1 What is this?
If you don't know, you shouldn't be here.
2 How do I log in?
Ask me for a username and I'll generate a random password for you. Then visit the login page. Login with your full email address and password!
3 Can I set this up to go into my normal email client?
Not yet. Coming. Web-only for now.
4 Can I use this as my primary email?
Please don't for now. This is merely an alternative means of communication between members of a community who wish to be resilient against Big Tech, attacks on the internet and possible communications blackouts coming soon. That having been said, it has been set up properly to function as a modern email solution with full security, automatic encrypted backups and a fully featured web-based client. The goal is so we can talk to each other and exchange information during an apocalyptic scenario.
5 Email? Really?
Google can - and has - deleted people's accounts for badthink. Discord can - and has - deleted entire servers for badthink. Amazon can - and has - removed…you get the idea. Email works well over bad connections, works well when the DNS system is compromised or even down worldwide and is light on resources. If the lowest level protocols of the Internet are still up, you will be able log in and chat to anyone else on here. And mail delivery will be almost instant.
6 Help! I lost my password.
Ask me for a new one using the same channel.
7 Can I spam people from this email address?
No. If you do, I will delete your account permanently, block you on social media, publicly shame you and make sure your name gets sent to the anti-spam online services as a known spammer.
8 Can I send mail to all other users on this service?
Yes. Email to all@aremnant.net will be forwarded to everyone.
9 I don't want to receive email from all the other users!
Set up a filter to discard mail from what the alias will be - something like all@aremnant.net
10 I sent an email to gmail/outlook/somebigcorp and I got flagged as spam!
Welcome to the centralized internet full of big gatekeepers.
11 The internet's domain name system has been compromised!
https://172.105.154.75/mail will still work. Your web browser will complain about a lack of security. Don't worry.
12 This seems like a very good email solution for me or my organization. Can you set up one for me too?
Sure. Drop me a line at paul@aremnant.net
