smtp-relay v1.2.2
smtp-relay
This project replace a previous project aws-smtp-relay
The goal is to have a dynamic SMTP server that can either be used to run a debug SMTP locally that just store received email in a folder
Or relay a SMTP protocol to an SES API call (goal of aws-smtp-relay
)
Or simulate some Incoming capabilities of AWS SES, like mail2s3
or mail2sqs
and similar mail2gcpstorage
and mail2gcppubsub
Quick Start
Replace aws-smtp-relay
Docker command
docker run -p 10025:10025 loopingz/smtp-relay:latest configs/aws-smtp-relay.jsonc
Configuration file can leverage the published schema
{
"$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/loopingz/smtp-relay/main/config.schema.json"
}
Replace main
in url by the tag version to get the configuration format of a specific version
Run with a configuration file:
// Replace my previous project aws-smtp-relay
{
"$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/loopingz/smtp-relay/main/config.schema.json",
"flows": {
"localhost": {
"filters": [
// Allow any ip to use the SMTP
{
"type": "whitelist",
"ips": ["regexp:.*"]
}
],
"outputs": [
{
"type": "aws",
// Send it to SES
"ses": {}
}
]
}
},
"options": {
"disableReverseLookup": false,
// Do not require auth
"authOptional": true,
"loggers": [
{
"level": "INFO",
"type": "CONSOLE"
},
{
"level": "INFO",
"type": "FILE",
"filepath": "./smtp.log"
}
]
}
}
SMTP 2 GCP Storage
{
"flows": {
"localhost": {
"filters": [
// Allow any ip to use the SMTP
{
"type": "whitelist",
"to": ["regexp:.*@mydomain.com"]
}
],
"outputs": [
{
"type": "gcp",
// Store it in the bucket
"path": "gs://myemail/",
// Send a message to the queue containing the bucket url if exist and the metadata of the email
"pubsub": ""
}
]
}
},
"options": {
"disableReverseLookup": false,
// Do not require auth
"authOptional": true
}
}
Run it locally for dev
You can just leveraging the Docker image
docker run -p 10025:10025 -v `pwd`/emails:/smtp-relay/received_emails loopingz/smtp-relay:latest ./configs/fake-smtp.jsonc
# With auth
docker run -e SMTP_USERNAME=test -e SMTP_PASSWORD=plain:test -p 10025:10025 -v `pwd`/emails:/smtp-relay/received-emails loopingz/smtp-relay:latest configs/fake-smtp-with-auth.jsonc
Concepts
The smtp server is subdivided with:
- Filters
- Core
- Processors
- Flows
Filters
These components decide to accept or refuse an email.
At each SMTP command step, they can make a decision to refuse or accept an email or not make a decision boolean|undefined
By default, 3 filters exist:
- whitelist: allow emails based on regexp or exact values
- http-auth: proxy the decision on the email to an HTTP endpoint
- static-auth: staticly defined user/password for authentication
Processors
These components receive the email sent after it was accepted by the filters.
There is 4 types:
- aws:
- gcp:
- file:
- mailer:
Flows
A flow is defined within the configuration, it defines the filters and the outputs to apply if the message match the filters
You can have as many flow as you desire within the SMTP server
Core
Manage the coordination of different component and is in charge of capturing the mail stream
Common variables available for replacements
iso8601: date and time in YYYYmmddHHiiss format
timestamp: UNIX timestamp
id: Session id
The following variables are not always available but should be within processors
from: Email of the sender
messageId: Message id
subject: subject of the email
to: list of recipient comma separated
Logs
You can define log configuration with the loggers definition.
We currently support "CONSOLE" or "FILE"
"loggers": [
{
"level": "INFO",
"type": "CONSOLE"
},
{
"level": "INFO",
"type": "FILE",
"filepath": "./smtp.log",
"sizeLimit": 50000000
}
]
From the library @webda/workout
, the loglevel if not defined fallback to the LOG_LEVEL
environment variable and then fallback again to INFO
The FILE
type have a size limit defined and will increment a number at the end of the filepath if needed. It has a default sizeLimit define by the library.
A format
can be defined too
By default the loggers are defined as a single CONSOLE
logger. You can disable completely by adding a loggers: []
property
