Hello, in the last months, I have been searching for an email system with some features to make it better for kids, even for younger ages, and also their parents. We need a few features to guarantee some security to free messaging among known friends, but some supervision for unknown addresses.
Last January, I started a thread in Linux Questions about this. No clear solution was given until now. Now I am thinking about making something, since there seems to be no ready to use FOSS system. Maybe I can somehow setup Postfix to do this? Maybe I can use Postfix with some simple extra programs? You tell me, please! I never set up Postfix. Articles, books or any other material to read, if they can be useful, are very welcome. I already have the official Postfix book. Setting up this system with no root access in a Debian server (many more people use it) is welcome, although a few root actions just to set something up may not be a problem. My first post in the thread I mentioned is: == I am trying to find an email system (that preferably work with any email account) for kids. The features I am looking for are (possibly): - messages can be sent to any email account - answers must only be read after the contact is added and the supervisor confirmed its safety - or each message from strange accounts can be marked as safe without adding the sender to the contact; process repeated for each message - messages from contacts are received faster, do not need to be previously read by supervisor account - a copy of all messages can be read by the supervisor account at anytime, even after they are erased within the safe account I found a few paid services with similar features (tocomail, zilladog, kidsafemail, zoobuh, emailforkids.org). But none have interfaces in other languages but English. Such a system (or program) is not that hard to develop. Do you know any FOSS (free and open-source software) such system? Or some practical alternative method to achieve this safety? == A few comments and thoughts were made in that thread. You may want to read that, but I won't copy everything here, it may not be necessary or may be offtopic to this list. The thread "Do you know an FOSS email system for kids?" in Linux Questions is: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/do-you-know-an-foss-email-system-for-kids-4175597944/ I am waiting for your comments. Thank you (:
