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.

@adele It's an interesting experiment. It usefulness may be impacted (based on my experiences) by the domain not being one of the Big Names in tech. A lot of mail servers will filter out anything not from GMail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc. So users of smolmail should expect to have a lot of conversations with people that involve the phrase "Please check your spam folder...."

@distrowatch that's why we need more diversity. Restrictions to BigTech domain appeared with the increase of their market share.
However I use "exotic" domains for all my email addresses without trouble
