Jagoda Estera Ślązak 93c0c3a891 feat: Check incoming email return address (#72)
If the MAIL FROM doesn't match the From header,
we do not reject the mail, as this can be caused
by e.g. SRS forwarding. Instead, we reset the envelope
address, so it is reinjected as `MAIL FROM:<>`
to prevent sending a bounce message.

Closes #67

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 connections with strict TLS are accepted; all messages must be correctly signed with DKIM and OpenPGP-encrypted with minimized metadata. There are experimental exceptions for no-DNS relays, which are allowed use self-signed TLS certificates and which do not need to DKIM-sign their messages. Unencrypted messages are allowed in neither case.

  • 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
