I have something to say against Lavabit: Since long time ago it is a mailbox
at the end of an unknown road, so you cannot contact them. In
https://lavabit.com/contact.html
you can read
"The friendly engineer whose been answering your questions has moved onto a
more profitable endeavor; and were afraid that doesn't leave anybody
available to monitor the suggestion box. The rest of our team is hard at work
finishing a new version of our mail platform. So while we push towards a
launch date and search for the right person to take over as spokesperson,
we'll just have to disable this contact form.
If your one of our corporate customers with a service line agreement and you
need to get a message to us, you can always contact the support engineer
assigned to your account. Their contact information is on the escalation list
we provided!"
The first paragraph remains (although I think it has been slightly modified)
for long time ago (one/two year(s)?). And I don't understand what is talking
about the second paragraph.
It wouldn't be a problem if you don't have other problems, but 3 different
lavabit's accounts (one is owned by a friend of mine) have been blacklisted
and we cannot do anything, anything obvious at least, for changing it. While
my main lavabit account works perfectly, every other one cannot be used from
Evolution, since it is reported
"Failed RCPT TO : The IP address $current_IP has been listed on a realtime
blacklist, and the user $email_address_you_wrote has elected to enforce
blacklists."
nevermind which is $email_address_you_wrote and where are you connected to
internet. So this message is false, because, if not, I have the power of
blacklisting every internet connection I wish. Also I'd be able to
unblacklist it, since I can send emails to the same $email_address_you_wrote
from my main lavabit account.
Probably, the origin of this fact was the day I installed a Tor relay at home
in "free access to IP of my internet connection for everyone"-mode, so the IP
was listed and lavabit (and everyone) could match that list and considered
that various addresses going out though that IP is a suspicious (false in my
case).
I tried contacting with them through the "report abuse" section (the only one
way I knew to ping them) but no one answered.
So, I'm blacklisted and without support. Luckily, I can always use the
webmail without problems, so the email accounts are not totally invalid, but
it is a pain.
