts may be rejected. Some PHP mail with unusual From headers fails under the default force rule, even though that rule replaces the header. A failed SMTP cleanup during uninstall can leave other addons stopped. Address these issues before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

accounts can submit mail when the relay is enabled; retain the existing root,
postfix, and site-user entries.

- Around line 65-67: Update prepareSubmission so senderFromHeader parses fromRaw
only when site.rule.mode is "allow" and fromRaw is non-null; in force mode, use
the configured sender without parsing the message’s From header.
In `@cli/provision.ts`:
- Around line 273-278: After updating `inet_interfaces` with `postconf` in the
Postfix provisioning flow, restart the service so the new binding takes effect
immediately; fail provisioning if the restart fails. Keep the existing
`systemctl enable --now postfix` behavior.
In `@cli/uninstall.ts`:
- Line 75: Move the `spec.deactivate?.()` hook in the uninstall flow to after
the `--yes` confirmation check and before `stopUnits`. This ensures a failed
deactivation aborts before shared units or other uninstall state are changed.

Allow approved non-site accounts in local_login_sender_maps.
localSenderMap includes only root, postfix, and CloudPanel site users. When the relay is enabled, an unlisted Unix login has no allowed envelope-sender patterns in the configured hash: map. Its Postfix local submission can therefore be rejected. Add explicit entries, such as clp *, for every supported non-site account, or document that enabling the relay restricts those accounts.

Parse From only in allow mode.
prepareSubmission calls senderFromHeader(fromRaw) before it checks the rule mode. In force mode, the parsed value is discarded, but invalid values can still reject the message. smtpAddress rejects values such as wordpress@example.com (WordPress), group syntax, and local parts containing '.
A quoted display name with a comma is accepted when it uses an angle-bracket address, so it is not an example of this failure.

A fresh Postfix install keeps listening on all interfaces after inet_interfaces=loopback-only is set.
On Debian, apt-get install postfix starts the service immediately, and the default is inet_interfaces = all. postconf -e inet_interfaces=loopback-only then changes main.cf. systemctl enable --now postfix does nothing to a unit that is already active. Postfix applies inet_interfaces only after a full stop and start, not after a reload. As a result, port 25 stays bound on public interfaces until the next restart. docs/decisions/smtp.md states the opposite: "A newly installed Postfix is bound to loopback".
Restart Postfix after the postconf change.

Run spec.deactivate?.() before the uninstall stops shared units.
deactivateSmtp throws when action smtp deactivate fails. Causes include a pool conflict, an untrusted file, a failed postfix check, or a site whose user cannot be resolved. At Line 75, the uninstall has already run stopUnits(remaining.length > 0), reconcileAnchors, and removeSudoers(). The throw skips installUnits and startUnits, so the remaining addons stay stopped. Move the hook to a point after the --yes check and before stopUnits. A failed deactivation then aborts the uninstall with no side effects. cli/toggle.ts already follows this order: it calls the hook first.
