Is there a market for email server software with UX akin to Sandstorm, then (i.e. easy to install / self-maintaining), or would this apply to EC2 servers just as it does to email?
If so, a simple physical mail server with a battery / cellular network connection for power or network outages seems like a good technical solution.
The more reasonable solution is a legal one, of course: treat treat third party email the same way one treats a third party mailbox (PO box). Safety deposit boxes are a good comparison, as well: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/12/microsoft-tells-us-the-worlds-servers-are-not-yours-for-the-taking/ http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/12/microsoft-tells-u...
- reitanqild 10y agoI would guess/hope something like this is on the sandstorm roadmap but I don't know.

- reitanqild 10y agoAs long as it is for personal use I at least don't feel the need for redundant power or network. I also ran a sandstorm instance locally for a few months and it was boring in a good way.
