There is a privacy agreement, the question is whether you like it. >From a privacy perspective, the move from self-hosted mail service to an external managed service might not be a regression. Few universities can afford the required resources to run secure mail servers and detect compromised user accounts. It's a complex trade-off. I also don't think this has to do much with free software, so it's probably off-topic for this list. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
