Paid implementation consulting

[philkunz]

Is there any form of paid implementation consulting available from the devs?
Would be cool since it is hard to find freelancers that have expert knowledge with Haraka.

Yes, subject to our availability and interest. Describe what you want developed.

Thank you :) I sent you a contact request on LinkedIn for DMs.
Our intention is basically to to write a downstream npm package that simplifies DKIM etc. when having access to Cloudflare or similar DNS api, to enable super easy signed email sending without much config, basically with the easiness like mailgun, but for free.

Good thing you mentioned that, I log onto LinkedIn about once every 2 years.

I like this idea. Does a workflow like this sound about right?

1. Haraka prepares to send an outbound message.
2. If the DKIM private key already exists, it signs and sends
3. The DKIM private key didn't exist, so:
   a. generate DKIM public and private keys
   b. publish DKIM public key to DNS
   c. install DKIM private key for Haraka
4. DKIM sign the message and send it

Yes, about that, correct :)

WOuld be perfect if the API looked something like this

import { EasyHaraka } from 'easy-haraka';

const easyHarakaInstance = new EasyHaraka({
    hostname: 'myharaka.mydomain.com'
    dnsCredentials: {
        cloudflareToken: 'mycloudflaretoken'
    },
    dkim: true,
    dmarc: true,
    storage: {
       mongoConnectionString: 'myMongoConnectionStringHere'
    }
});

/**
 * go to dns provider, check if zone exists for domain,
 * if yes, set up mail reception under the provided domain above
 */
easyHaraka.ensureReceptionFor('mail.mydomain.com').subscribe(async newMail => {
    // do something with new mail here.
})

/**
 * set up spf for a domain routed through google workspace
 */
easyHaraka.setUpSpf({
    domain: 'myworkspacedomain.com'
}).then(() => console.log('set up spf'))

/**
 * send mails, and set up dkim and dmarc automatically, if not yet present
 */
easyHaraka.sendMail({
    from: '[email protected]',
    to:: '[email protected]',
    htmlBody: '<h1>Hello there</h1>' 
}).then(() => console.log('sent mail!'))
