I'm not expecting ethical behaviour either, but interoperability and online market domination can still go hand-in-hand.

Consider how Gmail mostly dominates email even though everyone can still self-host their email instance.

I'm still searching for a good #email app for #android. I'm speaking of #MaterialUI3, #MaterialYou, #OpenSource and secure.
Like.. yeah, K9Mail, EasyEmail exist. But.. those look really dated.

While #gmail (what I use at the moment) just doesn't give me notifications for my #IMAP mail addresses on an custom mail server (netcup) at all...

I've also used #outlook on my old phone, but that just got worse. Also it doesn't want to add my mail addresses..

#Gmail is starting to show even more ads -- and they're appearing in the middle of email lists.

There's a real benefit to using email software that doesn't rely on YOUR data to generate revenue or train AI.

So, am I reading this right?

It seems to be claiming:

1. Unless my ISP somehow authorizes email to be sent from my IP, Gmail will now bounce it.
2. Unless I am hooked up with an email service that somehow has clout with Google, Gmail will bounce it.

Since the "ISP" through whom I am attempting to send mail is #DigitalOcean, I find item #1 to be dubious. They are not blocking my outgoing mail port, and I have no problems sending to most recipients (Google and Microsoft being the only exceptions I'm aware of).

DigitalOcean seems to encouraging its users to use a 3rd-party service -- but I'm already paying them for hosting, and managing my own email service; I don't want to pay yet another service just for the privilege of being allowed to send messages to Gmail's increasingly walled garden.

Is it time to formally #boycottGmail?

#Mastodon インスタンスを立ち上げておひとり様をやっていますが、直後からサイトからメールが来ます。

「prattohome.comで新しいトレンドが審査待ちです」

このメールは #Gmail アカウントに届くので、google のメール処理を見ていて、#spf レコードが neutral とされていましたが、受信はされていました。

昨日、spf レコードを見よう見まねでDNSのTEXTとして入れたら、それから以降はGmailはspf=pass の扱いに。

これでなりすましができなくなるとのことです。

少しの進歩。自画自賛。

What's happening to #Tutanota could eventually happen to your email provider as well. Users of the #email provider were banned from signing up for #Microsoft Teams and #Crunchyroll. This is how they lock us into #Gmail.
Eventually, in the name of "fighting spam" they will block all email providers, especially those on custom domains, unless the domain just happens to be associated with one of the big companies, such as Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Amazon, Comcast and Zoho.

P.S. Since #DuckDuckGo launched their email service today, who knows if they'll be able to get away for it for much longer.
