"Invalid email domain"

[comomberchese]

Tried to register and the app gives this message.

What email domains can I register from and why are there any restrictions?

[TheRedSpy15]

Currently only gmail.com, outlook.com, yahoo.com, aol.com, pm.me, protonmail.com, and skiff.com are allowed

This is to make it much more difficult for someone to use a service like https://tempail.com/ and abuse the free storage limit, since email verification hardly cuts down on this. I also want to prevent people from abusing the sharing capability of the app and spam account creation to host malware

Which domain were you trying to use? if it isn't self hosted or a burner I will added it to the whitelist

[gitmeED331]

Seems rather counter-intuitive.

In doing this, you also reject people that have their own personal domains.

Also, the proton.me domain does not work.

I wanted to check this out, but can't since I can't register. Still on the hint for something truly works.

I do hope you add some help documentation on this domain rejection, along with other help docs and FAQ.

speaking of personal domains, would be cool if you whitelisted *.ohaa.xyz

[TheRedSpy15]

@gitmeED331 Just added proton.me to the whitelist. Make sure you're using 1.2.1 or newer

Unfortunately the playstore is still on 1.2.0, but that should change within a few hours

In the next update I'll be adding an explanation dialog at signup if your domain was rejected. I also scheduled adding more documentation after the holidays

@OhaDerErste I'll add it now

EDIT: I added ohaa.xyz, however the backend uses pocketbase for authentication and doesn't out of the box support wildcards. I'll have to tweak it manually, so it maybe a short while

Moving forward, I'll be implementing a way for users to request a domain be added to the whitelist

[OhaDerErste]

that seems a bit agressive. would rather do a blacklist of bad mail domains instead of a whitelist

There simply is too many domains to keep track of, and new ones constantly. With the overwhelming majority using one of the allowed providers. It simply makes more sense to prioritize security in this situation

I'd also like to provide an update here. I am currently adding:

• icloud.com
• hotmail.com
• yandex.com
• zoho.com
• mail.com
• gmx.com

to the whitelist on the backend. The mobile app currently does not dynamically update its allowed domains. So that will be addressed in the next update. However the changes will be immediate for the web portal

[OhaDerErste]

you should also add tutanota.com, tuta.com, tuta.de, tutanota.de and tuta.io

👍

[TheRedSpy15]

I also added keemail.com as that seems to be the same provider

[TheRedSpy15]

For future reference, allowed email domains can be viewed live here: https://pb.blazedcloud.com/config/emails

[comomberchese]

Add these providers:

murena.io
seznam.cz
eclipso.de
skymail.de

This is a list of email providers from deltachat. I think it will be useful to add to your list:

[TheRedSpy15]

I'll add now

Update

As of June 18th, 2024: I have disabled the email whitelisting and all providers are now allowed
