How are they going to receive mail? All blocks of IP's from any provider are blocked, usually huge blocks, larger than /24 often. No one is getting to any comcast users, they as do many others publish lists of their IP ranges so you can block then in your server or use an RBL.


From the FAQ:

>If your ISP provider is filtering email ports 25 going out you will have to use a SMTP relay. If It blocks port 25 comming in you won't be able to have self-hosted email address. Note that in both cases it won't prevent you from having a fully confidential email address, and that these blockages will be automatically detected and you Own-Mailbox will only propose configurations that will work.

So from that I think that it can use the ISPs email server.


So basically, once you add the relay, you have made the devices most compelling feature no longer a feature.


The compelling feature is secure webmail. It makes no difference how that mail gets from sender to recipient for that aspect.


my question exactly. your home ip is going to have to use dyndns or something i guess, really wish they would talk about this on the site.
