So, one answer to my problem is just to set up a copy of sendmail with
local delivery to an IPFS file. But, that leads me to wonder if
anybody is offering mail-gateways as a service - be they free gateways
or paid?
This thread has touched on several topic that seem unrelated.
Given your Subject line and reference to gateway, I had assumed you were
asking about translating mail between two different syntactic/semantic
environment. That has nothing to do with file systems or shared access,
which seems to be where the thread went.
At the least, it might help to distinguish the what from the how. File
system is an example of how. Email 'delivery' into a file system is an
example of what.
A basic test of whether data exchange is simple email relaying -- or
posting or delivering -- or is actually gatewaying, is to look for what
information is lost in the transition.
If the two mail services really are different -- and hence need
gatewaying rather than just relaying -- some information will be lost in
one or both directions.
