Oh, that's a good point. We have a ship on cosmic.voyage that you can
post to by emailing it. It's an in-universe anonymous relay, so it makes
sense from that side too. I have it locked down to only accept mail from
inside the system, though. I'd be too worried about email posting
floating out there for public access. Do you have a good way to secure
your own? Or do you just white-list the From: ?
Since I'm the only one sending email in, I don't have to worry about the
From: line since I send the email to a random email address that has never
been published, and thus, no one knows it exists. Also, if the format of
the email isn't right, it will be rejected as well.
But your idea of whitelisting the From: address is good. Using a special
non-published email address is also good, as well as good validation of the
incoming email (format, GnuPG, PGP, etc.).
