What's the latest version of Node you have this working on?

Hi,

Appreciate this project appears long dead. I upgraded to Node 14 and whilst MailIn appears to start ok, I'm not seeing any of the listeners fire on event like they should (and did previously)

I think I'll need to downgrade , but wondering what the latest version of Node that MailIn will work with?

• Up until today (2024-04-13), I had it running fine on Node v16.20.2 on Debian.
• I upgraded to Node v20.5.1 today, and it's no longer working.
• When a new email comes in, it dies with:

/usr/local/lib/npm/lib/node_modules/mailin/node_modules/smtp-server/lib/smtp-stream.js:38
    this.closed = false;
                ^

TypeError: Cannot set property closed of #<Writable> which has only a getter

@hi2u i think your comment is the latest up to date i could find.

there's this #137 (comment) from 2021 claiming a fork, but the fork is dead too... but there's a fork of the fork claiming it works with node18 vithalreddy/node-mailin#41 but somebody complains the same as you. vithalreddy/node-mailin#35 (comment)

i'm looking for an updated fork which could run in node20. did you find any?

[hi2u]

@y-nk Sorry, only just noticed your comment now.

No I didn't find anything that worked well as a drop-in replacement.

I ended up giving up on that setup, and switching to doing everything inside my own node app using these 2 packages instead:

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/smtp-server
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/mailparser

@hi2u no pb :) in the end i got it running in node20 like a breeze but with pnpm overrides. it's a bit sad tho but it seems holding well enough for now.
