Lyme Log Your Message

Registered mail for email

Lyme is a platform that turns an ordinary email into a notification with legal value. Its makers call it the electronic equivalent of registered mail, aimed at massive use by governments and large corporations that send formal notices and want proof of what happened to each one.

What the proof covers

According to Lyme, a sender gets certified delivery and opening of their messages, legal proof of mailing, and a detailed log of every action taken on each email. In practice that means a record showing a message was sent, that it arrived, and that the recipient opened and read it. The service says it complies with the EU regulation on electronic identification and trust services, known as eIDAS.

Why organisations switch from post

The vendor positions Lyme against traditional postal service, claiming savings of up to 96 percent on cost and time compared with registered post, and removing the trips and queues of the post office. It also lets a sender track email messages over time. Lyme says no credit card is needed to start and that it does not spam its users.
