ForwardEmail Send Email

A simple script to send email using ForwardEmail's API

ForwardEmail requires that the sending alias exists (catch-all aliases don't count), so this script will do the following if the sending alias does not exist:

• Read all aliases for the domain, and check for a catch-all rule
• If a catch-all rule exists, create the named sending alias with the same forwarding settings as the catch-all alias
• Send the email agian
• Delete the sending alias

If a catch-all rule does not exist for the sending domain, the program will exit without sending an email.

Requirements

• python3
• see requirements.txt
