On production servers where NODE_ENV=production nodemailer wasn't getting installed.
This presents a problem as the code requires nodemailer for the /api/alive route.

nodemailer is required here in mailTester.js.

mailTester.js itself is required here.

Last but not least, you can see nodemailer is a development dependency here.

Hello,
The link for api doc is dead :

Do you have any solution to get the doc ?

thanks,

I am trying to run ahem through docker, the ahem-ssr-1 container is returning this kind of error, does anyone have an idea what I can do to solve it?

Hello,

I managed to follow your steps and install the app on a windows 7 virtual machine. I started the app with node ahem.js and opened another console to test the email functionality (response from API was already received as: {"success":true,"api":true,"smtp":true,"db":true} ) So, going further, in the new console I followed these steps:

1. Type the following command: telnet <mail server name or IP> 25
2. Type: EHLO <mail server internet name>
   Replace with your mail server's public fully qualified domain name - for instance, mail.dell.com.
3. Type: mail from: <[email protected]> and press Enter.
4. Type: rcpt to: <[email protected]> and press Enter.
5. Type: data and press Enter.
6. Type: Subject: <a subject here> and press Enter.
7. Type: This is a test message sent from telnet. and press Enter.
8. Type: . and press Enter

In the ahem.js console I can see the telnet connection, but just when finishing everything up and performing step 8, the ahem.js console crashes with this error:

`{"message":"SMTP Connect from myIpV6 ","level":"info"}
{"message":"SMTP MAIL FROM: [email protected]","level":"info"}

E:\tests\EmailServer\Ad-Hoc-Email-Server>node ahem.js`

At this point, I'm not really sure how to proceed in testing if everything works. I can see that there are some emails occasionally received from what appears to be an 'alive-test' email box, but that's pretty much it. I don't know if the emails that another app sends, reach this server and I cannot debug it as I don't have access to its logs. Sending an email from outlook won't work because the VM is not accessible from outside, but the other app is within the same network so it will be able to access it. So the only way that I thought of testing was with telnet. Any thoughts?
Looking in mongo, I see that when creating a mailbox from the AHEM UI, nothing happens in the API or in the DB (as in, the mailbox is not created per'say, but it's rather just a redirection). I suppose the mailbox will be created upon receiving the first email?

Thank you,
Feda

Kindly add heroku support

Hi,

i don't want my self hosted instance to be available to anyone but me.
I tryied adding an http auth in nginx but it keeps asking me for credentials.
Any idea?

Hi, I've configure the server as follows:

• ubuntu22.04 ec2 on aws
• started service on port 3000 and smtp port is 25, allowed origins also configured
• configured MX and A records for domain
• api server is working fine
• opened all ports on ec2 firewall

still not able to get email on mailbox , please suggest things i can check for.

Hi. I just want to alert you that the advertisers on your https://www.ahem.email/ page are showing misleading ads about virus infection.

I installed Ad-Hoc-Email-Server on my own AWS EC2 instance (Ubuntu 18.04, Nodejs v13.1.0, MongoDB, Nginx).

I also configured the SMTP port as 25 and opened 25 port on Security Groups of my EC2 instance.

And now the backend is working properly.

But when I send an email to [email protected], it doesn't receive anything.

Please guide me how I can resolve this.

Thanks,

If the server is misconfigured the mail tester causes a crash, because result is undefined.

I've noticed that a mailbox has gone missing from MongoDB but the emails which were part of the mailbox remain. Could it be that the mailbox is not taking into account the emailDeleteAge? I've set mine very high: 2592000 / 30 days.

Cheers.

Hi!

AHEM works properly only with one domain in format in docker-compose.yml

allowedDomains=domain.com

If i try use multiple domains, for example:

allowedDomains=domain1.com,domain2.com

or:

allowedDomains=["domain1.com","domain2.com"]

it doesnt work, i cant select domain.. Can anybody helps?

Hi

I followed this article and followed step by step process but still getting this error in the end

node version v11.5.0
npm version 6.7.0

we are Running AHEM on the AWS ec2 machine, Working Fine

we Have enabled Guard duty for every 2 days we are getting alerts on port 25 if probed,

Is there any way to white list the port 25? we tried with the NAT gateway but does not worked

[Previously I wrongly thought this code was from another party. The issue updated as now makes sense].

"Open source" does not mean "source available":
https://opensource.org/osd
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-available_software

The FAQ wrongly claims AHES is open source. It is not, it's just source available because open source is about the license as well and the license here is proprietary.

Hi, so I was wondering if you could consider making another version but without the frontend, just the api and the smtp server. Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for the great work.
Mails are not getting delivered when running locally.
For Example, I have created a mailbox [email protected] and sending mail to this mailbox from Gmail.
It is not working for me.

The domain www.ahem.email possibly expired and instead of the project's website bunch of malware and ads are showing. Please either re-register the domain or update the website. Thanks.

After running npm install command:

Can you please help.

Hello:)
what can be the reason for error 404 even if on ui (i mean 'https://www.ahem.email/mailbox/N4CNWF') i get the email list, but if i sent the same info(i mean emailName, Bearer token) in Postman or IDE i get. Moreover if i use your doc tool( this one -> https://www.ahem.email/help/api) with same info i also get error 404

here are screenshots for same email and token.

Hi, o4oren

I have setup the mail server and that works fine via api (api/alive)

But when I send the mail to [email protected], it doesn't work.
It returns "Your message wasn't delivered to [email protected] because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail."

Any configuration I missed?

Kindly need your help ASAP.

Thank you.

Hi there, I did all the procedures to setup AHEM with a custom domain name of me. I added the domain in the list of properties.jsoon and in the docker-compose.yml
Besides that; I pointed the domain's DNS records to the same IP as the server. however; I don't think that's enough for the app to read the mails.
I mean; the app was built on the server and the front end is working fine and I can generate a mail and it takes me to the mailbox ... however, nothing is received

so could you please make It clear of how to set up the domain to make it working said with the backend?

thanks in advance

I followed the readme, using manual install not docker.

I assume this is some sort of deprecation or whaterver. Shoul that module be already present at install step?

Hello,

As per GitHub documentation, trying to get list of mailboxes using POST API call '/api/mailbox/autocomplete'

http://mydomain.com/api/mailbox/autocomplete?prefix=test

However it doesn't give any result, response status is 200 OK. Tried to pass the param 'prefix' in all possible ways but same issue. Please can anyone guide on how to get list of mailboxes.

Thank you !

Hi,

Can you please review all your docs? It seems docs are out of date. For example, these lines are invalid:

git clone https://github.com/o4oren/ahem-server.git

cd ahem-server

Old info is present in README and also in this article: https://www.ahem.email/blog/post/how-to-set-up-your-own-disposable-email-server.

Hello,

Is there, or could there be, a programmatic API, for this server, so that it can be dynamically used by a parent script to start, receive and stop ?

Thanks

Hi, I was looking through my MongoDB instance used by AHEM and see emails are being stored even when the recipient address is not in the allowed domains list. Mailboxes are not being created. Is this the expected behavior?

It seems spammers are just looking for mail servers on random IP addresses and stumbled upon my AHEM server.

@o4oren I need SSL certificates to be configured on AHEM server side. Please can anyone help on how can I achieve this. Thanks!

Im' forrmat:
allowedDomains=["my.domain.com", "my.second-domain.com"]
but only show my.domain.com on my web
Please guide me how to use multiplie Domain

Hello,

I've been experiencing some service issues with the example app (https://www.ahem.email/) recently. Urls for mailboxes now return 404 when they didn't before (https://www.ahem.email/mailbox/testing) the app does load correctly if I type the username from the homepage but even then it intermittently fails to load emails.

Sorry to post a service issue in this code repo but I wasn't sure where best to direct it. Has this been on your radar at all?

Many thanks!

Hi

I have configured the AHEM server and below are the details of the .env file

serverBaseUri= "http://10.135.10.125:3000"
mongoConnectUrl= "mongodb://10.135.10.125:27017/"
dbName= "ahem"
appListenPort= 3000
smtpPort= 2525
emailDeleteInterval= 3600
emailDeleteAge= 86400
allowAutocomplete= true
allowedDomains= "ahem.email"
jwtSecret= "AH3M 709 S3cR3T"
jwtExpiresIn= 3600
maxAllowedApiCalls= 1000

When I open the application with the following url http://10.135.10.125:2500 it's loading the homepage.

when i sent to email ex: [email protected] from my gmail account I'm not getting the any email.
Can you please let me know is anything wrong with my settings? or do I need to add anything?

1. Setup(OK)
2. Go to the ip:port(OK)
   So, i tried to use it, it store the "tokens" but not the mailboxes(number is always to 0 in the home of the website) and when i try to send an email to [email protected] with gmail i have: 550 5.1.1 [email protected]: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table

(mydomain.com is for the example, it's not my domain)

Solved

I am struggling to understand how to fetch emails using the API. Could you provide a sample call to /api/mailbox/{mailboxName}/email?

So far I came up with the following:
HEADERS:
Authorization: Bearer ---mytoken---
url: https://www.ahem.email/api/mailbox/[email protected]/email

but it returns an error. Why?

Hello,

Not sure why I am getting this error. The docs state that jwtExpiresIn:-1 will not enforce authentication..not sure what else to do at this point.

While calling https://www.ahem.email/api/mailbox/tester123:
"error": "Error | Cannot find module 'html'"

Hi. Very useful project, thanks.

I think a webhook feature would be useful where the admin registers a URL and AHEM hits it every time a new message arrives. The body of the call could contain the mailboxName and emailId.

I wish I could do this myself but my node skills are poor, not to mention TypeScript.

Cheers!

When i make F5 on a website i get this error
{"error":"Error | Cannot find module 'html'"}
