Dewmail will receive emails on behalf of your domain and initiate a JSON encoded POST request to your API. Let's look at a specific example to cover some of the implementation details.
First, create the following MX records for your domain example.com
| Type | Subdomain | Mailserver Host | Pref | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MX | api | in1.dewmail.org. | 10 | 300 |
| MX | api | in2.dewmail.org. | 20 | 300 |
You may then send an email from any client--for example, consider the following message.
Dewmail will receive and parse your email generating the following JSON request {"from":"client@example.org","to":"foo+bar@api.example.com","subject":"mail","body":"unsubscribe"} , which it will submit to http://api.example.com/foo/bar. Your API can then parse the message however you see fit.
