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.

Couldn't the NSA easily tap this server? The email is only encrypted at rest. The datacenter is in Dallas, TX.

I've had a 4 char account for years - never did it because they were inherently secure though.

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

Here's Lavabit's whitepaper on their process - pretty standard setup: http://lavabit.com/secure.html
