With the metadata laws.... does anyone here have a good understanding on how we stand running our own mail servers onsite for ourselves and/or for our clients (domains owned by us and also by clients) ?

If Fastmail is not an ISP according to the law then surely anyone else who runs a mail service for their clients would not be an ISP.
Well, I am neither an ISP or a "carrier", but my servers are 100% Australian owned and operated from an AU address. I only have a micro sized business, often times business turnover will count for something in the definitions to determine what rules apply.
Now if you ran a mail server and some other service for your clients then it might be different.
I still don't know where I stand. Kind Regards AndrewM
