Do you mean a better SMTP server or making a better* e-mail in general? (As an example) * Better in this case would be a fundamental design to prevent spoofing

Do you mean a better SMTP server or making a better* e-mail in general? (As an example)
* Better in this case would be a fundamental design to prevent spoofing, provide S2S encryption maybe E2E encryption, fixing MIME typing issues, fixing Rich Text/HTML display, etc. Basically an actually good faith replacement of e-mail instead of a vendor co-opting.
- networkimprov 6y agoThere's TMTP, "a sane network protocol for email, to end attacks and promote productivity." https://mnmnotmail.org/ https://mnmnotmail.org/ https://twitter.com/mnmnotmail https://twitter.com/mnmnotmail
- everybodyknows 6y agoSerious money may be required. Support for MNM by way of Patreon is requested on the home page. There's also JMAP, with credible standards people involved: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/jmap/photos/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/jmap/photos/ Serious industry involvement however appears limited to FastMail.
- networkimprov 6y agoJMAP is an extension of the email protocol stack; it only replaces IMAP. TMTP is an alternative to the entire email protocol stack. It will be standardized after it's been proven in a range of real-world scenarios. The mnm client & server, which implement TMTP, work well today, and have nearly all the features most users need. See docs menu in the online demo. https://mnmnotmail.org/demo.html https://mnmnotmail.org/demo.html Re "serious money", could you elaborate?
