You’re totally right. Maintaining this service will be a toll and in a few years, I may not be interested in this.
My current plan is if I ever do have to shut down email.radio, I’ll have the servers up for at least an extra year, then allow people to fetch their data for a couple of extra years.
Currently, I’m trying to get email.radio into a ‘low-maintenance’ stage. Meaning, I won’t need to login to the host server practically ever, only to update the mailcow instance.
I have plans to keep this sustained for quite a while, as I would like someone to place on my resume, lol.
For email.radio, I tend to just match the IP location to the address listed on the license. I also thought about using the navigator.geolocation location API to automatically verify users, but that could easily be spoofed.
I do know that some use postcards and make you upload your official license. EchoLink has an option to charge your card $1 to match your billing address to your callsign address automatically.

Storage is 1GB by default (you can ask for more when you reach that limit), and emails are sorta encrypted. I find it weird that emails are ‘encrypted’ with a key pair that are on the same email server. I’m going to attempt to find a way to make emails encrypted with your own key/pass combination.
I haven’t planned to keep it in /root. It ran as a separate user, but in that directory. Plus that thing only contains the homepage and the form, not emails, accounts, attachments, etc. That’s also ran as a separate user (as mailcow is dockerised)
Hi, sorry! I forgot to upload the nunjucks template! I'm finally at school so I'll do that right now :)
I mean it's not really. I just find it cool to have a short domain which I use for QSL cards.
Hello! I am the person that made this service. I am a relatively new ham and I thought the domain was cool so I picked it up. I'm a high-school student, lol
POP3 is supported, by the way, I just didn't list it. That's my fault
