Is fastmail the best email service provider these days? I switched my own domain to them a while ago, but then abandoned it when I heard about the new laws in Australia.
This is particularly true when most of the people you’re emailing have gmail anyway.
Things like proton mail make no sense to me in that context.
Fastmail works well and has design incentives aligned with the user, I thought they were the best of the options available when I switched.
As I understand it the oversight is relatively minimal and any company operating on Australian soil can be subject to such a request. Here's their government web page on it: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about-us/our-portfolios/natio...
It passed around the end of 2018 and a lot of Australian companies (e.g. Atlassian) were not fans of it.
