If you are trying to #degoogle your life, be aware that one of the unpleasant side effects is that a shit ton of people will not be able to receive #email from you. I've been on an email address handled by my shared server provider for like 15 years now, and I can attest that #google and #yahoo are both pretty bad for blocking anything from a #domain outside the big providers.
"On Saturday, Swedish police confirmed that a 👉man (#JoostKlein) had been reported for making "unlawful threats" at #Malmö Arena👈, after Thursday's semi-final.
"The police have taken all essential investigative measures..."
"#Swedish and #Dutch news outlets have said that the incident involved a member of the television production team."
#yahoo#email app on #Android does not always show all folders. Restarting does not help. Very strange and very inconvenient. Is there a good mail app for android you can recommend like thunderbird? #yahoomail#yahooemail#emailapps
I’ve decided to go full-in with my own mail server. The #ProtonMail bridge over SSH+VPN tunnel is no substitute for a proper mail server - plus it’s awfully slow when used as a full IMAP server and it breaks the IMAP implementation in a lot of ways.
I’ve created my new domain, gone through the configuration of DKIM/DMARC/SPF like a good postmaster, just to get immediately blacklisted by @spamhaus on my first outbound email.
I’ve been through this before, but in my previous experiences a blacklist removal ticket would be either resolved automatically or within a couple of hours at most.
In this case, nearly 24h and three tickets later and nothing is moving. Not even some directions on how to get removed or an ETA. The mailboxes have already been all migrated with forwarding configured on the old addresses, but outbound email is still broken because being blacklisted by a single company means being unable to communicate with nearly any mail servers out there.
Does anyone have any tips on how a #Spamhaus blacklist removal process can be sped up?

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).
Originally called “Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web,” which was created in 1994, as the portal grew popular, it was renamed Yahoo, an acronym for “Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle.”
Elder Millennials and Young Gen Xers – did you ever use Yahoo Chat / Messenger?
I’m trying to remember something and it’s driving me crazy…
I swear back in like ‘00-‘01, you could browse Yahoo for random people to chat with? Like they would put what they wanted to chat about (e.g. “The Beatles”), and you could choose to message them. I met a lot of fellow fans that way. Anyone else remember this??
Fun and games with email today… Yahoo and Google have stepped up their filtering game, requiring stricter DKIM/DMARC.
That broke my workplace email addresses.
Consequently, I wound up reviving my old yahoo.com.au email address… fun and games remembering the password to an account I haven't used regularly in the better part of 25 years.
Thankfully, I must've logged in more recently, and changed the password… and crucially, stored it in the password manager. So it's working again.
My home mail server: delivers to the old Yahoo account, no problems at all.
SPFv1 for both work's domains are correct, how the hell does a hobby server admin like me get something right that professionals like Microsoft get wrong?
