@maddler @sarahjamielewis even with proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, you can’t reliably send to the big providers because of volume.
That’s right: if you only average a few emails sent per day, Google can’t be sure you’re NOT a spammer, so they bin you.
You cannot make this stuff up.
@maddler @sarahjamielewis I have run my own mailserver for literal decades and email delivery is all but impossible these days, what with gmail and office365 shutting out the small players in the name of spam prevention.
Just last month my Google workspace domain was being spambinned because I used an s3 bucket to load logos in my signature.
Broken. Totally broken.
@raptor @HalvarFlake i find it immensely amusing that the elders of my youth wanted us to stop “fooling around with computers” and instead go read a book, that elders of today want everyone to learn Python, and that our parents grandparents thought constant reading was a horrible antisocial blight on society.
Noticing today people are finding out very quickly what it means to be #verified and how trusting a central authority with no remit to provide this has lead to a situation where it's now harder.
If we'd stuck with #OpenID and taught people to own their stuff then people would be able to verify themselves.
You can do that from a walled garden.
