It hosts these mailinglists, so yes it has :-). It runs postfix as the
MTA, and as it also runs dovecot as an MDA, it is possible to have real
email accounts @secretchronicles.de with IMAP access and Sieve
filtering. Currently nobody uses that facility, though; if that doesn’t
change, we ought to remove the dovecot daemon. Mailing lists are managed
by mlmmj + MHonArc in conjunction with postfix.

SSL is a good idea, but we’ll at least need a wildcard cert
*.secretchronicles.de due to the many subdomains we have. I heard of
letsencrypt before, but I was under the impression it wants to
automatically rewrite your apache config, which I think is not a good
idea (we have a complex reverse proxy setup for the forum for
example). If one can just use it as a CA, then it’s fine.
