Actually this kind of thing, whether intentional or not on Google’s part, does grate on me a little. Assuming you’ve correctly configured your domain’s SPF, DKIM, etc, then failing to deliver your emails properly could potentially be viewed as an abuse of a monopoly. In other words, their actions unfairly punish independent self-hosted SMTP users and thus make it more likely that the market will favour a larger provider, including of course… Gmail.
- sylware 5y agoIndeed I do pay a DNS tax, and I did setup a proper SPF record (not DKIM since it is overkill/unreasonable: if your smtp server is pown, DKIM does not bring anything more than SPF as far as I can recall except complex kludge). That said, SMTP was designed with the possibility to avoid the DNS tax: instead of a domain use [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] for an ipv4 or [IPv6:...] for an ipv6. Where something seems really wrong: ppl removing my emails from their spam folder does not seem to have any impact.
