@dsigurds @jsphpl Usually in the context of emails, I think of metadata referring to what an email server can see in the headers. We monitor and remove from blacklists IPs that are assigned to gateways. And yes, we will provide support for the scenario that you described.

@jsphpl Yes, they are air gapped with a signing ceremony that requires the coordination of more than 1 designated employee.

@dsigurds @jsphpl Yes - we will be monitoring blacklists for IP addresses used by Helm customers. Spammers can spam much more cheaply and cost effectively than buying a Helm. That said, we are planning a rate limiting feature that will be high enough to not bother consumers/SMBs but low enough to make it entirely uninteresting to spammers. We can't see metadata for email coming in and out over TLS which is the vast majority of all email today. Our privacy policy is on our website - https://thehelm.com/pages/legal. The clause you pointed to just indicates that if we make any updates to the terms, we will make them available to the buyer. I would also argue that this is furthering decentralization in a meaningful way. The applications and data live with the user. The infrastructure that you mention isn't all that different from infrastructure you get from your ISP. I suppose this is a matter of opinion, but that's what we believe.
