Thanks for the suggestion! I’m not familiar with how Send to Kindle is supposed to work, but I did a quick search and found that each user has a dedicated Kindle email address where you can send books, and they show up on your Kindle. Is that what you mean? That could be implemented pretty easily, imo. Or does Calibre do something different? If so, it would be great if you could share a few more details.

So, basically yes. Works like that

You send a email with the file to the kindle email and you get to sync the book on the Kindle

But you have to add the email of the sender on the "permission" list, maybe is possible to create an account for the project on GMX using SMTP like is used on calibre or if existe other way to use maybe a personal or a public (for the community)

From the Calibre website:

Because of the large amount of spam in email, sending email can be tricky, as different mail servers use different strategies to block email. The most common problem is if you are sending email directly (without a mail relay) in calibre. Many servers (for example, Amazon) block email that does not come from a well known relay. The most robust way to setup email sending in calibre is to do the following:

• Create a free GMX account at GMX.
• Go to Preferences → Sharing → Sharing books by email in calibre and click the Use GMX button and fill in the information asked for.
• Log into your GMX account on the website and enable SMTP sending (Settings->POP3 & IMAP->Send and receive emails via external program)
• calibre will then be able to use GMX to send the mail.
• If you are sending to your Kindle, remember to update the email preferences on your Amazon Kindle page to allow email sent from your GMX email address. Also note that Amazon does not allow email delivery of AZW3 and new style (KF8) MOBI files. Finally, Amazon recently started sending confirmation emails that you have to click on back to your GMX account before the book is actually delivered.
