				<title>Spam Abuse of the Mail Service</title>

				<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update (2026):&lt;/strong&gt; Self-registration was never reopened. Accounts are handed out&#xA;personally instead, which suits a service for friends rather well. If you would like&#xA;one, just &lt;a href=&#34;https://trustserv.de/disclaimer/&#34; &gt;ask&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;what-happened&#34;&gt;&#xA;  What happened?&#xA;  &lt;a class=&#34;heading-link&#34; href=&#34;#what-happened&#34;&gt;&#xA;    &lt;i class=&#34;fa-solid fa-link&#34; aria-hidden=&#34;true&#34; title=&#34;Link to heading&#34;&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&#xA;    &lt;span class=&#34;sr-only&#34;&gt;Link to heading&lt;/span&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m very sorry to everyone who received unwanted mail as a result of spam sent through&#xA;this service. Someone registered several mail accounts and abused them to send&#xA;unsolicited messages.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;what-i-did&#34;&gt;&#xA;  What I did&#xA;  &lt;a class=&#34;heading-link&#34; href=&#34;#what-i-did&#34;&gt;&#xA;    &lt;i class=&#34;fa-solid fa-link&#34; aria-hidden=&#34;true&#34; title=&#34;Link to heading&#34;&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&#xA;    &lt;span class=&#34;sr-only&#34;&gt;Link to heading&lt;/span&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Self-registration has been temporarily disabled while I look into the issue and work on&#xA;additional safeguards. I want to be confident that the service cannot easily be abused&#xA;for spam before opening registration again.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
