python-mailcow

python-mailcow allows you to interact with the MailCow API. It comes with a cli mailcow. All arguments for the cli are generated by parsing your MailCow instance's OpenApi schema.

See demo.mailcow.email as OpenAPI scheme example.

This means that you can add, get, edit and delete everything that the MailCow API allows and changes to the API should be usable immediately.

...Famous last words... I know...

BTW: The look and feel of the cli and configuration is inspired by the python-gitlab project.

Installation

• from pypi: pip install python-mailcow
• from github: pip install git+https://github.com./derJD/python-mailcow.git

Local Build

git clone https://github.com/derJD/python-mailcow.git
cd python-mailcow
pip install .

Usage

quick start

• Generate a API token in the MailCow UI
• mailcow --create-example-config
• Edit settings in ~/.config/python-mailcow.cfg to match your MailCow UI
• mailcow --help should now show all available options depending on your MailCow API version

Config

python-mailcow read its settings from ~/.config/python-mailcow.cfg. An example configuration looks like this:

[defaults]
server = mailcow.example.com
ssl_verify = true

[mailcow.example.com]
url = https://mailcow.example.com
token = 123456-abcde-123456-abcde-123456

url	String	Base URL (MailCow UI location) for connection ie: https://demo.mailcow.email
token	String	Token for API-Access

timeout	Integer	Connection timeout

CLI

If you installed python-mailcow for the first time you may run following command and change the settings according to your needs:

mailcow --create-example-config

After that you should be able to run commands like these:
