Odoo 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
|
|
-------------
|
|
- Administrator access to the Odoo database.
|
|
- Your own mail server such as Postfix or Exim.
|
|
- Technical knowledge on how to configure an email server.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
email@address: "|/odoo-directory/addons/mail/static/scripts/odoo-mailgate.py -d <database-name> -u <userid> -p <password>"
