Mailu: Feature: webhooks to forward emails to REST APIs

[binaryfire]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to integrate incoming mail with a webapp and would love the ability to forward each inbox to a webhook. Like this: https://improvmx.com/guides/how-to-use-webhooks-to-receive-emails-in-your-apps/

Do you think this is something you could add? A lot of emails integration is going in this diretion nowadays and it would add a lot of power to Mailu. There are a few projects that could be useful for this: https://github.com/search?q=smtp+webhook

CLI commands to create / delete webhooks would be good (for those of us scripting everything)

Thanks for the suggestion. If there is popular demand, it might be picked up, but don't expect something soon. We have huge backlog of feature requests and limited resources to implement them.

If more people would want this and you want to speed up the process, consider to implement it and send a PR. Alternatively, consider sponsoring.

Meanwhile you could use the improvmx product or similar and setup Mailu to forward mails to that service. We currently provide the following options:

• _Relayed domains_ forwards a complete domain to a remote SMTP host.
• User based _Auto forward_ forwards e-mail to an address, optionally keeping a copy.

Hi There,

The Mailu-Project is currently in a bit of a bind! We are short on man-power, and we need to judge if it is possible for us to put in some work on this issue.

To help with that, we are currently trying to find out which issues are actively keeping users from using Mailu, which issues have someone who want to work on them — and which issues may be less important. These a less important ones could be discarded for the time being, until the project is in a more stable and regular state once again.

In order for us to better assess this, it would be helpful if you could put a reaction on this post (use the :smiley: icon to the top-right).

• 👍️ if you need this to be able to use Mailu. Ideally, you’d also be able to test this on your installation, and provide feedback …
• 🎉 if you find it a nice bonus, but no deal-breaker
• 🚀 if you want to work on it yourself!
  We want to keep this voting open for 2 weeks from now, so please help out!
