Hello all, I’m currently rewriting an internal tool that my team uses. We do a lot of testing work for numerous clients and have the need for a large number of temporary email addresses. For each piece of work, we are likely to have multiple addresses, and they all need to end up in the same mailbox. The mailboxes are defined as part of the domain that the emails are sent to, and can be any string of characters that the tester defines when they need an address.
Some examples: These three addresses need to go to the “foo123” mailbox. test...@foo123.example.com <mailto:test...@foo123.example.com> test...@foo123.example.com <mailto:test...@foo123.example.com> test...@foo123.example.com <mailto:test...@foo123.example.com> And these need to go to the “bar456” mailbox: test...@bar456.example.com <mailto:test...@foo123.example.com> test...@bar456.example.com <mailto:test...@foo123.example.com> tester3@ <mailto:test...@foo123.example.com>bar456 <mailto:test...@foo123.example.com>.example.com <mailto:test...@foo123.example.com> I have been able to do this with postfix and dovecot by using postfix’s virtual aliases - I do a DB lookup that returns foo123 or bar456 as needed, which simultaneously creating a foo123 or bar456 user in dovecot’s DB so that the mail will be accepted. (Postfix and dovecot share a DB). For accessing the mailboxes, I have a web app which people authenticate against using SAML. That gives me their username. I check whether they are allowed access to the requested mailbox (via a DB table) and then impersonate the foo123 or bar456 dovecot user using a separate dovecot master user account (basically an account that allows impersonation). My question is: can I replicate something like the above using James? It feels like it should be possible but I would appreciate any pointers or advice before I dive too deep. (My plan is to use the JPA Docker image, but I would need to enable JMAP for my web app and change to use Postgres for the DB.) I’d also like to say that the new docs are looking great and look like they will be really, really useful once complete, so thank you to whoever’s putting in the effort with those. Thanks in advance, Felix
