Requirements

Getting Started

Install from PyPI

# Install email2slack
pip3 install email2slack

# Fetch configuration file from GitHub
cd /usr/local/etc/
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikoim/email2slack/master/email2slack

# Before using, You must edit config file
vim /usr/local/etc/email2slack

In this case, setuptools create script to call email2slack and place it in bin directory automatically. So you should use the script in Setup MTA section.

Install from GitHub repository

git clone https://github.com/mikoim/email2slack.git
cd email2slack

# Install dependencies
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

# Install email2slack
cp email2slack.py /usr/local/bin/email2slack.py && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/email2slack.py
cp email2slack /usr/local/etc/

# Before using, You must edit config file
vim /usr/local/etc/email2slack
