Move IMAP listener from Relayer #41

Open saleel opened 6 months ago

saleel commented 6 months ago

This is an idea to improve relayer infra:

Add HTTP API in relayer to receive new email
Response is the email that should be sent to the user
IMAP listener can be a separate service that calls the Relayer server when there is a new email, and send the HTTP response (email) back to the user.

Advantages:

AWS SES can be used to listen to emails and call the relayer - we can avoid connection issues with IMAP
The relayer can run in a serverless fashion - can also explore running the full relayer in modal.com
For local use, IMAP listener service can be run separately - Docker compose can be setup for running everything.
