I've heard it mentioned that each KRL ruleset can have an email address associated with it, allowing the ruleset to respond to mail events (such as mail received). What is the format of that email address?
The documentation on the email endpoint can be found at http://docs.kynetx.com/docs/Email_Endpoint
The format of the email for each app is
{appid}[.dev][+{label}]#kynetxapps.net
The simplest example if your app id is a60x42
a60x42#kynetxapps.net

I have a form on my portfolio that allows a user fill in a form with a question they have and send that to me by email.
When i try to use sendgrid it only allows me as a verified user to send emails from my own email address. but i want the 'from' field to be dynamically filled in by that user and then sent to me.
note: I also tried 'emailjs' but that works fine in development but fails in production.
Any suggestions on how to fix this or any other platforms i can use for that preferabally free since it is a hobby project.
Thanks

You do need to use a verified email address to send emails from SendGrid, this is to stop people using a form like you describe to spoof anyone's email address.
A better idea is to send emails created in your form from a verified email address and set the reply-to address as the submitted email. That way you can send with SendGrid and then when you reply in your email client it will return to the person that submitted the form.
I added more detail and example code (in Python) in this answer.
Recently I found a web application that can send email to my kindle foo#kindle.com on my behalf myemail#gmail.com. I am curious that how they can spoof the email sender to my gmail address without any permission. It's Kindle policy that only email addresses from an allowed list can send email to my kindle.
Your help is really appreciated.
In an email, you can change the 'from:' field to whatever you want. They simply changed the text in that field to your email address. If you would like to read more, here's the technical document describing how email should work: RFC 2822 Internet Message Format
I have user in my system who can send emails through my API. The API uses SendGrid to send the emails with their username as the sender + reply-to address.
user_1#mydomain.com
user_2#mydomain.com
user_3#mydomain.com
What I would like to do is allow people to reply to these emails but I'm unsure how to do this.
Obviously if I try to reply as is - I get an error saying the email couldn't be delivered.
Is there something to do with SendGrid which can handle previously unseen addresses #mydomain.com or do I need to do something to set them up initially in the first place?
The solution was to use incoming web-hooks.
I am developing an application, where I have a use case where I advertise a particular email id on a web site. Now, I need people to send me some information and an attachment to that email id . When I receive that email, it should trigger some action in my web application, such that I have both this document and the body of the email available to be in my web application. Then I can parse this information and take appropriate action. Let me know if it is possible to do this kind of email processing using Mandrill or Mailgun or SendGrid, and if yes, can you provide details/documention links on how this can be done.
Thanks

All three of those services support "inbound" email parsing, which should allow you to process and react to received emails.
Essentially they'll receive and process the email on your behalf, and send you a webhook with normalized data. Docs links below.

Mailgun Inbound Routes API

When users receive a notification email about a new private message on Facebook, they can reply to the email and have their response automatically added to the conversation on the site.
How can I build a cross platform system like that? I'm building a group chat system.
This is obviously way over-simplified, but here we go:
The way Facebook's emails work is by using a string that's unique to the receiver in the reply-to address:
<m+50edqb50000003jtdj389k6xib6hofj6t41q1c45sdt92qc#reply.facebook.com>
So when Facebook receive an email into reply.facebook.com, they (presumably) parse the string after the plus sign, decide which user/conversation it's relevant to, and add the text of the email into that conversation.
One option:
Send every notification email with a unique reply-to address, then receive replies with a customized SMTP server that will pair responses with the originating message object in your DB.
Since you are using django (according to your tags) I would recommend looking at the Lamson python SMTP server. It can be programmed to correctly attribute each message. Using Lamson with Django is documented.
