Brick

This package is a Rust implementation of a webserver that takes a POST from an arbitrary webform and, based on the URL parameters, forwards it as an email to an email address or alias.

It is named as such because this service is, more or less intentionally, dumb as a brick.

There are a lot of TODOs left. Like having a real config, and handling the second type of form POSTs. See src/main.rs. Someday this package may be reusable and useful. Till then, this is my first time writing anything in Rust, or any systems language for that matter. <3

To run

Modify MY_DOMAIN in main.rs to whatever your mail domain name is.

$ cargo run

Check the server is running by visiting localhost:3000 in your web browser, or via curl.

Run the below, only swapping /contact for whatever local part mailbox you want the mail to go to. So if your domain was awesome.horse, CURLing /sales will email sales@awesome.horse.

$ curl -X POST -d '' "http://localhost:3000/sales?first_name=Jane&last_name=Sagan&email=jane%40testing.com&org_name=&org_size=&title=&comment=This%20is%20a%20test"

You should see a "Email sent successfully" message in the window running brick, and an email should soon arrive at sales@awesome.horse.
