The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) has a email service for @mail.i2p mailboxes that work internally in the I2P network and is used there. Is there a way for Codeberg to support adding these mailboxes the same way git.community.i2p did it?

If we add support for them, then people can use @mail.i2p instead of @i2pmail.org as their email for commits.

Although I find the concept of supporting I2P super interesting, I'd say that - although there's no way you could've known in advance - this is the wrong place / way to request it.

Particularly the lack of software support for specifically supporting a non-clearnet domain, lack of a concept / design as well as the lack of manpower is why I'd say that this is out of scope for us.

There's no configuration that lets us use an SMTP account with specific proxy settings based on the email address that the user supplied, for example. This is much simpler with a VM whose traffic is entirely routed over .i2p, uses an .i2p domain and can easily connect to an .i2p email service for the time being.

We'd have to wait to see how we'd do this with, say, Tor first - which has all of the problems mentioned above. But even if that's out of the way, the manpower would be the biggest problem.
