Trying to decide if I should even go down this route considering everyone uses Gmail. If Gmail decides it doesn't like my domain, nobody in my company can send email 😅

I’m interested in a more decentralized email alternative if it’s feasible to be done.
Many have tried over the decades. All have failed.
Email is such a clusterfuck
Of all the surviving protocols from the early internet, email is the worst.
One of my favorite reads from Lopp that explains a lot of it. Also a cautionary tail for future decentralized protocols (like Nostr).
Lopp blog is A+ content across the board. I’ve read this one too and it’s great.
Honestly, that’s why I use Google Workspace for my business email. It’s just easy. It’s always deliverable, they give you the correct mx, spf, and dkim entries, and the spam filtering is unmatched. OAuth to easily connect your email through other platforms (in my case, to sent deliverable mail direct from websites) is also nice.
As an avid hater of email, I read that when #[4] first published it. Great read, he’s spot-on.
