I'm working on rookery, "A PGP-first, self-hostable email server that comes with a web mail client and modern standards out-of-the-box.": https://github.com/oleblaesing/rookery

If you are a privacy minded person like me, you got only a few options when it comes to email with some ease of use: ProtonMail, Tuta etc. Rather than becoming a new competitor to those, I want to give the power of the decentralized email standard back into the users hand. Everyone with a bit of self-hosting/Linux knowledge, can setup their instances for themselves and their friends/family/business.

Bootstrapped that heavy via vibe coding. Used it to learn a lot about the email standard and related technology. However, I find it too valuable to just be a learning project. Now I'm cleaning it up to get in control again and to proof its secureness by rewriting/restructuring/refactoring line by line.

Protonmail (and I guess all others including Gmail, except Fastmail) has a nasty feature, where the sender can put an expiration date on emails and practically get a confirmation you received the email without you ever knowing you received the email.

If the expiration is for example one day, you might never see it.

To my knowledge, Protonmail does not even show information that the email has expiration. Nor can you access log of deletions.

This feature was used against me on a court trial.

I am working on an email spam filter - would it be interesting to you? An extension perhaps?

Sounds great, share it if you want - using rspamd right now, don't think it's worth the switch at the moment though, as I just want to stabilize/deslopify everything first, before iterating on individual aspects.
