Plan for Improving Smartmail Integration
Current State Analysis
The platformservice currently uses @push.rocks/smartmail version 2.0.1, primarily for email handling in:
- Email service via connector.mta.ts
- Template management
- API endpoints for sending emails
Identified Integration Improvements
1. Update smartmail to Latest Version
- Update package.json to use the latest smartmail version
- Handle any breaking API changes during the upgrade
2. Email Validation Improvements
- Implement advanced email validation using EmailAddressValidator
- Add MX record checking for outbound emails
- Integrate domain reputation checking for spam prevention
3. Template System Enhancement
- Refactor TemplateManager to leverage smartmail's templating capabilities fully
- Add support for typed email templates with proper interfaces
- Create a comprehensive template catalog with standardized formats
4. MIME Handling Improvements
- Utilize smartmail's MIME conversion capabilities in the MTA connector
- Streamline attachment handling between smartmail and internal Email class
- Handle content encoding more efficiently
5. Integration with MTA Service
- Refactor Email class to extend or delegate to smartmail.Smartmail
- Align the interfaces between internal Email and Smartmail classes
- Simplify conversion between MTA Email format and Smartmail
6. Enhanced Email Processing
- Add proper DKIM signature verification using smartmail capabilities
- Implement proper email tagging and categorization
- Better handling of incoming emails with smart parsing
7. Testing & Documentation
- Create comprehensive tests for the smartmail integration
- Document the integration patterns for future reference
- Create example implementations for common use cases
Implementation Strategy
- First focus on non-breaking improvements (validation, template enhancement)
- Then tackle the deeper integration with MTA service
- Finally implement advanced features (MIME handling, DKIM)
Each change should be made incrementally with thorough testing to ensure no disruption to the existing email functionality.
