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.

@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 Normally I use Postfix as an MTA. It is created by Wietse Venema.

I joined a BSD user group over video conf and noticed that Wietse Venema was a regular member of the BSD user group.

I couldn't tell you what the BSD user group meeting was about because I spent the whole time amazed that I was in the same video conf wiith Wietse Venema.

Honestl;y I would do the same with Eric Allman. Don't care for djb or his software.

Love running mail servers . Found that out back in '97.

@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 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?
