Routing controls

MailSlurp features for policy-driven inbound routing

Control how inbound email is evaluated, forwarded, and handed off so every message follows an explicit path your team can inspect.

Rulesets with explicit match conditions and precedence

Apply sender, recipient, subject, and attachment logic in a defined order so inbound policy behaves predictably under load.

Forwarders, aliases, and catch-all routing

Move matched traffic into the right inbox, alias destination, or shared operator lane without exposing the underlying mailbox structure.

Webhook delivery with retry history and replay

Push inbox events into downstream systems, inspect failed deliveries, and rerun handlers safely when a consumer or endpoint breaks.

Fallback inboxes and testable routing changes

Quarantine unmatched traffic, validate rules before live rollout, and keep every routing decision visible to engineering and operations owners.

Key workflows

Most routing incidents come from unclear rule precedence and weak failure recovery. A controlled routing plane keeps message handling testable, auditable, and easier to hand off.

Workflow 01

Deterministic forwarding

Move approved traffic to operators or downstream systems with condition-scoped rules and explicit ownership.

Workflow 02

Webhook and queue fan-out

Deliver message events to services with retries, dead-letter fallback, and replay support.

Workflow 03

Ruleset controls

Enforce allow/block decisions before business workflows execute.

Developer integration

Configure routing and forwarding from one control plane

Manage inbox forwarding, rule precedence, and downstream handoff through the API so every inbound message follows an explicit path.

  • Create forwarders and rules without manual mailbox setup
  • Route approved traffic into webhooks, operators, or fallback queues
  • Keep routing policy explicit in code and reviewable by operations teams
