Mail forwarder

[pjebs]

Email forwarder:

My aim is to have a database that maps 1 email address to another based on a database table.
eg.
A@X.com (alias) => C@D.com (real email address)
E@X.com (alias) => P@Q.com (real email address)

When the incoming mail gets received and then forwarded to the real email address, the real email address should ideally not realise that the email was forwarded. When they click reply for example, it should reply to the original sender.

I tried to implement it using Haraka a while ago but services like hotmail and gmail recognised that a email forwarding was happening and rejected the forwarded email.

I was informed by @smfreegard #1318 (comment) , that I must use SRS sender rewriting scheme for forwarding.

I found a plugin that supposedly does that:
https://github.com/swerter/haraka-plugins/blob/master/plugins/srs.js (this should be included with Haraka in my opinion)
https://gist.github.com/64kps/285ff2c3dce9d326f910

I was now wondering how to do the actual sending. Which plugin do i use? I don't understand the subtle differences in the documentation:

• relay
• queue/smtp_forward
• queue/smtp_proxy

Thanks in advance

I'm a bit confused by this:
In Outbound Mail, it says "Outbound mails are defined as those that have set the connection.relaying flag to true via a plugin".

In the "create your own disposable email server" tutorial, there is no mention of the plugin setting connection.relaying flag. Does that imply that the relay plugin IS NOT WHAT I WANT.

In that example, they change rcpt.user = match[1]; and the email magically gets sent out to the new address.
What part of the code made the email send out? Which plugin? They used test_queue in the plug in list, but if i used queue/smtp_forward or queue/smtp_proxy (I can't figure out how the subtle difference applies to me), would that forward the email?

Don't. Use nodemailer for sending emails.
