    There is no defined process for obtaining it. If you'd like to tear down that statement into little pieces and dissect it, I recommend getting a new hobby because it's not that int…

    Having friends inside of Apple that provide you with something no one else can obtain is a fairly decent definition of favoritism. You cannot send Push notifications to the stock i…

    The stock Mail app for iOS does not support JMAP.

    This is exactly why we put this as a forbidden use case in the MXroute policy: “Deceptive use against third party services by creating multiple email accounts to pretend to be mult…

    It varies. It likely is an exaggeration for you, but for someone else it isn’t. It only needs to target a few domains to act as a DDOS. Rejecting invalid recipients reduces spam sc…

    Feel free to open a support ticket about that and request that I evaluate any such 30 minute delays. If it’s the Friday server and you’re referring to inbound, mitigation has been …

    We (MXroute) maintain low queues (high queues set off alarms, literally). Funny detail, I actually have our combined mail queues as a widget on my phone: https://files.freesocial.c…

    Whatever you decide, I'm here for you at MXroute and would love to have you on board. I understand your concerns and I wouldn't say anything to invalidate them, the burden of choic…

    I appreciate your recommendation. I'm no friend to intelligence agencies, but I don't want to necessarily put myself out there as a competitor to something like the old Lavabit. I'…

    This has been my position for a while as well. We even saw last year the revelation that the CIA had been in Switzerland: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/nationa…

    It's a very tight line to walk, when I intend to offer these lifetime packages and run a company that outlives me. That's why you'll see the price rising on it. I'm trying to find …

    And that's totally cool. I think a lot of alternate perspectives around this focus on proprietary implementations, and my focus revolves mostly around open source and licensed soft…

    How do you track the name without tracking the password itself? The IMAP standard doesn't provide a function for this. You'd have to log the password used and do it that way. It'd …

    Appreciate those notes! Will be redoing a lot of the documentation very soon, and will keep this in mind.

    Apologies for the bad first impression. This is somewhat intentional. MXroute was originally created for sysadmins who don't need bells and whistles, and just need their email to g…

    Hey drcongo. Jarland from DigitalOcean here. Truthfully, we would have to talk about individual cases to provide a detailed answer. Being aware of who you are and knowing how the d…
