email accounts
InterDiode allows configuring an email account whose messages will be fetched regularly and can be forwarded to the internal mail server. This way, it is possible to receive messages from the outside on the internal network.
Creation
Usage
Only one receiving email account can be configured at a time, by providing the login credentials. However, multiple forwarding rules are possible, allowing to determine the internal recipient from different elements. The following rules are available to transfer every mail: - to the same internal recipient, - to the internal recipient whose internet address matches the originating address, - to the internal recipient whose internet username is given between a ‘+’ and the ‘@’ of the originating address, - looks for a [fwd=>USERNAME<] pattern in the subject and transfer to the internal recipient whose internet username matches this pattern.
Updating data
By default, data update must be triggered manually and the retrieved data will be automatically transferred to the internal network at the end of this synchronization. In the settings panel, it is also possible to schedule this synchronization to be triggered automatically. The synchronization can be scheduled from every minute to once a year, including very fine-grained control to choose precisely at which minute or hour this synchronization will be triggered.
Note
Each worker can only process one synchronization at a time. If many projects need to be synchronized frequently, the number of workers must be adapted accordingly.
Access Control
Several permission levels are available and can be assigned to users individually or by groups. The accesses granted by default to anonymous or simply authenticated users can also be selected.
no access: has no access at all..
access: can see this account and how to use it..
reader: can see all received and forwarded mails..
admin: can change settings and access controls..
Only local administrators can change access controls, and default permissions for anonymous and simply authenticated users are transferred to the red side only during the first synchronization.
User preferences
Each user can set their own preferences, like pining it as a favorite source or creating a authentication token specific to it.
Resolve transfer issues
If a problem occurred during a transfer and both sides are out of sync, it is possible to force a resynchronization by sending all or part of the data again.
Deletion
If you want to delete this source, you must delete on both sides, starting with the black side to avoid any risk of data transfer to the red side after deletion. Once deleted, the source will no longer be available, and the related data will be removed during background cleanup tasks.
Propositions
A user with the appropriate permission can make a proposition, which must be validated by an administrator.
