[Freedombox-discuss] email recommendations?

[Thomas Lord]

Listening to all of the great answers to my 
questions about picking an email stack, I came
to a realization:

No matter how much we improve various admin 
interfaces, no time soon are most people going to 
be competent to maintain an SMTP server on their
box.

I think that some freedomboxes have to be set-up to 
provide mail service for other freedombox users - 
but by default a freedombox doesn't.   Freedomboxes
naturally form packs where different members of the 
pack have different roles.

People have to rely on other members of their
trusted community for certain server features.

I blogged light-heartedly about this:

and, at least partly, great minds think alike?  :-)

I'm not done yet thinking about some of the details proposed by Anthony 
but the core ideas - that freedombox users need ways to share 
domains, fat pipes, hard to admin services, etc.....

I think will become very important as we go along.
