LNemail is now open source! https://github.com/lnemail/lnemail There is a pretty cool development environment that sets up a Bitcoin node with a testnet, mines, and funds some lightning nodes to be able to test payments during development. Apart from the actual LNemail server stack and mail server. More improvements to come soon™. Check the issues to see what's next.

Nice. In any case I'll set up better monitoring to maintain high uptime before going out of the Beta stage.

Great! The nice thing about SMTP is that other servers retry the delivery until it works. So small downtimes don't lead to data loss.

Fixed it! Something related to networking got stuck. Thanks for the report. Feel free to DM if you need further assistance.

yes😎

LNemail is now available also through TOR: http://lnemailv7hfb2txbk7qihz32p4j376wv7pn2xa3nmfwj6lrdhs5nf3ad.onion/ And submitted for review to https://kycnot.me/service/lnemail

Oh right... The new drama. Thanks :-)

I didn't know that, thanks for the info. This would then mean becoming a full-fledged email provider, but that's OK if there's the demand for it. As a user, do you prefer a “premium” account that grants you unlimited IMAP access for receiving and sending. Or just the option in the “standard” account to pay for sending each time from the web UI? Thanks a lot for your input BTW!

Proton or Tuta offer full no-KYC email accounts for free. Limited to one free account per individual by their T&C. It takes a few more clicks to create one and they are harder to automate (creation and usage). But they are probably better if you plan on using them regularly. Do you think sending emails from LNemail still make sense anyway?

Thanks for the suggestion! The server is technically ready for sending emails, and a small sats payment per email could deter spam. But it would shift LNemail from a disposable inbox to a more full-featured email service though, which wasn't the original focus. Did you have a specific use case in mind for sending?

LNemail just launched! - a private inbox that lasts 1 year for 1,000 sats (renewable). Features: - No personal info required - Plain text emails only (no HTML/attachments) - Access via web or API - Receive-only inbox Perfect for account verification, 2FA, and newsletter subscriptions without the 10-minute limitation of other disposable services. ⚠️ Currently in BETA - use at your own risk Try it: https://lnemail.net Feedback welcome!

Might enable sending as well soon. Some other users showed interest as well. It's amazing how many problems disappear (service abuse) when the incentives are aligned by paying sats for a service.
