It most definitely gives me clarity and confidence in the project! I'm very happy to hear rejections from VC funding. A few hundred enterprise clients is not a small amount at all for a bootstrapped project.

Unsolicited advice from an anonymous entity online ;): Put this information on the website! It hopefully removes any trust issues that people might have (I believe I'm not the only one), it did for me!

I wish you all the best on your endeavors, I'm excited to see what you bring in the future <3

I feel you as I also value my privacy however i believe there is a difference between anonymity and privacy: a completely unknown entity and a person which personal life is not on the internet. There is a lot of trust involved especially with something as important as an email server which is extremely important for businesses.

It's this and the project being maintained by a solo developer (unless it's a pseudonym for multiple people :D) that makes me not want to personally rely on it.

I'm not only here to complain though, it's an awesome project and I find it really impressive for someone to build a mailserver (and other features) from scratch. Thank you for investing time in open source implementations of protocols that run the world.

Follow up questions: What are the thoughts about enterprise and business support? I see that it exists but I believe there is a lot of trust involved ^^. Will there be more developers, open source, knowing the people behind the project and or support people? Do you have any customers today?

I’ve always found stalwart interesting but have been a bit sceptical due to the main developer being quite anonymous. It seems that there is a company behind it as well "Stalwart Labs" but I cannot find information about it either, no linkedin and no people. I might just be used to openess as in devs not being anonymous though.
