After restarting pdns/pdns-recursor, wait up to 10 s for the recursor to actually answer a query before proceeding. Likewise, after configure_dns(), poll from inside the relay container until the configured DNS IP responds. On --destroy-all, unset the incusbr0 dns.mode and raw.dnsmasq network options so the next lxc-start starts from a clean bridge state. DNSConfigurationError (caught in main()) is raised on timeout so the CLI prints a clean error instead of failing later with a cryptic message.
Chatmail relays for end-to-end encrypted email
Chatmail relay servers are interoperable Mail Transport Agents (MTAs) designed for:
-
Zero State: no private data or metadata collected, messages are auto-deleted, low disk usage
-
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
