anonymizing private mailing list on Mailgun

conspiracy is a simple HTTP server used to run an anonymizing private mailing list using the Mailgun API.

Only members may send to the list. The list strips signatures and address information from every inbound message, and redistributes to each member. Private mailing list plus anonymous remailer equals self-enforcing Chatham House Rule for e-mail based discussion.

Environment Configuration

• PORT: port for HTTP server

• MAILGUN_API_KEY: Mailgun API credential

  The list will use this key to redistribute messages.

• DOMAIN: mailing list domain name.

  The list will redistribute messages From: list@DOMAIN.

• POST_PATH: a hard-to-guess HTTP request path

  Configure a Mailgun route to post to this path.

• DISTRIBUTION_LIST: path of a text file containing a newline-delimited list of list member e-mail addresses
