Chatmail are minimalistic mail servers to be used only for Delta chat. They are faster and simple to set up, but won't accept usual mail.
They can for example skip usual spam filtering and rely on spammers not using PGP.

@allo @thin_line @digitalprivacy (note: even if spammers use PGP, they would need to get access to your public key before they can send you spam, and then do this for every user and encrypt for everyone of them, so they can't send bulk email as they usually do)

@rakoo @allo @delta @digitalprivacy

Is there a selfhostable #dockercompose version ?

Aldo, has anyone tried using #mox (go #email server) with deltachat?

@thin_line @rakoo @allo @delta @digitalprivacy It would be interesting to know if it works well. Maybe you could try it out?

Ah, that explains why no mails from support.delta.chat go through to my address *despite* me having logged in with delta

@alexia @rakoo @allo @digitalprivacy @thin_line uh, that's collateral damage indeed. Hum. But "login with delta chat" works, right?

@rohden If you need cleartext communication then chatmail servers are not the right solution. But note that existing chatmail adresses can still receive incoming cleartext messages. We didn't want to break existing usage. All new adresses are strict e2ee though.
