Helm: Personal Email Server

Re:Helm: Personal Email Server by newman314 on Wednesday October 17, 2018 @04:51PM (#18243702)

According to this page (https://thehelm.com/pages/technology), the following is logged.

* Name, address, payment information, domain, DNS records

* Device diagnostics (such as temperature), software versions, enabled services, connection status, connection type, serial number

* Anything related to customer support, including information customers provide

So plenty of information to uniquely identify a system. The last bullet is a little concerning as it seems to be a catch-all.

The last bullet isn't intended to be a catch-all but to reflect the fact that we can't control what customers provide us via customer support.

I don't see what the issue with uniquely identifying a system is. The main metadata of concern is what other mail servers are being interacted with.

If everything has to go through their relay, they can pretty easily see what mail servers are being interacted with.

Yes, but they don't have to log that, and given the way the system is described there's no reason it would by default.
