16:50 <Elouin> Is there some library for receiving emails? i only found libs for sending mails.

16:51 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> not that im aware of

16:57 <Elouin> Ahh, https://github.com/annwyl/crystal-lang-imap . but no update since over a year.

16:58 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> ah nice, if it was written for 1.0 probably still works

17:02 <riza> Elouin: if you've got a web service running, a decent pattern is to use a postfix plugin to act on a received email and then post it to an api endpoint

17:04 <riza> email being so notoriously overridden with bugs and exploits, it's probably worth relying on an establish project to handle the bulk of the work and just hooking the output of their stuff

19:03 <Elouin> I just want a small mailinglist application, no web service.

19:19 <riza> Elouin: makes sense. looking at the options for postfix, that might still be a nice option. https://www.postfix.org/FILTER_README.html

19:26 <Elouin> riza: but if I use IMAP to get the mails from some provider, isnt then something like that already on the server?

20:06 <riza> Elouin: oh, probably. Then you're using gmail or whatever as your mail server, sure.

20:37 <Elouin> since gmail will soon have no imap anymore not that, but yeah.

20:51 <riza> I hadn't heard that...seems like a strange move to me. But ok
