We're planning on offering domain registration and DNS management at some point, but that's the only other service which is planned at the moment. We may also get into mail hosting someday, and we are also hoping to experiment with services related OpenNIC, Tor, and Yggdrasil.

>I'd love to see a paid email service from a company with an open source ethos.

Posteo.de is exactly that. They're even endorsed by the FSF.

The problem with Posteo is that they don't let you bring your own domain, which in effect allows them to hold your email address hostage. This is a non-starter for a pro-user email hosting service.

But then the domain system holds your address hostage. I think considering the realities of the current internet, Posteo is a good compromise.

I'm not sure we want to distract Drew from Sourcehut (and running an email service sounds deeply distracting), but I would love to know what FLOSS email hosting service Sourcehut might see fit to support, as in the other thread about Openstreetmap.
