This package ensures the import of incoming emails into DMS.
Features
fetch waiting emails from IMAP mailbox
parse emails (headers, attachments, …)
generate a PDF email preview
send informations to DMS webservice
mark emails as imported
Usage
To process emails, you can execute
bin/process_mails config.ini
See config.ini file for various parameters.
For usage with Docker, it’s similar to bin/process_mails but you need to build the Docker image first
docker build -t imio.email.dms . docker run --rm imio.email.dms config.ini
Release
On each commit on this repo, Jenkins will create a new Docker image, push it on imio staging registry and restart staging instance. On each release (new tag with zest.releaser) Jenkins copy latest staging image and push it on prod registry
Errors
In case the importation process fails, the corresponding emails are marked as errors and are not taken into account anymore. An email notification is sent with the problematic email attached. To process them again, you can execute
bin/process_mails config.ini --requeue_errors
Requirements
package wkhtmltopdf
