pymap-admin 0.5.0

Admin tool for running pymap instances.

pymap-admin

The pymap-admin tool can be used to perform various admin functions against a running pymap server. This is a separate grpc service using grpclib listening on a socket.

API Documentation

Connections

By default, the pymap-admin command will attempt to interact with a pymap admin server over a UNIX socket, typically in /tmp/pymap/pymap-adin.sock. See the pymap-admin --help commands for other connection options, depending on how the pymap admin service is configured.

Most requests are authenticated using macaroon tokens. Tokens are read from ~/.pymaprc, $PYMAP_ADMIN_TOKEN, or the --token parameter.

Commands

API Documentation

login Command

Sends login credentials and gets a bearer token.

$ pymap-admin login -is [e-mail]
[e-mail] Password:
result {
  response: ". OK Login completed."
}
bearer_token: "MDAwZWxvY2F0aW9uIAowMDMwaWRlbnRpZmllciA0ZmM4MD..."

The -s flag causes the resulting token to be saved to the ~/.pymaprc config file.

ping Command

Pings the running server and reports its version string.

$ pymap-admin ping
server_version: "0.14.1"

append Command

To append a message directly to a mailbox, without using IMAP, use the append admin command. First, check out the help:

$ pymap-admin append --help

As a basic example, you can append a message to a like this:

$ cat <<EOF | pymap-admin append demouser
> From: [e-mail]
>
> test message!
> EOF
mailbox: "INBOX"
validity: 1784302999
uid: 101

2.0.0 Message delivered

User Commands

These commands access and manipulate the users on the system:

$ pymap-admin set-user --help
$ pymap-admin get-user --help
$ pymap-admin delete-user --help

Passing a username to get-user will display that user's metadata, including the (securely hashed) password string. A username can be deleted with delete-user. The set-user command will create and update a username and its password.

If using pymap as part of the slimta-docker configuration, see its Address Management documentation for additional options.
