   Yes, I admit that the subconscious fear for a future totalitarian, fascist regime was a factor in deciding to learn to run my own mailserver many years ago. Now, 20 years later, that mailserver is still running, is up2date and one of the things I am really glad to have.

     Being able to run my own mailserver is the result of many, many developers publishing the needed parts under open source licenses and keeping these packages updated over many, many years. I am very grateful for that.

     @jwildeboer thing is: having a secure communication can never be an individual effort. your communication is now as safe as the infrastructure of your least safest peer.

     @jwildeboer But are you able to send to GMail and Hotmail/MS Outlook online servers (now wel over 50% of accounts seem to go through there). MS and Google seem hell bent on forcing all small mail servers out with opaque DNSSec and DMARK demands that only work part of the time even if you stringently follow their published rules.
     I've seen lots of long-time self email hosters give up due to "embrace, extend, extinguish" on the email protocols.

     And now that I have my own #Forgejo instance running and have switched all my websites to static pages, I will also serve these websites from my 2 public servers next year. As they are static pages, I can switch hosting around very fast und completely under my control. Digital Sovereignty starts with the individual :)

     @jwildeboer In meinem Kopf sprech ich Forgejo immer spanisch aus, so wie pendejo halt. Ich vermute mal, Forgejo ist nicht wirklich spanisch, oder? 😬

     @jwildeboer ok, seriously speaking: considering the rise of tech-fashism i see two scenarios: they either care about you or they don't.

     in the latter case you are save and your little infrastructure operates beneath their radar. but what keeps them from just blacklisting your server in the in first scenario? so your security really depends on you staying off the radar?

     @haploc @jwildeboer @a_cubed Any particular tip to improve deliverability beyond standard SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup? I have been operating my own mail server since 2008(ish), and still my deliverability to GMail/Outlook/Yahoo is poor. I regularly check my IP is not blacklisted (and it's never been !), I'm registered to Google Postmaster tools, MS SNDS, etc ... but still my mails often end up classified as spam 😞

     @jwildeboer @a_cubed I can confirm that “it works for me” too. Even if I’ve got the warnings before that my IP belongs to a spam-risk subnet, my test mails to google or office365 came through.

     @jwildeboer but you do know that blacklists are shared between providers, right?

     @jwildeboer what we are going to need is a wide network of anti fascist e-mailprofiders with their own blacklists and whitelists.

     @jwildeboer see, when they "care about you", as i suggested, you won't be on only one blacklist, but … like, all? and they will have a simple button for that.

     @jwildeboer 👍 I'm similarly thankful to the contributors of Haraka. It was very easy to deploy SMTP/MX at scale with custom logic (Redis, delivery to apps) from containers.

     Is Postfix any better at having multiple instances sharing a single queue volume?
