Which email provider handles your municipality's official communications?
We built mxmap.nl to make that visible, all Dutch municipalities, mapped by email provider based on public DNS records.
Inspired by the Swiss original mxmap.ch by David Huser. We adapted it for the Netherlands. All credit for the concept goes to him.Under the CLOUD Act, provider location matters. The map makes the current reality clear.

@soverin I would love to see in Thunderbird where a Mailserver is hosted. This is important to judge if I can (or want to) share sensitive Information.
But I can't find an extension that does this.

@soverin this is concerning, the location of the netherlands is definitely not supposed to be in the middle of the ocean. Is everything OK over there?

@simonwilliamson @soverin Terneuzen, Heerenveen, Tytsjerksteradiel, De Fryske Marren, and Datumadiel all use a Microsoft MX. So do Rozendaal, Etten-Leur, and Albrandswaard, the other greyed-out municipalities.

@Lyude I would be more concerned if the rest of the world was visible and the Netherlands had sunk… we spend good money on those dykes and I want them to work.

@soverin @jwildeboer I just found https://mx-map.de/ after seeing this, and was ... quite surprised that the situation wasn't nearly as bad as I expected!

@soverin Ohhh .... Wat een goed idee: verhuizen naar Apeldoorn!
Ooit ruim een jaar (achteraf gezien veel te kort) gewoond.

@larsmb @soverin @jwildeboer what a great project. Seems like I'll have to ask some questions in our Rathaus.

@larsmb @soverin @jwildeboer hey, this made my day! Germany has apparently had quite a few it wizards able to setup their own mail systems.

@soverin Interesting to see that Den Haag is independent. Not shocking that Microslop runs the majority.
@Roodbaard @soverin The map just shows what's visible on the outside. "Independent" in this case means that Den Haag itself owns the IP addresses of the email server. Apeldoorn's email server has an IP address owned by VodafoneZiggo B2B NL. It says nothing about if and how email is routed after it's accepted.
Besides, it's plausible that those municipalities have a Microsoft 365 subscription, because there are "Microsoft Online Email Routing Addresses" (MOERA) with the names denhaag.onmicrosoft.com and apeldoorn.onmicrosoft.com. It's not rock hard proof (those MOERAs could point to tenants belonging to anything else than those municipalities, and they could even be alias MOERAs, and there are licenses that don't really include Outlook 365, and you don't have to route your email through Microsoft 365, etc.), but it doesn't bode well.
If you look at public records, you can see that Den Haag acknowledges its infrastructure is Microsoft-based (see section 5.4 of https://denhaag.raadsinformatie.nl/document/16421637/1 on page 40), and Apeldoorn reports that they're integrating Copilot into their email software (see the paragraph on "Kunstmatige intelligentie: kansen verantwoord benutten" of https://apeldoorn.parlaeus.nl/vji/public/postin/action=showdoc/gd=2a8880888a8a20a002a20a08e3f23646/Raadsbrief_iVisie.pdf on page 3).

The Netherlands and Germany are leading the push for data sovereignty, with the EU setting the pace overall. We actually did something similar with African universities a few years ago.
You must have already imagined which Big Tech providers lead and where such data eventually reside, so no need to revisit the details.

@soverin when you want a clickable link you have to add https:// in front. This doesn’t count for your message limit.
