More about MailCare

MailCare

This is an open source disposable email address service that was built and maintained at mailcare.io.

Installation

Prerequisites

To run this project, you must have PHP 7 installed and php-mailparse extension.
Port 25 should be open from any IP address
You should setup a host on your web server for your domain.

Step 1

Begin by cloning this repository to your machine, and installing all Composer & NPM dependencies.

git clone git@gitlab.com:mailcare/mailcare.git
cd mailcare && composer install && npm install
php artisan mailcare:install

Step 2

Next, configure your mail transfer agent (MTA) to catch all emails and route them to the php application mailcare. See bellow an example with Postfix that I personnally use.

sudo php artisan mailcare:configure-postfix /etc/postfix example.org forge

This script does 2 configurations

/etc/postfix/main.cf

Replace the line myhostname = * by myhostname = example.org Add one new line smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination for security purposes. Add one new line local_recipient_maps = to accept any mailbox under the domain myhostname

/etc/postfix/master.cf

Add one new line mailcare unix - n n - - pipe flags=F user=forge argv=php /home/forge/example.org/artisan mailcare:email-receive to create a new hook named mailcare Replace the line smtp inet * by smtp inet n - - - - smtpd -o content_filter=mailcare:dummy to call this new hook each time you receive an email

and reload Postfix.
