Millions of users using "this kind of" technology does not validate the premise of defederating from regular email. Can you use this to sign up for Netflix? Facebook? Reddit? Discord? Every time you said "no", you've lost 99% of the previously remaining potential audience.

This is an important use case. The short answer is yes you can.

So what do I set my MX record to?

Do I have to run my own node - on a server in my basement, or on a VPS?

Do I have to trust your infrastructure?

Do I have to go through another, existing provider?

I'm trying to get a simple answer to these questions since my original post.

To create a gateway on your domain, you should run your own Eppie node and set MX record to point to that node. Otherwise, there’s no MX record. It’s a p2p trustless network

> Do I have to run my own node - on a server in my basement, or on a VPS?

Yes, as soon as Eppie is launched.

> Do I have to trust your infrastructure?

Eppie is a trustless network. All nodes are equal. So, no, you don’t have to trust it. Take a look at our GitHub: https://github.com/Eppie-io

> Do I have to go through another, existing provider?

No you don’t.

We appreciate your willingness to get to the bottom of it.
