To respond to both of you above. Setting up two of these at once would have increased both the up-front cost (hardware for something like this is well north of a million USD) and t…

Tell the world you're REALLY fat without telling the world ...

Damn, $2000. I wish I'd kept my copy.

Did you use the 'litmus' test suite? I found it very useful when building Fastmail's (perl) WebDAV file server implementation. There were also a bunch of fun things with quirks aro…

The good news is, you have less time to be annoyed by it

You're welcome! We're all very keen on keeping email open and something that everybody can build their own tools for.

We're working on it. We still use an unholy set of earlier versions of JMAP internally for our contacts and calendars; in particular the caldav_sync code is gnarly - I wrote it ove…

That's not strictly true. IMAP has two things, UIDs which are mostly static (there's a UIDVALIDITY cache invalidation key to let a client know that UID information has been lost an…

JMAP is only JSON over HTTP because that's what all the libraries support. Any data format which provides hashes and arrays would work fine, over any transport. So you could use CB…

Join the club, we have compulsive mouse habits. (am a member of this select club)

This is why I trigger a segfault which dumps core at the spot where I had the printf when the conditions aren't what I want, so I can then open the debugger on the core (obviously:…

We tried very hard to convert FastMail to Fastmail and... it's been about 90% successful but there's definitely a bunch of things out there spelled the old way. We just joke about …

There are a few different threads on this and now that things are in a stable place I'm going to cross post this to all of them! The larger context is that we're making a major cha…

Glad you asked! In a similar way to ARC (but better). The mailing list/group would add its own signature, and potentially a Delta-Body or Delta-Headers describing what changes it m…

Sadly, BCC is still a real thing, so the recipient system can't reliably tell that the recipient wasn't in the "to:" field and drop the message. That's one of the authentication ho…

Bah, the datatracker doesn't list the candidate documents. Here's some direct links: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-chuang-dkim2-dns/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft…

I'm working on the solution to this (co-authors from Google and Yahoo, it's legit): https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gondwana-dkim2-motiva... Note that it doesn't help avoid …

Thanks!

Also there's the problem that every human has to have perfect opsec or you get the problem we have now, where there are massive botnets out there of compromised home computers.

This kind of possibility is why Fastmail purchased fastmail.com and migrated away from our old 'fastmail.fm' domain. .fm was cool, but we ran into a couple of outages on the .fm se…

Just stayed at a couple of places in Portugal which were "adults only" and it was fine. Also stayed at places which were explicitly child friendly and designed with facilities for …

Fantastic :) Great to hear. I really do hope to find some time to read through the code, I haven't written any Go, so it'll be a slog to understand everything, but reading code is …
