# Chatmail relays for end-to-end encrypted email
# No-DNS Chatmail relay
Chatmail relay servers are interoperable Mail Transport Agents (MTAs) designed for:
With this branch, you don't need DNS at all,
just a VPS with an IPv4 address,
let's take `77.42.80.106` as an example:
- **Zero State:** no private data or metadata collected, messages are auto-deleted, low disk usage
```
cmdeploy init whatever.you.want
cmdeploy run --skip-dns-check --ssh-host 77.42.80.106
```
- **Instant/Realtime:** sub-second message delivery, realtime P2P
streaming, privacy-preserving Push Notifications for Apple, Google, and Huawei;
- **Security Enforcement**: only strict TLS, DKIM and OpenPGP with minimized metadata accepted
- **Reliable Federation and Decentralization:** No spam or IP reputation checks, federating
depends on established IETF standards and protocols.
This repository contains everything needed to setup a ready-to-use chatmail relay on an ssh-reachable host.
For getting started and more information please refer to the web version of this repositories' documentation at

Then you can login with a `dclogin://` code like this:
`dclogin:s0m3r4nd0@whatever.you.want?p=w7i8da7h8uads92ycc2rufyl&v=1&ih=77.42.80.106&sh=77.42.80.106&sp=443&ip=443&ic=3&sc=3`
