Is it a good idea to setup a mail server for smol mailboxes and to open registration for free with invitation links for example?
The goal would be to reduce volume of emails, as #smolweb reduces the size of websites.

Something smol like:

  • one common domain name (something in .casa TLD)
  • in a French datacenter
  • 128 Mb of storage
  • 10 Mb max per email (sent or received)
  • 10 recipient addresses per email (can't be used for mailing)
  • limited sent per hour (no spam)
  • IMAP / POP3 / SMTP (over TLS)
  • Webmail (for desktop and mobile)
  • autodeleted if full for several months (to free space for newcomers)

Are you interested by such a #mailbox ?

Please share this toot to have a good idea of the interest.

It's a cool idea, but people have this problem that they won't respect your work! allowing mailing is not a good idea. It all depends on how you configure imitated sent per hour. I closed my service with a similar service profile

of course I tried! but there is an additional problem - because your users are divided into those who respect the service but do not want limits + support for their own domain and those who will destroy what you create at the expense of others + fighting with the service provider to keep a clean IP address
