+# Implementation Hints and Learnings
+
+## SmartProxy Usage
+
+### Direct Component Usage
+- Use SmartProxy components directly instead of creating your own wrappers
+- SmartProxy already includes Port80Handler and NetworkProxy functionality
+- When using SmartProxy, configure it directly rather than instantiating Port80Handler or NetworkProxy separately
+
+```typescript
+// PREFERRED: Use SmartProxy with built-in ACME support
+const smartProxy = new plugins.smartproxy.SmartProxy({
+  fromPort: 443,
+  toPort: targetPort,
+  targetIP: targetServer,
+  sniEnabled: true,
+  acme: {
+    port: 80,
+    enabled: true,
+    autoRenew: true,
+    useProduction: true,
+    renewThresholdDays: 30,
+    accountEmail: contactEmail
+  },
+  globalPortRanges: [{ from: 443, to: 443 }],
+  domainConfigs: [/* domain configurations */]
+});
+```
+
+### Certificate Management
+- SmartProxy has built-in ACME certificate management
+- Configure it in the `acme` property of SmartProxy options
+- Use `accountEmail` (not `email`) for the ACME contact email
+- SmartProxy handles both HTTP-01 challenges and certificate application automatically
+
+## qenv Usage
+
+### Direct Usage
+- Use qenv directly instead of creating environment variable wrappers
+- Instantiate qenv with appropriate basePath and nogitPath:
+
+```typescript
+const qenv = new plugins.qenv.Qenv('./', '.nogit/');
+const value = await qenv.getEnvVarOnDemand('ENV_VAR_NAME');
+```
+
+## TypeScript Interfaces
+
+### SmartProxy Interfaces
+- Always check the interfaces from the node_modules to ensure correct property names
+- Important interfaces:
+  - `ISmartProxyOptions`: Main configuration for SmartProxy
+  - `IAcmeOptions`: ACME certificate configuration
+  - `IDomainConfig`: Domain-specific configuration
+
+### Required Properties
+- Remember to include all required properties in your interface implementations
+- For `ISmartProxyOptions`, `globalPortRanges` is required
+- For `IAcmeOptions`, use `accountEmail` for the contact email
+
+## Testing
+
+### Test Structure
+- Follow the project's test structure, using `@push.rocks/tapbundle`
+- Use `expect(value).toEqual(expected)` for equality checks
+- Use `expect(value).toBeTruthy()` for boolean assertions
+
+```typescript
+tap.test('test description', async () => {
+  const result = someFunction();
+  expect(result.property).toEqual('expected value');
+  expect(result.valid).toBeTruthy();
+});
+```
+
+### Cleanup
+- Include a cleanup test to ensure proper test resource handling
+- Add a `stop` test to forcefully end the test when needed:
+
+```typescript
+tap.test('stop', async () => {
+  await tap.stopForcefully();
+});
+```
+
+## Architecture Principles
+
+### Simplicity
+- Prefer direct usage of libraries instead of creating wrappers
+- Don't reinvent functionality that already exists in dependencies
+- Keep interfaces clean and focused, avoiding unnecessary abstraction layers
+
+### Component Integration
+- Leverage built-in integrations between components (like SmartProxy's ACME handling)
+- Use parallel operations for performance (like in the `stop()` method)
+- Separate concerns clearly (HTTP handling vs. SMTP handling)

- # DcRouter Implementation Plan
+# DcRouter SMTP Store-and-Forward Implementation Plan

- This document outlines the plan for developing **DcRouter**, a central routing
- component for the platform service. DcRouter will provide:
-   - HTTP/HTTPS reverse proxy with TLS (ACME) support
-   - TCP/SNI-based proxying
-   - Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for inbound/outbound SMTP
-   - Rule-based routing for web and mail traffic
-   - DNS-based dynamic routing
-   - Configuration, persistence, logging, and monitoring
+## Overview
+This plan outlines the implementation of a store-and-forward SMTP proxy within DcRouter that receives emails, processes them, and forwards them to the appropriate destinations. This capability expands DcRouter beyond simple connection proxying to provide full control over email flow, including content inspection, transformation, and reliable delivery.

- ## 1. Read and Summarize Dependencies
- We will leverage existing modules; key points from their READMEs:
- - **@push.rocks/smartproxy**: high-performance HTTP/HTTPS reverse proxy,
-   TLS termination, ACME HTTP-01, WebSockets, low-level port forwarding (nftables),
-   TCP/SNI proxy with dynamic routing and IP filtering.
- - **@push.rocks/smartmail**: unified mail data structures and utilities.
- - **mailparser**: parse raw SMTP messages into structured objects.
- - **mailauth**: SPF/DKIM/DMARC validation and signing (DKIM).
- - **@api.global/typedserver** / **typedsocket**: typed HTTP and TCP server abstractions.
- - **@push.rocks/smartrule**: rule engine for dynamic decision-making on traffic.
- - **@push.rocks/smartdns**: DNS resolution and caching for routing decisions.
- - **@push.rocks/smartdata**: persistent key/value or document store for configs.
- - **@push.rocks/smartlog** and **@push.rocks/smartrx**: logging and metrics/event tracking.
- - **@push.rocks/qenv**: environment-based configuration loading.
- - **ts/mta**: built-in MTA implementation (MtaService, SMTPServer, EmailSendJob, DKIMCreator/Verifier, DNSManager, ApiManager, Email class).
+## 0. Configuration Approaches

- ## 2. High-Level Architecture
- DcRouter will instantiate and coordinate:
- 1. **HTTP(S) Proxy Layer**
-    - Use `NetworkProxy` and `Port80Handler` from smartproxy
-    - Manage virtual hosts, certificates, redirects
- 2. **TCP/SNI Proxy Layer (SmartProxy)**
-    - Use `SmartProxy` from `@push.rocks/smartproxy` to:
-      - Forward TCP connections by port or port ranges to backends (nftables-like port forwarding).
-      - Route TLS connections based on SNI to different target IPs/ports (SNI bridge).
-      - Integrate HTTP reverse proxy on select ports via `NetworkProxyBridge`.
-      - Manage ACME certificates with built-in `Port80Handler` and `CertProvisioner`.
-      - Apply IP filtering, connection rate limiting, timeouts, and detailed logging.
- 3. **SMTP/MTA Layer**
-    - Leverage `MtaService` from `ts/mta`, coordinating subcomponents:
-      - `SMTPServer` (classes.smtpserver): SMTP listener on ports 25/587 with STARTTLS/TLS
-      - `Email` and `EmailSendJob`: queue-based outbound sending with retries and rate limiting
-      - `DKIMCreator` / `DKIMVerifier`: automatic key management, signing, and verification
-      - `DNSManager`: generate and update DNS records for DKIM/SPF/MTA
-      - `ApiManager`: certificate provisioning and renewal via typedrequest/typedsocket
-    - Integrate inbound processing (mailparser, SPF/DKIM validation) and routing rules
- 4. **Rule Engine**
-    - Use smartrule to define routing rules for HTTP domains and mail addresses
-    - Support wildcard matching, priority, and dynamic updates
- 5. **DNS Integration**
-    - Use smartdns to resolve backend targets by name, with caching
- 6. **Persistence & Config**
-    - Load environment config via qenv
-    - Store dynamic state (rules, domains, MTA settings) in smartdata
- 7. **Logging & Metrics**
-    - Instrument all layers with smartlog and smartrx
- 8. **Management API / CLI**
-    - Expose REST/CLI commands via typedserver for: add/remove domains, rules,
-      view status, reload config, etc.

+```typescript
+interface IDcRouterOptions {
+  // Direct SmartProxy configuration for general HTTP/HTTPS and TCP/SNI traffic
+  smartProxyConfig?: plugins.smartproxy.ISmartProxyOptions;
+  
+  // SMTP-specific configurations - can be used alongside smartProxyConfig
+  // SMTP Store-and-forward configuration for advanced email processing
+  smtpConfig?: ISmtpConfig;
+  
+  // Other DcRouter options...
+}
+```

- ## 4. Next Steps
- 1. Review and refine this plan.
- 2. Begin implementation starting with the core scaffolding (A).
- 3. Iterate through features in milestone order.
+This approach allows direct configuration of SmartProxy's powerful domain-based routing, giving full control over HTTP/HTTPS and SNI-based traffic:

- _Last updated: 2025-05-04_
+```typescript
+const dcRouter = new DcRouter({
+  // Direct SmartProxy configuration for HTTP/HTTPS traffic
+  smartProxyConfig: {
+    fromPort: 443,
+    toPort: 8080,
+    targetIP: '10.0.0.10',
+    sniEnabled: true,
+    acme: {
+      port: 80,
+      enabled: true,
+      autoRenew: true,
+      useProduction: true,
+      renewThresholdDays: 30,
+      accountEmail: 'admin@example.com'
+    },
+    globalPortRanges: [
+      { from: 80, to: 80 },
+      { from: 443, to: 443 }
+    ],
+    
+    // SmartProxy's full domain configuration flexibility
+    domainConfigs: [
+      {
+        domains: ['example.com', 'www.example.com'],
+        allowedIPs: ['0.0.0.0/0'],
+        blockedIPs: ['1.2.3.4/32'],
+        targetIPs: ['10.0.0.10', '10.0.0.11'],
+        portRanges: [
+          { from: 80, to: 80 },
+          { from: 443, to: 443 }
+        ],
+        connectionTimeout: 60000,
+        useNetworkProxy: true
+      },
+      // Additional domain configurations...
+    ],
+    
+    // Additional SmartProxy options...
+  },
+  
+  // Email-specific configuration (complementary to smartProxyConfig)
+  smtpConfig: {
+    // Email handling configuration...
+  },
+  
+  // Other DcRouter configuration...
+}
+```
