I’m sending through a vps and have properly set up all the things (dmarc, dkim, spf, et al).
It was years ago when I set up, but I spent some time trying to get the mail to go through (wife uses Hotmail). The rabbit hole led me to a service I could purchase that would allow the mail to go through. Many fora articles paralleled my own experiences.
I don’t send spam, and my “reputation” is good. I’ll look into it again.
This was my take, but it makes it feel creepier somehow.
Well, look to your left and there it is!
Because it hasn’t been mentioned:
IRC
Sometime also mentioned SimpleX, which I’m looking into myself, but have no experience currently.
I’ll recommend Home Assistant.
Postfix, Dovecot, MySQL (MariaDB), postgrey, spamassasin.
Tips:
I did mine before LLM’s, so I can’t comment how useful this will be, but I worry one might not understand the decisions made.
As am I. i don’t forward through anyone. All working well, but the learning process did, as you alluded to, give me white hairs.
That’s a great philosophy for cli utilities.
I think this might be the crux of the argument. Wayland is certainly not a cli utility, so there’s no need to argue if or how it impacts that environment.
I’m quite familiar with openRC, so when I was introduced to systemd, it felt quite awkward. I use both, but still prefer openRC, maybe still due to familiarity. If I’m operating in an WM or DE, it doesn’t really matter that much.
It’s been over a decade since I’ve run an ntp daemon. 😉
I’ve done that and learned a lot. Microsoft (Outlook, Hotmail) won’t accept your email without paying them, or forwarding through someone who does (proton?).
I just looked and they’ve blocked the whole IP range from the VPS provider (digital ocean in this case). I assume many vps’ have the same issue.
Sent a few messages to them so here’s hoping.
