Blacklisting is an issue.

Sure, it can be done, the question is how much time and effort you want to spend trying to keep it off of the blacklists... Fine if you are only going to email other self hosted accounts & they don't implement those mainstream filters.

The actual server stuff is easy enough.

Apparently thinking is extremist behaviour these days...

Ignore this, wrong thread...

Not enough coffee. 🤕

Um the actual server stuff is 99% of the effort and a once and done thing.

I spend NO TIME doing this. Recently we did have to reg the domain with Yahoo and a few others it took seconds to cut and paste the domain and hit submit. You are using an objection that is not real. Sorry.

🤔 Ahh I think I see the difference here, maybe it's a TLD vs subdomain thing.

TBH when I looked after a server it was a strange setup with outbound going through the upstream providers server & that side of things was not part of the job...

It was a long time ago.

Maybe I'll take another look.

The reason I was given & what I heard from everyone was that the SMTPs were getting blacklisted all the time.

Like the guy who was talking about having issues sending to Hotmail / live addresses.

Sounds like it's time for some testing...

Exactly. Easy enough to *send* mail but if you want someone to actually receive it, you have to go through a gatekeeper

Yeah, the other guys POP / IMAP server using "industry standard" filtering.

If Jack says he isn't having the issue, it may be worth some testing.

Entire domain blocking was always nuclear option bullshit, maybe that has changed... Maybe.

I mean now we can just spin up a mail appliance under VirtualBox, tweak it a bit & test.

No I black list the shit out of people unless you mean the other way around. That takes about 30 seconds to register your domain for compliance, literally a cut and paste into a form.
