> [@jocutajar](#): > > Another feature I have in mind is encryption at rest. Client shares the public key to the SMTP server and the server encrypts all incoming mail for that key automatically. I imagine this could be done transparently to be compatible with existing mail clients. With a clever support from the client it could be completely seamless to the user. Do you know about [DIME](https://darkmail.info/)? The idea is very similar. But just saving the key from outgoing [Autocrypt](https://autocrypt.org/) headers and encrypting everything that is not encrypted seems more realistic than replacing email protocols both in servers and clients of course. > [@jocutajar](#): > > Another feature I have in mind is automatic account creation. You’ll send a signed message to say [accounts@mydomain.chat](mailto:accounts@mydomain.chat) with a command to claim the addresses included. The server automatically provisions an account for you and you could even authenticate using the private key… Registration fee could be included. In response to the claim message, the server could ask the user to send some bitcoins or what not otherwise drop the account after a week 🙂 Delta Chat already has “burner accounts” feature, which is essentially an automatic creation of accounts via HTTPS request to URL encoded in QR-code.

This could be coupled with dynamic DNS and standard MX prioritization. Providers would handout subdomains for this purpose. There is another thread with a similar idea: > [@LAN-decentralized-no-internet setup: mDNS + SMTP-server (postfix) + delta.chat (+ IMAP-server (dovecot)?)](https://support.delta.chat/t/lan-decentralized-no-internet-setup-mdns-smtp-server-postfix-delta-chat-imap-server-dovecot/583): > > I managed to run host1 .local and host2 .local using mDNS and each participant using its own simple-lightweight SMTP mail server, some details [1] Then, now there is a possible setup-use case where you can use email in the same LAN, because thunderbird and claws mail allow to use a localhost mailbox (specifically, in file /var/mail/myuser). Next think I thought was to have a “decentralized chat” that would be possible if delta .chat manages the localhost mailbox. I tried to login with myuser@l… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.delta.chat/t/smtp-server-samotop/1177)._
