Things to note:

  • email2matrix receives email messages sent from another system

  • the mailbox that a message gets delivered to (e.g. [email protected]) designates where the message will be forwarded to on the Matrix side (such mappings are defined in config.json manually)

  • email2matrix then uses the Matrix Client-Server API with a pre-created user and access token in order to send a Matrix message to a specific room (as defined in config.json)
