Couldn't the NSA easily tap this server? The email is only encrypted at rest. The datacenter is in Dallas, TX.
About time to update that VMWare install - http://status.lavabit.com/export/graphs/graph_401_4.png
Does anyone know if you can use Lavabit with your own domain?
you can.
You need to get a paid account then email them to ask them to set it up; there's no web interface to add a domain as you would on eg fastmail.

They're an American company with an American hosting provider. Only pro accounts use the encrypted email feature set.
