- changed status to open
This may be against the spirit of your project, but my current use-case is as follows:
- 60 kids in 3 school classes want an email account
- they will mostly email each other, and rarely someone in the outside world
- emails to and from the outside world need to be moderated by a teacher
- I'm going to use the mailgun mail API to manage incoming mail
Django-postman does 90% of what I want — we just need to be able to allow Users to send a Message to an external person. Ideally this would be seamless (i.e. use the same forms).
Would you be open to implementing this, or accepting a pull-request which did it? If so, do you have any thoughts on how it might best be implemented?
The app is firstly designed as an exchange tool between Users. The opening to external emails is for visitors to initiate a request to a User. The reverse way, a spontaneous User to External (not even a visitor) message is not an objective. Furthermore the sender is the site, so the recipient won't be able to reply. You may achieve the purpose by a 2-step workaround (somewhat tricky I admit) : a) while not logged, the person writes to himself as a visitor, just to initiate the conversation and register the email address ; b) once logged, the person does a reply. Note that the usual templates used for the subject/body may seem a little odd in that case.
