Have anyone looked into the email forward service like simple login [image] Free Email Forwarding for Custom Domains Get free email forwarding for your custom domain. Send & receive as you@yourdomain.com with unlimited aliases, 10GB storage & 100% open-source security. …

[image] jonah: One possibility is that we would add a warning to the recommendation about this issue and specifically recommend against the free plan. I think most people can invest 3$ if the service is GOOD. Addy provides unlimited domains and simple login provides unlimited bandwidth. Both …

Privacy features should be standard. Only features should be restricted. If the free plan doesn’t meet the standards, then we shouldn’t include it, even if the paid plan meets the standards. At the end of the day, people are going to make a list of PG-recommended tools, so the nuance will be lost.

[image] forwardemail: We’re looking into the PGP encryption for forward-email TXT records I was just about to ask about this and see you mentioned it earlier here. Are you still thinking about doing this? And on the paid plans, your automatic PGP encryption only works with email mailboxes yo…

[image] jonah: I was just about to ask about this and see you mentioned it earlier here. Are you still thinking about doing this? As mentioned in this comment we have been evaluating design approaches to support this. After much consideration, our approach is tentatively going to re-use our …

Oh I quoted the wrong comment. My second question was actually supposed to be: Do you have plans to support automatic PGP encryption of forwarded emails?
