Data resilience comes down to a principle our CEO, Bron Gondwana, wrote over ten years ago: the primary copy is gold. Back it up, replicate it. In April, it got tested. A bug wiped mailboxes for 8 accounts. Backups brought everything back. The write-up covers what broke. #Fastmail #Cyrus

Fastmail data can now live primarily in the EU, on servers our own engineers set up in Amsterdam. Current customers can switch in settings; new accounts pick a region at signup. 

 Our CEO Bron's post walks through exactly what lives where.

Friday is SysAdmin Day. The best part of our Platform lead's post on it: the work is invisible on purpose. We run our own servers, networks, and DNS, so when something breaks, someone here just walks over and fixes it. www.fastmail.com/blog/system-... #SysAdminDay #Fastmail #EmailMadeBetter #Email

Email authentication is following the path HTTPS took: best practice, then expectation, then infrastructure you assume is there. As AI starts actioning our inboxes, SPF, DKIM and DMARC become the layer we lean on. www.fastmail.com/blog/the-fut... #NationalEmailWeek #Fastmail

"Sender address rejected, SPF Failed, not authorised." If you've ever opened a bounce and felt your stomach drop, this one's for you. Merlin shares what to send us so we can fix it fast, with an example from 11 years of support. Read more: www.fastmail.com/blog/a-suppo... #Fastmail #Email #Support

For #PrivacyAwarenessWeek2026 and #SmallBusinessWeek, our COO Bek Fraser reflects on running a consultancy. "My clients trusted me with deeply sensitive information. I went with a mainstream provider because I didn't know what I didn't know." www.fastmail.com/blog/what-i-... #Fastmail #PAW2026

Privacy Awareness Week's theme is building trust when complaints get resolved. True, but it starts earlier. Whether you scan customers' mail. Sell their data. Build for them or for shareholders. You're the customer, not the product. www.fastmail.com/blog/privacy... #Fastmail #PAW2026

New for National Email Day: an MCP endpoint at api.fastmail.com/mcp. Opt-in, OAuth-gated, three permission levels: read-only, write, send. Read more: www.fastmail.com/blog/an-mcp-... #NationalEmailDay #MCP #OpenStandards #Fastmail #EmailPrivacy #BetterEmail
