According to the article, it sounds like Fastspring themselves blocked customers with Russian IP addresses from signing up, and removed their app from Russian app stores.
I'd hope that even if the Russian authorities would block Fastmail, that they would only block their web servers and maybe their IMAP servers, but not their SMTP servers. The latter would impact a lot more people in Russia.
- strogonoff 5y agoAnecdotally, Fastmail seemed to already be blocking Russian sign-ups 4 years ago. I know at least one non-user who couldn’t sign up around that time because of this issue. Either IP or (more likely) billing address was the issue, if I recall correctly. Alternatively, their sign-up form was broken for all users at that time, but I hope they’ve better SREs than that.
