Mailscript templates: shared address for team

You can use this template to setup shared access to an address you control. Addresses use scoped keys (read/write) to be able to listen in to incoming messages and send messages from such address. By setting up redirects from an address an providing a write-scoped key to your peers you can easily setup a shared address.

Manual setup

Claim an address on your username's subdomain:

mailscript addresses:add --address shared@<username>.mailscript.com

Set forwards to external (existing) addresses (you'll have to verify ownership of such addresses):

mailscript actions:add \
  --name forward-to-alice \
  --forward [email protected] \
  --from shared@<username>.mailscript.com

mailscript actions:add \
  --name forward-to-jane \
  --forward [email protected] \
  --from shared@<username>.mailscript.com

mailscript actions:add \
  --name forward-to-brigit \
  --forward [email protected] \
  --from shared@<username>.mailscript.com

mailscript actions:combine \
  --name forward-to-team \
  --action forward-to-alice \
  --action forward-to-jane \
  --action forward-to-brigit

Setup a workflow to redirecting incoming emails at shared@<username>.mailscript.com to your team:

mailscript workflows:add \
  --name "redirect to team" \
  --input shared@<username>.mailscript.com
  --action forward-to-team

Create and get write key to share with peers:

mailscript keys:add \
  --address [email protected] \
  --name "Shared write key" \
  --write

mailscript keys:list --address [email protected]

SMTP out configuration

Keys with write scope can be used as passwords for sending messages via Mailscript's smtp gateway. The following configuration parameters are needed to setup a Gmail client to be able to "send as" from a Mailscript address:

host: smtp.mailscript.com
port: 465
user: [email protected]
pass: key-with-write-scope
