Currently testing our new #chatmail server.

WE LOVE IT!

Thanks @delta
It's so simple!

A new project is underway and Chatmail (DeltaChat) will probably be part of it (still testing).

Coming from Matrix, it is a blessing that these options are finally available (see picture)!

Shows some deltachat configurations and the deltachat logo. Focus on the configuration “Delete old messages” (from the device and from the server) and “ Disappearing messages”.

Um, is Deltachat and Chatmail the same?

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.

(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)

More precisely, Chatmail servers can receive any email but will not send any email that is not encrypted. You can receive spam if you have an account there but spammers won't be able to subscribe a million accounts and send spam from them

just for the record and because it changed a few days ago: Chatmail relay servers now don't accept cleartext incoming Mails anymore. This was a wish from operators of chatmail relays because it lowers the risk for them and their users against hacking or legal attacks.

Ah, that explains why no mails from support.delta.chat go through to my address despite me having logged in with delta 🥴
Delta Chat
uh, that's collateral damage indeed. Hum. But "login with delta chat" works, right?
rohden
Does this mean that it's no longer possible to receive messages on chatmail from regular e-email users who do not use any of the deltachat apps?
Delta Chat
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.
