# frozen_string_literal: true module ActionMailbox # Ingests inbound emails relayed from Postfix. # # Authenticates requests using HTTP basic access authentication. The username is always +actionmailbox+, and the # password is read from the application's encrypted credentials or an environment variable. See the Usage section below. # # Note that basic authentication is insecure over unencrypted HTTP. An attacker that intercepts cleartext requests to # the Postfix ingress can learn its password. You should only use the Postfix ingress over HTTPS. # # Returns: # # - 204 No Content if an inbound email is successfully recorded and enqueued for routing to the appropriate mailbox # - 401 Unauthorized if the request could not be authenticated # - 404 Not Found if Action Mailbox is not configured to accept inbound emails from Postfix # - 415 Unsupported Media Type if the request does not contain an RFC 822 message # - 500 Server Error if the ingress password is not configured, or if one of the Active Record database, # the Active Storage service, or the Active Job backend is misconfigured or unavailable # # == Usage # # 1. Tell Action Mailbox to accept emails from Postfix: # # # config/environments/production.rb # config.action_mailbox.ingress = :postfix # # 2. Generate a strong password that Action Mailbox can use to authenticate requests to the Postfix ingress. # # Use rails credentials:edit to add the password to your application's encrypted credentials under # +action_mailbox.ingress_password+, where Action Mailbox will automatically find it: # # action_mailbox: # ingress_password: ... # # Alternatively, provide the password in the +RAILS_INBOUND_EMAIL_PASSWORD+ environment variable. # # 3. {Configure Postfix}[https://serverfault.com/questions/258469/how-to-configure-postfix-to-pipe-all-incoming-email-to-a-script] # to pipe inbound emails to bin/rails action_mailbox:ingress:postfix, providing the +URL+ of the Postfix # ingress and the +INGRESS_PASSWORD+ you previously generated. # # If your application lived at https://example.com, the full command would look like this: # # URL=https://example.com/rails/action_mailbox/postfix/inbound_emails INGRESS_PASSWORD=... bin/rails action_mailbox:ingress:postfix class Ingresses::Postfix::InboundEmailsController < ActionMailbox::BaseController before_action :authenticate_by_password, :require_valid_rfc822_message def create ActionMailbox::InboundEmail.create_and_extract_message_id! request.body.read end private def require_valid_rfc822_message unless request.content_type == "message/rfc822" head :unsupported_media_type end end end end
