Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it’s an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

    I see a lot of good discussion here. I’ve been on proton for years now, using my own domain. While true that Andy is one of 5 board members, and it’s a nonprofit etc, these statements are raising hairs on my neck, personally.

    Does anyone have a good guide on problems associated with self-hosting email?

      Setting up is a piece of cake but getting your emails through spam filters can be a pain.

      Have you considered Tuta?

      If you self host it, do it on a VPS so if you’re out of town and it goes down, you don’t lose a month’s worth of emails

      I think the main difficulty is getting companies like Gmail to recognize your domain as legitimate, as they don’t by default

      I don’t think I do this like you’re suggesting, but I have my email hosted at opalstack. I’ve been really happy with them. I don’t have a server-side spam solution yet, though. I just set up spam rules on Thunderbird on my local machine.
