It’s not undocumented because it’s open source, it’s undocumented because no one (or not many) have asked.

Suggestions that you want to POST the encoded email in an `email_encoded` thingy. `routes.rb` shows that it’s a POST and the route, which is `https://discourse.example.com/admin/email/handle_mail`. I got it from the mail receiver sample template (and I’d recommend that you just use that, as if you had, you’d be finished already) but it’s also in [discourse/config/routes.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/config/routes.rb#L171) (which isn’t immediately clear just what’s happening unless you understand rals).
