Is everything at mailbox.org open source?

Curious to know what parts are open source (client, server) and where that code is viewable.

Mailsystems (Postfix, Dovecot, Anti-Spam-Engines) are common known open source software, available on every linux distribution.


Webmail-System/*DAV-Server are also open source software, available from Open Xchange.


Internal backend infrastructure ("Glue", internal API-Server, backup scripts, maintenance scripts, anti abuse detection systems, process logic) are developed by us and not open source.

Thank you! Are there plans to open source the "Glue"?

Hello, are there plans towards having mailbox.org being fsf approved? Do you believe providing transparency on how mailbox.org operates via it's source code would solidify the marketing for privacy? AFAIK it's just the Javascript used to register and use the system <https://www.fsf.org/resources/webmail-systems>; that's causing this issue.
