mittwald

Overview

This node interacts with the "Mail" resource of the mittwald mStudio API, specifically allowing users to update the catch-all setting for a mail address. The catch-all feature determines whether all emails sent to undefined addresses under a domain are accepted or rejected.

A common use case is when an administrator wants to enable or disable the catch-all mailbox behavior for a specific mail address ID, controlling how incoming emails to non-existent addresses are handled.

For example, enabling the catch-all can help ensure no emails are lost by redirecting them to a designated mailbox, while disabling it can reduce spam by rejecting unknown recipients.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated mail address catch-all configuration as returned by the mittwald mStudio API. This typically includes confirmation of the new active state and possibly other metadata about the mail address.

No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the mittwald mStudio API.
• The node uses the base URL https://api.mittwald.de and expects JSON content-type headers.
• Proper network access to the mittwald API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Mail Address Id: If the provided mail address ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will likely return an error. Verify the ID before running the node.
• Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key is correctly configured in n8n.
• Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the mittwald API endpoint will result in request timeouts or errors.
• Invalid Active Value: The active property must be a boolean; providing other types may cause unexpected behavior.
