But trying it for yourself will just be a few sats ;-)

2026-09-15 16:23:12 UTC

In the past few weeks, LNemail has gotten a few improvements:
* First sent email for free (easier onboarding and testing, also nice for one-off accounts)
* Uptime and reliability
* Passkey login
* Plus addresses (user+something@lnemail.net goes to user@lnemail.net)
* Local storage of sent emails (the server doesn't keep your sent emails)
* UI improvements
Still Bitcoin only, and the price hasn't changed. 1,000 sats per year per account. And don't forget to try the browser extension for managing several accounts, with auto fill and optional automatic NWC based renewals: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lnemail/
If you haven't tried it yet: https://lnemail.net/

2026-08-20 14:10:29 UTC

We're one of the few online services priced in Bitcoin. Just 1,000 sats per year for each anonymous email account!
https://lnemail.net/
Don't forget about the browser extension if you want to keep track of your accounts and get new ones instantly with background payments using NWC on your browser.
Harder to make this cheaper, or more private, or more secure.

2026-08-10 19:40:39 UTC

Apart from the new browser extension with form autofill and NWC payments, you can now log in to LNemail with a passkey.

2026-07-31 20:51:14 UTC

We're releasing a browser extension to make it easier to sign up to places with privacy. And keep track of your existing accounts.
Images are worth more than words:

Basically auto filling with a fresh new account on sign ups, keeping track of what account was used were. Automated payments and renewals with NWC with your limits. And a single place to check all accounts at once.
You can also import your existing accounts. And export all accounts anytime.
Try it today on Firefox or Chromium based browsers, also on mobile.

We had some downtime today, sorry for the inconvenience.
We self host the server handling the emails and the payments. And we use a VPS from a privacy friendly company (@nprofile…3j25 ) in front of it.
This means it's very hard for anyone to get your emails, and trust is as minimized as it can technically be.
But whenever the VPS fails or our self hosted server needs maintenance, there is downtime. At least you now know that it's for a good reason.
Thanks for your support!

It's back now, sorry for the inconvenience.

LNemail improvements just dropped:
- Recover token option from the inbox page.
- Simpler token format. Easier to store and without potentially confusing charcaters (l I). Example: lne_17Z1E-1V87W-VNGCH-KW9BD-3ENE2 (Crockford Base 32).
- Improved login/sign up flow so that password managers automatically suggest to store email and token.
Thanks to all for the ideas!

Actually GMail has never rejected emails from our domain or labeled them as spam. But other providers that check spamhaus.org do. We are listed there just because the IP range has low reputation, and they didn't give any possibility to unlist us without changing that. Even if our domain or IP had nothing "wrong".

2026-04-13 06:31:13 UTC

- reply

We actually have done all that's possible! See nevent1qqsp7pastaynkneups7wmdpf6gvxfmx8ksm7pyf7y6tv8g44nxkx8fg9xfqw3 But some providers still ban/flag by default anything coming from smaller ones.
The IP block reputation could be better, but we really like @nprofile…3j25 and haven't found a provider of similar characteristics.
If you have any ideas, please let us know.

2026-04-13 06:26:22 UTC

Our VPS provider will do maintenance that will affect LNemail's availability.
The maintenance window is scheduled for April 17, 2026, from 12:00 to 15:00 CET

They might be your provider's IPs. In any case, all we know is that the simple request `curl -v https://lnemail.net` does not work from LNVPS machines but does work from everywhere else. So there is a problem, just can't tell you what it is exactly. Any ideas?

@nprofile…04za this still doesn't work.
MTR from an external server to our VM reaches your internal routers successfully but then hits a dead end inside your network:
```
5.|-- 185.116.108.126 0.0% ← your router
6.|-- 185.116.108.137 0.0% ← your router
7.|-- ??? 100.0% ← dropped inside your network
```
Separately, MTR from our VM outbound shows 25–45% packet loss at hops 7–8 through Hurricane Electric (195.66.224.21, 184.104.197.185) toward the same destination range. Inbound packets reach your network but are not delivered to the VM. Please investigate internal routing and your HE peering toward 94.156.119.0/24.
FYI @nprofile…3j25

Undergoing some maintenance, we'll be right back!

@nprofile…04za there's a networking issue affecting LNVPS instances that's blocking connectivity to several external hosts.
Root cause: ICMP "Fragmentation Needed" messages (type 3, code 4) are being dropped before reaching tenant VMs, breaking Path MTU Discovery (PMTUD).
Details:
- LNVPS VMs have an effective path MTU of 1450, not 1500
- When a VM sends packets exceeding this MTU, the network correctly drops them, but never sends back the ICMP type 3/code 4 "Fragmentation Needed" response that TCP relies on to detect the limit
- Without these ICMP messages, TCP sessions stall or reset when talking to peers with MTU < 1500 (e.g. during large downloads or `iperf -R`)
- The filter appears to be somewhere between the hypervisor uplink and the VM's `eth0`, likely at the VXLAN/GRE tunnel layer or upstream border
Reproduced via:
```
ping -M do -s 1422 94.156.119.69 → 4/4 received (within MTU)
ping -M do -s 1423 94.156.119.69 → 0/4 received (exceeds MTU, silently dropped)
tcpdump 'icmp[0] == 3' during probe → 0 packets (no ICMP unreachables arriving at eth0)
```
You can reproduce this directly: `curl -v https://deb.debian.org/debian/extrafiles` from any LNVPS machine will stall. `apt` on Debian is broken for the same reason.
Fix (either of):
1. Allow ICMP type 3 code 4 through to tenant VMs
2. Configure MSS clamping at the hypervisor level for all tenant VMs on this host
This is what's preventing OpenClaw instances from reaching LNemail, and many other places!

Our VPS provider has small outages from time to time. We monitor the service and are aware of the downtime.
If it ever lasts too long please ping us!

2025-09-09 10:04:04 UTC

If you forgot to copy your access token when creating an LNemail account, don't worry!
**There are several ways to get your access token:**
1. From the LN invoice memo
2. Run `localStorage.getItem('lnemail_access_token')` in browser console (right-click page > inspect > console > paste & enter)
3. Check API requests in Network tab - look for Authorization header after `Bearer `
The token is safely stored in your browser's local storage. It's not a cookie that expires so you will always be able to login with that browser as long as you don't delete the site data.

Working now, thanks for the warning.
Must have been sporadic downtime. The service is monitored and we get notified whenever something is down.
Currently at 99.93% uptime for the last 30 days.

Good idea!
Automatically after some time or just a button next to each email to manually click on? I'm guessing the latter but just to be sure.

There seems to be a networking problem at @npub1y69…wae6 (our VPS provider).

100 sats per message sent. The service is mostly oriented for signing up to places or have a “burner phone” private email address.
We'll see how the service evolves. Maybe people want a regular email with IMAP/POP3 and a subscription or maybe something like this is enough.
For now, this is an easy way of preventing service abuse for sending spam.

2025-06-01 19:49:28 UTC

Two great news:
- Added support for SENDING emails.
- LNemail is now officially out of beta. Stable and monitored.
Thanks you all for your ideas and support. Enjoy the service!

2025-05-25 20:52:00 UTC

LNemail is now open source! https://github.com/lnemail/lnemail
There is a pretty cool development environment that sets up a Bitcoin node with a testnet, mines, and funds some lightning nodes to be able to test payments during development. Apart from the actual LNemail server stack and mail server.
More improvements to come soon™. Check the issues to see what's next.

Nice. In any case I'll set up better monitoring to maintain high uptime before going out of the Beta stage.

I didn't know that, thanks for the info.
This would then mean becoming a full-fledged email provider, but that's OK if there's the demand for it.
As a user, do you prefer a “premium” account that grants you unlimited IMAP access for receiving and sending. Or just the option in the “standard” account to pay for sending each time from the web UI?
Thanks a lot for your input BTW!

Proton or Tuta offer full no-KYC email accounts for free. Limited to one free account per individual by their T&C. It takes a few more clicks to create one and they are harder to automate (creation and usage). But they are probably better if you plan on using them regularly.
Do you think sending emails from LNemail still make sense anyway?

2025-05-19 06:07:22 UTC

- reply

Thanks for the suggestion!
The server is technically ready for sending emails, and a small sats payment per email could deter spam.
But it would shift LNemail from a disposable inbox to a more full-featured email service though, which wasn't the original focus.
Did you have a specific use case in mind for sending?

2025-05-18 17:34:39 UTC

LNemail just launched! - a private inbox that lasts 1 year for 1,000 sats (renewable).
Features:
- No personal info required
- Plain text emails only (no HTML/attachments)
- Access via web or API
- Receive-only inbox
Perfect for account verification, 2FA, and newsletter subscriptions without the 10-minute limitation of other disposable services.
