Good job, I'm with tuta and am super hesitant to switch since ctempla dropping the ball 3 years ago else I'd ask for an invite. But honestly need more indie providers like tuta, ctempla and proton.
I completely understand. One thing I’m working on right now is custom domain support, so that you can either use
yourname-labelname@yourdomain.comor even justlabelname@yourdomain.com. That way if you ultimately decide to switch providers, you wouldn’t have to change all your email addresses. I’m hoping to have that available within the next few months.That's pretty much how addy.io works, I think their technology is also open source? At least free for selfhosted use, I never looked into the license itself.
Just had a look at your service and it sounds quite compelling. I'm just wondering how the "not a bot" sender confirmation works - would they essentially get an autoreply where they have to solve a captcha, click on a specific link or whatnot?
I'm curios how that works with senders that aren't individuals but e.g. services I'm signing up for.
Any label you only want real people to send email to, you would enable screening, and they’ll get an autoreply with a link. Right now it’s just a link, but if I need to in the future, I could add a captcha.
Any label that you use for signing up somewhere, you wouldn’t enable screening, so that way they can send automated emails to you there. If you use an address for a label that doesn’t exist, it gets created as a “pending label”. Then you can approve or block it (or ignore it and it eventually gets deleted).
