# Email gateway
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Odoo mail gateway allows you to inject directly all the received emails in Odoo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Its principle is straightforward: your SMTP server executes the "mailgate" script for every new
|
||
|
|
incoming email.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The script takes care of connecting to your Odoo database through XML-RPC, and send the emails via
|
||
|
|
the `MailThread.message_process()` feature.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Prerequisites

||

|

|
<email-inbound-custom-domain-incoming-server>`.
