Migadu is a great service* and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a hosted email provider. I think with hosted email going the way it has been in the past several years, we need to start seeing the developer community investing in the maintenance and support of mail infrastructure which prioritizes our needs.

Not so excited about the choice of .dev, though. I don't think we need to be lending further legitimacy to Google's gTLD.

* Full disclosure: my business has a professional relationship with Migadu, but I have endorsed it since prior to our engagement.

Largely, the choice of "linux.dev" was due to LF already having ownership of "linux.dev" (via Google granting it before .dev TLD was open to the public) and it wasn't doing anything useful just sitting there.

Hmm, I checked their plans and then checked my in/out in the proxmox mail gateway setup I got in front of the mail server here, and it seems that due to lots of ML subscription the only plan suitable for me would be "Maxi" one, as I get often 3200 to 3500 mail daily, and there's just no way I go for $900 yearly for a simple mail plan.

FYI/FWIW mailbox.org allows for similar features with a good price and an ok-ish privacy-sensible jurisdiction with no such rate limits in place.
