Flectra email gateway
=====================
The Flectra mail gateway allows you to inject directly all the received emails in Flectra.
Its principle is straightforward: your SMTP server executes the "mailgate" script for every new incoming email.
The script takes care of connecting to your Flectra database through XML-RPC, and send the emails via
the `MailThread.message_process()` feature.
Prerequisites
-------------
- Administrator access to the Flectra database.
- Your own mail server such as Postfix or Exim.
- Technical knowledge on how to configure an email server.
For Postfix
-----------
In you alias config (:file:`/etc/aliases`):
.. code-block:: text
email@address: "|/flectra-directory/addons/mail/static/scripts/flectra-mailgate.py -d <database-name> -u <userid> -p <password>"
.. note::
Resources
- `Postfix <http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html>`_
