@bojkotiMalbona @diebarschlampe nodds in agreement

Personally, I'd love to start an #eMail provider that literally bans all #unencryped (aka. not #PGP/MIME-encrypted) #eMails and will tell senders to fix their shit every time they don't encrypt stuff and just flatout delete any unencrypted mails.

Same with Hosters known to snitch on users [beyond duely submitted warrants!] or being #PRISM collaborators.……

@uhuru Feel free to open up an issue tho I'd question #GMail, #YahooMail, #Outlook.com / #Hotmail to ever respond on any requests.

  • That being said I think they are untrusted and do flex their "#TooBigToBlock" status well to hard...

Either way, I do tend to blocklist eMail Domains & phone numbers after vetting them and having actual evidence at hand to avoid "collataral damage" and overblocking...

@fuomag9 granted, @stratosphere only lists what pinged / portscanned / attacked their systems and nothing else.

Which is why I use multiple blocklists simultaneously to filter traffic.

Personally I consider #ClownFlare aka. #CloudFlare to be a #RogueISP that was allowed to become #TooBigToBlock just like #Outlook.com / #Hotmail,#GMail and #YahooMail as well as #Mailbox.org are today in terms of #eMail...

@larsmb because most businesses are run by #TechIlliterates and dipshits.

Don't believe me?

Look up how many people fanboy Musk and tell me.that I'm wrong afterwards...

And yes, #Office365 / #Mcrosoft365 / #Outlook.com / #Hotmail and #Gmail, alongside with #YahooMail are the prime sources of #Spam and are "#TooBigTo Block!" for no good reason as they boss around small mailservers whilst not eben following their own standards, including.but not limited to silently dropping eMails and randomly blocking domains for no reason whatsoever!

I run my own email server as well, and I've done so for more than 10 years.

Spamhaus has not been the biggest of my pains, that slot belonged to #Microsoft (particularly #hotmail) and #Yahoo, and it took years for them to finally accept our emails without complains.

I believe some of the problem was because I hadn't implemented DMARC fully, I made 2 big mistakes, I think:

- Choosing 'quarantine' instead of 'reject' in my DMARC directive. I did this because I wanted to monitor before turning more strict (and then forgot). I should have gone with a more restrictive directive from day 0.

- Choosing not to send daily DMARC reports to other domains/servers, because I thought these messages were going to increase my traffic with spam servers, so it could be counter productive. I believe it worked the other way, having not done so actually costed some reputation to my server, so if I did it again, I would be shooting DMARC reports from day 0 as well.

Note that making these 2 mistakes won't prevent you from getting 10/10 score for the email tests, however your emails won't reach to the usual suspects.

As your server is considered 'matured' by Microsoft and Yahoo, you may consider using an alternative external email service such as AWS SES. It is extremely cheap and reliable.

I remember signing up for #Gmail all those years ago with glee. Back then, #Microsoft email via #hotmail was a hot mess, while #Yahoo email was slightly better—but only in the sense that 💩 is better than 💩 🔛 🔥!!

I am grateful that #Google launched Gmail as it did radically change my life for the better (privacy issues aside).

I know folks will mention #Protonmail (which I have also checked out). I may sign up with the latter later on.

@GossiTheDog ...this month I found out by accident that my 30+yrs old #hotmail account's password was 'tried-to-brute-force' and, ofc, #microsoft put a lock on it - but I never got a warning about it. Not a text/sms or email to the 'security bkp' alt, which is not a MS but a Gmail account. Thus, and since we just converted the very last server/pc in the house to #linux from #windows, I decided to close the Hotmail account as well since this level of 'security', or lack of, is unacceptable.

I wanted to ditch #gmail / #hotmail long time ago.
Now seems to be a good time to do so.

Aw, I did my homework on #ProtonMail and found some rumors, so, I don’t wanna take my chances.

And since #tutanota is a proprietary, I don’t wanna bet on it.

I ended up with the idea of hosting my own #email server.

Has anyone done it before? How was it? Any advice? What to keep in mind? What was the server hardware specs?
