Easy Forward User to User Emails with masked Email Adresses
Some Apps allow User to User communication via Email (example LinkedIn). These App creates virtual Email Addresses to hide the original Email Address, either for the purpose of privacy or for intersecting the communication via store() or forward() routes, either to save the conversation in the system or simply to forward the email to the real address.
Where this works great for Emails without attachments, we could save some expensive roundtrips with emails that have attachments.
In that case all attachments have to be downloaded first to the App Server and then send to mailgun again, although mailgun has these attachments already in their store!
This kind of forwarding works already for a fixed email addresses via forward('myEmail') but if you have thousands of users that communicate between each other thats not an option.
Not sure what the best way is, but it would be great if i could define a store() or forward route that just picks up the new email from an Endpoint of the App.
I could even imagine to use store('notify=ENDPOINT') for this and if the Endpoint returns a new email the stored email will be immediately forwarded. The End point could even send a modified subject and email body.
the main point is that the attachment doesn't have to be downloaded.
