A stupidly simple to use temporary mail host with an easy to use JSON/WS API Yes, there are hundreds of these. It's just fun to learn new things

• A simple web UI where you can generate a temp mail.
• An easy to use Websocket/HTTP API so you can integrate it into your own stuff.

The website will be hosted on https://tmpx.email and the domain that's for receiving mail will be @tmpx.sa.com.

It'll be straight forward:

• Express for an API you can interact with.
• Socket.io for the Websockets so the front-end doesn't have to refresh.
• An IMAP server, this stores all the mail. Why use a DB when we can just use IMAP for now.
• imap-simple to interact with the IMAP server.

• A solid IMAP server that has a high uptime
• A VPS with Node.js installed
• A catch-all email address

• Setup a backend that can stream imap to the right places
• An endpoint that will fetch recent mail from the IMAP server
• A CRON that will clear the main inbox after a certain amount of time
• Download to PDF
• Forward mail to your own places, like a proxy
• Connect your own domain, you'll probably have to set something up that it arrives at our inbox.
• Storing everything to a faster database than IMAP as soon as the mail arrives & then remove it from the mailbox to leave no traces on the place it arrived at.
• Queuing queries so the IMAP server doesn't get flooded with useless queries.
• Ratelimitting based off the email address AND ip that the requests comes from.
• Automatically reconnect when the IMAP connection drops

The base for the JSON-API is https://json.tmpx.email, it currently hosts the @tmpx.sa.com domain.

• Find all mails for a certain email emailAddress

• Pong!
• Checks if the IMAP server is connected

The IMAP server will be hosted by LNGZL which is my software development agency aka it's sponsored by myself 🎉

If you're interested in donating a domain to the tmpx platform, first of all that's awesome!
