I was planning to setup an hMailServer or something better at some point because of this.

Wow, it's great to read the story that way... I have a question lingering in my mind about the conclusion of Bitcoin, is it related to NFTs on the Bitcoin network? Could it be an error?

I think its a protocol for simpler times. Too much stuff stapled for it to work on current day: DKIM, DMARK, SPF, Graylists or wathever fresh hell you need to publish on DNS nowadays. Far too much pain to be worthy of the hassle.

Greetings. Is anyone around here interested in developing email technologies?

More specifically in anti-spam or fishing solutions... p2t.email

You might enjoy....

This is the future of Nostr, I'm afraid. We need to show the work. Put an old laptop somewhere. Put an old grapichcs card in a closet.

前面的部分不就是现在nostr发生的事情么?

This is also why Nostr is different. Thanks to the Lightning Network you can make Spam costly and, well a feature.

Small blocks > Big blocks then?

ability to send email via VPN all of a sudden doesnt work for email providers that dont have my

IP address nornamre nor phone. smtp server authentication rejection.

When protocols de facto die. Emails are simply not delivered unless they come from the prominent players.

The box also includes automatic DNS configuration when you let it become your nameserver so that it can set important DNS records for mail deliverability and security including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MTA-STS. When enabled, DNSSEC (with DANE TLSA) provides a higher level of protection against active attacks with other mail servers also running DANE TLSA. TLS certificates are automatically provisioned from Let’s Encrypt. (For more see our security practices.)

Your box can host mail for multiple users and multiple domain names. It also supports simple static website hosting (since the box is serving HTTP anyway), or you can host a website elsewhere (just add custom DNS records in your Mail-in-a-Box's control panel)

The signal.

Protocol still works fine. It's the masses that have it wrong, run your own node. Its well written and I love lopps content, but it sounds similar like a abstract mike hearn style protocol rage quit.

Be your own "deliverability specialist" its not that hard.

I don't agree with the conclusions. I have successfully run my own self-hosted email server since the Snowden revelations with no deliberability problems to big players.

The ISPmail howtos on WorkAround.org are a good starting point. www.iredmail.org well in a pinch. You can host your own email server at home/work on your own hardware on a static IP address, or use a VPN tunnel to a cloud VPS for their static IP address. This provides the most security.

Or else you can run it in the cloud if convenience wins.

Either way, it's not impossible. It's achievable. And it brings some significant protections, technical and legal.

When trust and identity aren’t really baked into the standard from the start it’s hard to back in to it. interestingly DNS didn’t hit quite the same fate.

This may not be popular but I think centralization is fine for email. If I get punted off of my centralized email provider, I can fire up my own smtp server as an alternative.

We need to decentralize everything. We need to be our own beings, not the slave of others. Keep up the great work!
