Email to Post

ADVANCE NOTICE

The module is not yet available. It is in the final stages of development.

——————————————————————-

Import received emails, such as newsletters, as posts into your HumHub Spaces or HumHub profile.

IMAP connection

Users can define an IMAP connection in the account settings.
You can then select which mailbox folders you want to import emails from and in which spaces (or your own profile) you want to create the posts.

Hourly import

The import is performed hourly and all emails from the specified mailboxes are imported as posts to the specified destinations.
The number of imported emails per user and import can be limited by the administrators, see below.

Filter rules (regex)

Users can add rules to filter imported emails. Each rule applies to emails from a specific sender.

1. URL filter

URL filters make rejected URLs in HTML emails unclickable. (URL filters have no effect on plain text emails, as they don't contain clickable links anyway.) To completely remove links, you must use the general filter (see below).
You can either exclude all URLs except those that match the entered regex expression, or the other way around: all URLs are allowed except those that match the pattern.

2. General Regex Filter

Additionally, a general regex-based search & replace can be entered to filter email content.

Attachments

Attachments are retrieved from the email server and uploaded as attachments to the email post.

Group authorization

The Email-to-Post module introduces a user group permission that controls who can import emails.
By default, only the Administrator user group has this permission.

Administration settings

1. Import limit per user

Administrators can set a limit on how many emails can be imported at once per user to prevent spam.

2. General URL filters

A general URL blacklist (regex pattern) can be defined. All URLs matching this pattern will be removed.
And a regex pattern for all allowed URLs. These URLs will be accepted if the user hasn't specified a rule. If left blank, all URLs will be unclickable by default.

Regex tip

To select everything with a pattern: .* – the dot stands for any character, the asterisk for any number of repetitions of this character (including zero repetitions)

The Email to Post module always performs Regex searches regardless of case.
