faqbot's Issues

Randomly generate closing

It'd be cool to randomly add a closing to each email from a hardcoded list (so we mix up our cheers, best, etc.)

It'd also be cool to have it generate potentially temporally relevant closings (Have a good weekend, Have a good evening), etc. Adds a personal touch :)

Create new templates from email

Credit of @cmnord:

"""
After you sent an email
To a hacker
You could reply
to admin
@faqbot template foo
and it'd replace names and signature
and make that the template for foo
"""

Whitelist for trigger

Right now there is nothing preventing someone randomly from calling and using faqbot except for knowing the faqbot address.

We can implement a very simple whitelist that only allow a certain email address from using faqbot.

Web UI for adding new templates

So people don't have to bother poor shreyas about adding new stuff

Run a mail server in Python for debugging and receiving mail

FaqBot could host its own mail server using something like salmon. This will allow two things:

• Create a debug email address (for instance [email protected]) all on its own for new users and developers to test things out without any mail setup on their part. This will make FaqBot truly plug and play.

• Eventually route all faq mails through faqbot's server and have it relayed to existing mailboxes. Esentially using this new mail server for prod and not just debugging.

Missing dependencys

The PyJWT and email-reply-parser dependency’s are missing from requirements.txt
