Node-red-node-email authenticate users

Hi @knolleary,

I’m using the email MTA node to listen for incoming conections.
I see there is an “Authenticate users” option.
Can I load the users form database into a global context when node-red starts and use that?
If so do you have a sample?

Hi @kolaval, welcome to the forum.

Please do not tag people specifically. There are plenty of folk here who can respond.

What you are asking is not easily possible at this time however your request is quite valid so I have raised a feature request here: FR: Allow Email MTA Users list to be provided from a source · Issue #1102 · node-red/node-red-nodes · GitHub

You may have to implement this yourself inside Node-RED - it should not be so difficult to do. You could adapt the source from node-red-nodes/social/email/61-email.js at master · node-red/node-red-nodes · GitHub and import smtp-server (on the function setup tab) of a function node.

Apologies for tagging I assumed after reading other posts.
