All these "safety features" for mail and nothing seems to be able to stop spam. SPF? DKIM? DNSSEC? Everything fails because it's just too hard for everyone to properly self-host and E2E encrypt mail.
I only communicate with friends by Matrix.org, I'm sad that there's no simple mail equivalent. PGP is still a massive failure because big mail providers don't want it and people don't care.
A matrix client that looks like an email one would be awesome, it probably could replace it for registrations if enough web sites start to adopt it.
So deltaChat in reverse 🤔
