This is a simple integration of mailcow aliases and the mailbox name into mailpiler when using IMAP authentication. A guide can be found in the official mailcow docs here.
Tested combinations:
piler version | PHP versions | Notes |
---|---|---|
1.3.9 | 7.4 | Working, but domain wildcards are not yet implemented. |
1.3.10 | 7.4 | None |
1.4.1/1.4.2 | 7.4, 8.1 | None |
Future | n/a | Future versions might work, but not tested. |
mailpiler offers the authentication based on IMAP:
$config['ENABLE_IMAP_AUTH'] = 1;
$config['IMAP_HOST'] = 'mail.example.com';
$config['IMAP_PORT'] = 993;
$config['IMAP_SSL'] = true;
So when you log in using patrik@example.com
, you will only see delivered emails sent from or to this specific email address. When additional aliases are defined in mailcow, like team@example.com
, you won't see emails sent from or to this email even the fact you're a recipient of mails sent to this alias.
With hooking into the authentication process of mailpiler this fires API requests to the mailcow API (requiring read-only API access) to read out the aliases your email address participates. Beside that, it will also read the "Name" of the mailbox specified to display it on the top-right of mailpiler after login.
