README

A basic SMTP server for recieving emails using Laravel.

THIS PACKAGE IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

Notice

This package includes modified source code from Christian Mayer. Specifically the packages thefox/network and thefox/smtpd. Both are released under the GNU General Public License version 3.

Usage

Install the package using composer with the following command:

composer require aaronschmied/laravel-smtpd

If you're running Laravel 5.5 or later, the service provider is automatically discovered. Otherwise add the following provider to your apps providers in app.php:

  'providers' => [
    ...
    
    \Smtpd\Providers\SmtpdServiceProvider::class,
  ],

Publish the config file using the command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Smtpd\Providers\SmtpdServiceProvider"

This creates the smtpd.php file in your config directory.

Configuration

interface & port

By default the server listens on any interface (0.0.0.0) on port 25.

hostname

Define the hostname for the server. In production mode this should be the FQDN of your server.

auth

Contains the configuration options for the authentication.

handler

The handler class checks if the username / password combination submitted from the client is valid.

You can provide your own handler here by extending the base handler class Smtpd\Auth\Handler.

If left blank, a guard handler is created using the configured guard:

guard

The guard is only used if the handler is left blank.

The package comes with an integrated smtp guard driver. To use this driver, edit your auth.php config file and add the guard config as follows:

'guards' => [
    ...
    'smtp' => [
        'driver' => 'smtp',
        'username_field' => 'email',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],
],

The provider can be any user provider defined in your config. In this example, the default eloquent user provider is configured, with the email field as the smtp username.

authorize_recipients

This handler checks if a user can send a message to a given recipient.

By default, all recipients are allowed using the Smtpd\Auth\AuthorizeAllRecipients::class class.

If you only want authenticated users to be able to send messages, create a new handler implementing the Smtpd\Contracts\AuthorizesRecipients interface.

context_options

Here you can define additional options for the socket.

By default the socket is configured with the option to provide a self signed certificate for connections using tls encryption with STARTTLS.

You can find more information about the options here.

Recieving a message

To recieve a message and handle it from there, create an event listener for the Smtpd\Events\MessageRecieved event.

The event contains the user (if authenticated) as well as the Smtpd\Message object.

The Smtpd\Message can also create a Mailable object using the makeMailable() method.

Starting the listener

using the command line

To start listening for incoming connections, run the following command:

php artisan smtpd:listen

using the server manager

You can also start the server by using the Smtpd\ServerManager class from the dependency container.

resolve(Smtpd\ServerManager::class)
    ->run();

From here you can save the message to your database, send it to another server using the laravel mailer or just ignore it... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
