New blogpost: "Configuring dovecot as a separate mail server for encrypted email storage, and fighting with Thunderbird to accept it"
I woke up far too early this morning, so I thought I'd write up a small project I undertook a few months back, as part of my decoded.legal ISO-27001-ish programme.
It was pretty straightforward, right up until I had to fight with Thunderbird, and wow was Thunderbird a complete pain here. But I won!
