How I Built It

I leveraged Postmark’s inbound email service to receive and parse incoming emails. My app includes a webhook endpoint that captures the parsed email content as JSON, along with relevant metadata.

To secure this endpoint, I implemented HTTP Basic Authentication, which is fully supported by Postmark, to ensure safe and reliable communication.

I utilized Postmark's SpamAssassin headers X-Spam-Status and X-Spam-Score to identify and discard spam emails.

Additionally, I implemented a profanity filter to detect and remove offensive language from incoming messages.
