# Ingests inbound emails relayed from Postfix.
#
# Authenticates requests using HTTP basic access authentication. The username is always +actionmailbox+, and the
# password is read from the application's encrypted credentials or an environment variable. See the Usage section below.
#
# Note that basic authentication is insecure over unencrypted HTTP. An attacker that intercepts cleartext requests to
# the Postfix ingress can learn its password. You should only use the Postfix ingress over HTTPS.
#
# Returns:
#
# - 204 No Content if an inbound email is successfully recorded and enqueued for routing to the appropriate mailbox
# - 401 Unauthorized if the request could not be authenticated
# - 404 Not Found if Action Mailbox is not configured to accept inbound emails from Postfix
# - 415 Unsupported Media Type if the request does not contain an RFC 822 message
# - 500 Server Error if the ingress password is not configured, or if one of the Active Record database,
# the Active Storage service, or the Active Job backend is misconfigured or unavailable
#
# == Usage
#
# 1. Tell Action Mailbox to accept emails from Postfix:
#
# # config/environments/production.rb
# config.action_mailbox.ingress = :postfix
#
# 2. Generate a strong password that Action Mailbox can use to authenticate requests to the Postfix ingress.
#
# Use rails credentials:edit to add the password to your application's encrypted credentials under
# +action_mailbox.ingress_password+, where Action Mailbox will automatically find it:
#
# action_mailbox:
# ingress_password: ...
#
# Alternatively, provide the password in the +RAILS_INBOUND_EMAIL_PASSWORD+ environment variable.
#
# 3. {Configure Postfix}{https://serverfault.com/questions/258469/how-to-configure-postfix-to-pipe-all-incoming-email-to-a-script}
# to pipe inbound emails to bin/rails action_mailbox:ingress:postfix, providing the +URL+ of the Postfix
# ingress and the +INGRESS_PASSWORD+ you previously generated.
#
# If your application lived at https://example.com, the full command would look like this:
#
# URL=https://example.com/rails/action_mailbox/postfix/inbound_emails INGRESS_PASSWORD=... bin/rails action_mailbox:ingress:postfix
