No offense, but given that you are making a product that has a much higher potential to enable bad actors than usual, isn't it kind of you/your company's job to try to solve it?

EDIT: Just realized I responded to the wrong person :(

[mrunkel]

The person you are replying too isn't the CEO. Just another new user (that's why the username is in green).

[heartles]

You learn something new every day, I always assumed the green meant OP, like how reddit uses blue. I didn't even notice the change in username Thanks!

Thanks for teaching!

Spammers can already get mail servers without a problem. This doesn’t make that easier, because it’s already as easy as it can be.

[jhabdas]

No, it's not. In fact it's your job to try and police yourself. But you probably on someone else to control you don't you?

[heartles]

I mean, my thought is that if a high volume of spam causes other email servers to block Helm, then it makes it unusable to the good actors in the system. I didn't see the CEO address this.

Or, maybe I just misunderstand smtp idk

[graybolt]

Yeah, that's how I understand the issue too. I don't think there's an easy way to do things, either you end up blocking some people with a legitimate use case or you end up becoming a spam farm.
