It's not. The biggest problem is big email providers such like Gmail.
- ysleepy 6y agoIt is related. You can't easily run your own mail server because the hurdles you have to overcome to not land in gmails (outlook, etc.) spam folder - or even get delivered at all. DKIM, SPOF, a good IP range. Then your server itself will be exposed to spam and might make it a lot less fun to use. The big ones are not playing nice with smaller ones because of spam.
- doublerabbit 6y agoI have a couple of dedicated servers in colocation and run my own email server. It's taken more than two years of having all recipients clicking "not spam" and applying to anti-blacklists, ensuring DKIM,SSL Et cetera to actually obtain a decent success rate. Google, Microsoft really are the destroyers of the internet.
- nix23 6y agoThat is so true, but for gmail/hotmail try that: Gmail: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126?hl=en https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126?hl=en Hotmail (register as sender): https://sender.office.com/ https://sender.office.com/ And a good spamtest: https://www.mail-tester.com/ https://www.mail-tester.com/
