My personal email server has worked fine for like 10 years but gmail just did something recently and now all of my emails to gmail users goes to their spam.

I think they require dkim now (signed emails), so much for deniability?

Email decentralization is a joke.

I think they’ve technically required DKIM and SPF for a long time, but they have been rolling “improvements” to spam filtering lately, so it’s probably stricter than it used to be.

I’ve never had dkim and I’ve never had an issue until recently, so yeah it looks like I was caught in some spam war crossfire

No DKIM records will wreak havoc. Every major provider is rolling out scoring.

I was just looking through how to set this up for self hosted. Doesn’t look bad, just annoying.

your domain was probably old enough to be trusted, but they have probably changed parameters now
