   We'd like to remind everyone that a self-hosted #chatmail relay is best shared in some wider than family circles. In crisis situations everbody does better when helping others.

   A typical 1gb RAM chatmail relay VPS for 5-10 eur per month supports 50k+ daily users.

   chatmail VPSes are stateless. You can wipe all disk state, reinstall and chatting will resume. Conversely, #deltachat does not keep or depend on any server state .Operators under pressure do not need to feel bad to hand over data.

     @delta I appreciate that reminder. My impression is that most knowledgeable people see e-mail as a burden loaded technology in every possible way. When in fact it probably is orders of magnitude lighter than matrix or xmpp or … Signal. 😛

     @fox84 @delta Chatmail is another sub-project of DeltaChat. Same team.

     @delta I'd like to check out the self-hosting option. Is this the ChatMail you mentioned? If so, who is behind its development?

     @delta @fox84 I meant the relay development and delta chat development is essentially the same group of people

     @feld @fox84 "same team" is not quite true. Many delta chat teams have no hand in relay development. And vice versa.
