Sure. Try search the archive of this mailinglist for "email" and/or "smtp"... Here are some examples (biased - make a search yourself for other opinions): http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2010-October/000199.html http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2011-August/002618.html > I thought I'd build out a quick win this weekend and add Friendica to > the plugserver setup scripts [0], but Friendica sends registration > emails, and there's no other way to deliver the registration > information (Jabber, etc).

Because "properly" means more than the classic "reliably" and "without too much spam": FreedomBox "properly" includes "free from maintenance" and "privacy-aware" and "low resource". How to limit spam on low-resource hardware without leaking privacy by use of external spam filters external smtp hosting? Only way I see is to limit smtp to trusted peers - which means not really standard internet email but custom FreedomBox-mail, as we need some custom mechanism to resolve who are friends _and_ tighten smtp setup to only communicate directly and securely with those friends. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
