Avoid being an open relay indeed. Some background information : https://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.html#relay But with the defaults in postfix you should be fine unless you made a lot of changes and made a mistake in it.

It is possible to have 2FA with a security key and ssh. Been on my to do list for some time to try it.
I've tried Snikket a few years ago. Nice project. 👍
openSUSE has German origins, but was bought in the past by Novell in USA, then went into other USA hands, and then it was sold to a Swedish company's German sub division, and located in Luxembourg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_S.A.
Thanks for mentioning this.

The government modified the regulations again, substantially loosening them, and Bernstein, now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, challenged them again. This time, he chose to represent himself, although he had no formal legal training. On October 15, 2003, almost nine years after Bernstein first brought the case, the judge dismissed it and asked Bernstein to come back when the government made a "concrete threat".
Compile it yourself! File a bug report with the software developer! (I'm just the messenger of this post) I've shared the web link of the project for people who dislike having too many Electron based applications on their computer, like people using older hardware. You may be fine with the Electron based one, screen shots of that here : https://delta.chat/en/
Ask yourself a few questions first before following the massive amount of suggestions and then locking yourself out and so on.
- What are you worried about ?
- How important is your stuff ?
- Make backups and check them
Still worried ? Then there's the easy way out : Hire some security auditor to help you find holes you left.
So if I help someone in Sudan, Syria or Iran to install Debian GNU/Linux I can be arrested by means of USA law, right ?
I've compiled kdeltachat yesterday and it is different from the default Electron based Deltachat desktop app. At startup it immediately shows a big configuration screen inviting the user to fill in email address, SMTP port and a lot more text fields. The default Deltachat app looks polished and much nicer for "normies". Ignoring and closing that configuration part and it looks like a simple Qt app without much colors so I guess it the app is a work in progress. Maybe I'll provide some screen shots later.
If you manage to get a good SMTP relay host or authenticated SMTP account for your outgoing email then playing around with small scale self hosting email (Granted that it is not your important daily driver email accounts) can be an interesting and fun experience. But you will have to invest some time reading and tweaking and figuring things out. Slightly comparable with installing Arch Linux. Lots of people will warn you to not do it but you might learn a few valuable things on the way there.
