l d12e1d53f7 fix: switch ratelimiter to MonotonicClock (#167)
There is a known bug that `quanta` clock
used by default sometimes jumps back:
<https://github.com/metrics-rs/quanta/issues/111>.
This results in `governor` rate limiter
incorrectly rejecting the messages
even when less than the configured burst size
has been sent.

Switched to standard monotonic clock
which does not have this problem.
I tested that this fixed the problem for me,
chatmail relay test `test_exceed_rate_limit`
stopped failing randomly.

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
