How it works
The Ruby on Rails 6 framework provides the basis of Paced Email. Action Mailbox handles and processes inbound emails via the Mailgun email service provider.
We determine the inbox name and periodicity from the to
, cc
and bcc
fields from the inbound emails you send our way.
At the end of each daily, weekly, or monthly period, all the emails received to your aliases get amalgamated into one email and sent to your real email address.
