Email Platform

Cairn

Your domain. Your infrastructure.

A cairn is the stack of stones that marks the trail — email that's yours, marking the way. Not rented. Not borrowed. Not lost if you leave.

Ownership

Most business email is rented.

Your address is on their domain. Your data lives on their servers. And the price goes up whenever they decide it should. Switch providers and your history goes with you — if they'll let you take it.

The renting problem

The Mail

Where work arrives.

A full webmail client at your domain. Threads, search, filters, and the AI triage tools you'd expect from a modern inbox — with everything running on your infrastructure.

Deliverability

Self-hosted doesn't mean ending up in spam.

, , and — the three authentication records that tell every inbox your mail is real — configured and managed. Sending rails run through verified infrastructure with strong reputation scores. Mail that actually lands.

We run the email machinery.
Your mail on your infrastructure.

Not software you configure and maintain — we handle the DNS, the server, the deliverability, and the monitoring. Your mail still lands in your inbox; your domain, your contacts, and your send reputation stay yours. We keep the infrastructure running at a flat monthly price; you just use it.
