       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.
