Discussing the Misfin mail protocol
[gemini link] A new Misfin library project
💬 1 comment · 2 likes · 3 hours ago
Thoughts on the draft spec — Misfin is a nice idea, but I'm worried that it doesn't make sense to replace email with something lacking end-to-end encryption. A server on a multi-user system gets the plaintext of messages to its users. It's fine if you run the server on your own home server, but I guess that wouldn't be the typical configuration. I wonder if it would be feasible to work in a PGP-like mechanism using the same client key as in the client certificate... Some other little thoughts...

The more I think about Misfin, the more intrigued I am. After Lagrange v1.15.10 and Bubble v2 feature update, I am greatly tempted to try writing a Misfin server that runs as a GmCapsule extension.

I have started my own misfin server in Java Not very far yet, but is compatible with the Python client to receive messages at least.

I was looking at the B spec and I found the sender line a bit surprising. would we not be able to skip that and trust the sender certificate instead? The sender line could of course be verified the sender certificate but for simplicity this can be skipped entirely. I guess it could be added by the server on arrival instead or stored as metadata

I'm glad there's now an dedicated place for discussion about misfin. I've been struggling to receive messages successfully, but just this morning I did (followed by lots of errors): gemini://satch.xyz/er.txt Do you know what might be going on? I'm running simply the reference implementation without any of my modifications (for the moment).
