  <pre>public-inbox - an "archives first" approach to mailing lists
 ------------------------------------------------------------

 public-inbox implements the sharing of an email inbox via git to
 complement or replace traditional mailing lists.  Readers may
 read via NNTP, IMAP, POP3, Atom feeds or HTML archives.

 public-inbox spawned around three main ideas:

 * Publicly accessible and archived communication is essential to
  Free Software development.

 * Contributing to Free Software projects should not require the
  use of non-Free services or software.

 * Graphical user interfaces should not be required for text-based
  communication.  Users may have broken graphics drivers, limited
  eyesight, or be unable to afford modern hardware.

 public-inbox aims to be easy-to-deploy and manage; encouraging projects
 to run their own instances with minimal overhead.

 Implementation
 --------------

 public-inbox stores mail in git repositories as documented
 in <a href="https://public-inbox.org/public-inbox-v2-format.txt">https://public-inbox.org/public-inbox-v2-format.txt</a> and
 <a href="https://public-inbox.org/public-inbox-v1-format.txt">https://public-inbox.org/public-inbox-v1-format.txt</a>

 By storing (and optionally) exposing an inbox via git, it is
 fast and efficient to host and mirror public-inboxes.

 Traditional mailing lists use the "push" model.  For readers,
 that requires commitment to subscribe and effort to unsubscribe.
 New readers may also have difficulty following existing
 discussions if archives do not expose Message-ID and References
 headers.  List server admins are also burdened with delivery
 failures.

 public-inbox uses the "pull" model.  Casual readers may
 follow the list via NNTP, IMAP, POP3, Atom feed or HTML archives.

 If a reader loses interest, they simply stop following.

 Since we use git, mirrors are easy-to-setup, and lists are
 easy-to-relocate to different mail addresses without losing
 or splitting archives.

 _Anybody_ may also setup a delivery-only mailing list server to
 replay a public-inbox git archive to subscribers via SMTP.

 Features
 --------

 * anybody may participate via plain-text email

 * stores email in git, readers may have a complete archive of the inbox

 * Atom feed, IMAP, NNTP, POP3 allows casual readers to follow via local tools

 * uses only well-documented and easy-to-implement data formats

 Try it out now, see <a href="https://try.public-inbox.org/">https://try.public-inbox.org/</a>

 Requirements for reading:

 * any software capable of IMAP, NNTP, POP3 or following Atom feeds

 Any basic web browser will do for the HTML archives.
 We primarily develop on w3m to maximize accessibility.

 Requirements (participant)
 --------------------------

 * any MUA which may send text-only emails ("git send-email" works!)
  Users are strongly encouraged to use the "reply-all" feature of
  their mailers to reduce the impact of a public-inbox as a
  single point of failure.

 * The HTTP web interface exposes mboxrd files, and NNTP clients often
  feature reply-by-email functionality

 * participants do not need to install public-inbox, only server admins

 Requirements (server)
 ---------------------

 See below for contact info.

 Contact
 -------

 We are happy to see feedback of all types via plain-text email.
 public-inbox discussion is self-hosting on public-inbox.org
 Please send comments, user/developer discussion, patches, bug reports,
 and pull requests to our public-inbox address at:

    meta@public-inbox.org

 Please Cc: all recipients when replying as we do not require
 subscription.  This also makes it easier to rope in folks of
 tangentially related projects we depend on (e.g. git developers
 on git@vger.kernel.org).

 The archives are readable via IMAP, NNTP or HTTP:

    <a href="nntps://news.public-inbox.org/inbox.comp.mail.public-inbox.meta">nntps://news.public-inbox.org/inbox.comp.mail.public-inbox.meta</a>
    imaps://;AUTH=ANONYMOUS@public-inbox.org/inbox.comp.mail.public-inbox.meta.0
    <a href="https://public-inbox.org/meta/">https://public-inbox.org/meta/</a>

 AUTH=ANONYMOUS is recommended for IMAP, but any username + password works

 And as Tor hidden services:

    <a href="http://4uok3hntl7oi7b4uf4rtfwefqeexfzil2w6kgk2jn5z2f764irre7byd.onion/meta/">http://4uok3hntl7oi7b4uf4rtfwefqeexfzil2w6kgk2jn5z2f764irre7byd.onion/meta/</a>
    <a href="nntp://4uok3hntl7oi7b4uf4rtfwefqeexfzil2w6kgk2jn5z2f764irre7byd.onion/inbox.comp.mail.public-inbox.meta">nntp://4uok3hntl7oi7b4uf4rtfwefqeexfzil2w6kgk2jn5z2f764irre7byd.onion/inbox.comp.mail.public-inbox.meta</a>

 You may also clone all messages via git:

    git clone --mirror <a href="https://public-inbox.org/meta/">https://public-inbox.org/meta/</a>
    torsocks git clone --mirror <a href="http://4uok3hntl7oi7b4uf4rtfwefqeexfzil2w6kgk2jn5z2f764irre7byd.onion/meta/">http://4uok3hntl7oi7b4uf4rtfwefqeexfzil2w6kgk2jn5z2f764irre7byd.onion/meta/</a>

 POP3 access instructions are at:

    <a href="https://public-inbox.org/meta/_/text/help/#pop3">https://public-inbox.org/meta/_/text/help/#pop3</a>

 Anti-Spam
 ---------

 The maintainer of public-inbox has found SpamAssassin a good tool for
 filtering his personal mail, and it will be the default spam filtering
 tool in public-inbox.

 See <a href="https://public-inbox.org/dc-dlvr-spam-flow.html">https://public-inbox.org/dc-dlvr-spam-flow.html</a> for more info.

 Content Filtering
 -----------------

 To discourage phishing, trackers, exploits and other nuisances,
 only plain-text emails are allowed and HTML is rejected by default.
 This improves accessibility, and saves bandwidth and storage
 as mail is archived forever.

 As of the 2010s, successful online social networks and forums are the
 ones which heavily restrict users formatting options; so public-inbox
 aims to preserve the focus on content, and not presentation.

 Anti-Spam
 ---------

 The maintainer of public-inbox has found SpamAssassin a good tool for
 filtering his personal mail, and it will be the default spam filtering
 tool in public-inbox.

 See <a href="https://public-inbox.org/dc-dlvr-spam-flow.html">https://public-inbox.org/dc-dlvr-spam-flow.html</a> for more info.

 Content Filtering
 -----------------

 To discourage phishing, trackers, exploits and other nuisances,
 only plain-text emails are allowed and HTML is rejected by default.
 This improves accessibility, and saves bandwidth and storage
 as mail is archived forever.

 As of the 2010s, successful online social networks and forums are the
 ones which heavily restrict users formatting options; so public-inbox
 aims to preserve the focus on content, and not presentation.

  <p>A post from Jason Velazquez called “<a href="https://www.fromjason.xyz/p/notebook/where-have-all-the-websites-gone/">Where have all the websites gone?</a>” crossed my socials. It’s a good lament about the dearth of interesting content on the internet and how we’re stuck in the same boring content silos.</p>
 <p>The question reminded me of a song by Pete Seeger called “<em>Where have all the flowers gone?</em>” In the song Pete wonders aloud about the flowers now missing from the field…</p>
