Well known addresses

Joshua Thijssen edited this page Jul 6, 2020 · 5 revisions

We should have a few well-known addresses to exist for users.

  • example!: An example user. All mail sent to this address will be directly deleted. Useful for examples, code snippets, demos, etc
  • you@example!: An example user at an example organization. All mail sent to this address will be directly deleted. Useful for examples, code snippets, demos, etc.
  • hello@bitmaelum!: This will send back an email with a hello response. Useful for testing connectivity and accounts.
  • email-gateway@bitmaelum!: This is the sender for emails that are send to the BitMaleum gateway (see below)

Email to BitMaelum gateway

It would be nice if we could send from an email address to a BitMaelum address.

   [sha256]@bitmaelum.com

When sending an email to this email address, it will convert the email message to the given bitMealum address and will use email-gateway@bitmaelum! as the sender. Note that email from here is NOT secured end-to-end!

There is no BitMaelum to Email functionality, as BitMaelum is end-to-end encrypted. We would not know how to encrypt the actual email recipient.
