---------------------------------------- re: lambdalab - email thoughts August 27th, 2019 ---------------------------------------- The lambda lab wrote [0] about setting up email and asked for some thoughts on relaying that mail to others around gopherspace. I do something like that on cosmic.voyage. Namely, I have installed and enabled postfix to allow for outbound emails only to specific hosts. [1,2] Since I'm targeting other tildes and not big email providers I don't need to worry about ending up on spam lists because of unauthenticated emails to Biggy-G. It also means I can be lazy about it. If you're using the host yourself and not sharing it with others then you don't even need to go that far. Just be selective about who you email, I guess. But honestly, setting up DKIM, SPF, etc, isn't too bad these days. The hard part is dealing with the Notorious-G and others blacklisting you because they don't care, forcing you to manually intercede and get clearance. The last time I dealt with that with them I had to do a bunch of extra crap to figure out how to see the error message that had some obscure URL they wanted me to visit. Yuck.
