So, one answer to my problem is just to set up a copy of sendmail with
local delivery to an IPFS file. But, that leads me to wonder if anybody
is offering mail-gateways as a service - be they free gateways or paid?
Isn't that everyone who also offers sending email as a service?
Amazon SES allows receiving mail and publishing it on an SNS topic. Some
worker could fetch it from there and store it somewhere else.
Ahh... that's good to know
I get the impression that OP is looking for pre-existing work around
interfacing IPFS and SMTP, but the problem here is that we know about
SMTP and not IPFS.
IPFS being far and away the more niche topic, I think OP would be better
off asking these questions in the IPFS community.
Personally speaking my only exposure to IPFS is receiving phishing mails
with links to ipfs.io…
Oh.. I have.. the thing is that the folks there are rather ignorant
about Mail (And DNS) infrastructure. There don't seem to be a lot of
folks who understand both.
But... in fairness.. I do have to say that the folks developing for IPFS
seem to have some serious technical chops, and their approach to
organizing backbone services as community governed DAOs (Distributed
Autonomous Organizations), seems to be working pretty well. Basically a
step beyond the IETF, ICANN, and the Apache Software Foundation, and the
Free Software Foundation. Both the infrastructure and the ecosystem are
rather impressive. (This from someone who's a bit of a student of
governance models - back to the days that I wrote the Network Management
Architecture for the Defense Data Network, and played in the Military
Simulation & Open Mapping Communities).
Thanks Again,
Folks
