Suggestion: Contact forms in our websites
 
I see that many email companies are offering to their members owning some domain the possibility to add a "contact form" in their websites, and so they can receive emails end-to-end encrypted directly (tutanota, hushmail, etc)
I'd like to see something like that with Fastmail too.

I wasn't aware that "many email companies" offer this option.

You've quoted Tutanota and Hushmail, and I've looked at both offerings and they're expensive add-ons.

Can you advise some of the other "many email companies"?

So, donīt you have an opinion if you have a domain, a website and "maybe" would like something like that?, or do you consider it a nonsense?. If thatīs your answer please avoid this question. Thanks.

I saw it before but I canīt remember in what other companies. Maybe posting "many" was excessive.

I misunderstood your question.

I've never come across this before, but on the face of it, it sounds like an excellent idea.
Were Fastmail to offer this service, I would use it.

From Support:
 
Using the information you provided (thanks again), I've created a task for our developers to evaluate the impact of adding a section for generating and managing Contact Forms to the FastMail interface. I definitely see how this could be a useful feature for our users who maintain websites at their personal domains.

I'd be happy to pass along any comments or updates.

No problem. Thank you Berenburger.

I hope that Fastmail investigates this concept. I can imagine some uses:
  • Comment form on a website: Many websites have a method for sending in a comment (or registering for something) by filling in a web form. Fastmail might provide some server-side features for member websites which would process entries in such forms to create an automatic email to your account, automatically create a note, or in some other manner collect such web form entries. It would also be nice if such automatic emails or notes could be scanned and analyzed, for example to let you create polls or create a signup list for an event in a CSV file.
  • Normally there is no direct method of verifying the true identity of someone filling in such a form on your website, so a bad agent could send you spam or overload your Inbox in this way. So you would want some method of rate limiting inputs from a particular IP address.
  • You could come up with a method of sharing a secret to verify the identity of the sender, but again they could just get a Fastmail account and send you an email directly and the contents would be securely contained within the Fastmail system and so would be secure.
