    Fair enough - I got it working recently but it was the hardest self-hosting install I’ve done. No way most people would succeed. Email is 50(?) years of questionable design decisions piled on top of each other so it’s become a whole world of weird stuff. Doing email should be it’s own tech specialty, like ‘devops’ or ‘db admin’ is. There’s enough depth to it.

    There are a ton of email providers who are not Google, though. e.g. https://proton.me/mail. You don’t need to run it on your own hardware.


  • If you Deploy the Program on hardware (consumer electronics, IoT devices, or cloud infrastructure), you must provide “Installation Information.” This includes all authorization keys, cryptographic signatures, or passwords required to install and execute modified versions of the Program on that specific hardware.

    That clause would make it impossible to deploy the software as it would grant the world access to your systems.
