Emergency Chatmail Relay Migration

The chat.vim.wtf chatmail relay was impacted by outbound SMTP rate-limiting imposed by the hosting provider, resulting in significant delays in message delivery.

The new server will cost me about an extra dollar per month but should ensure long-term reliability of the service.
