   This is the one I’ve ended up with as well.

     @natematias Mailgun is the only one that has worked for me. Or if you’re running on gmail their API is solid.

     Speaking of which, does anyone have leads on a reliable smtp relay service that could send 1-3 emails a day to myself for a minimal cost?

     Sigh. To everyone who has argued for the myth of resolving social problems by adding "friction" to the social web...

     ...could you please rewrite the software that now can't help me manage my disability due to friction in the email network?

     Today I am thinking about how much bad actors poison the well.

     Trying to get software to send me an automated email every day without paying for an alert service, and it turns out to be a pretty complicated challenge to verify the email isn't spam.

     It's the beginning of the fall semester and I was away for a year, so I am checking my small air sensor network and setting up the alert system that informs my respiratory disability accommodation with Cornell.

     Last time I was working on this, I was very ill. Today I'm in a much better position, but I'm still experiencing some PTSD just looking at the code.
