I run an email domain for myself and three friends. I set it up 10+ years ago and originally it was for ~15 people. It's only personal email and no one uses it for marketing or anything even remotely shady. We setup DKIM and all of the similar best practices. In the last 6-12 months, we've had lots of issues with gmail marking our messages as spam for users we haven't emailed before.
And what sucks about it is there's nothing you can do. People assume it's your fault for being weird and not using Gmail or outlook.com. And there's zero way to contact Google or submit information to convince them you're legitimate.
I believe in an open, distributed internet. I don't think it's good that we're moving towards a world we're the core protocols that defined the internet are being replaced by proprietary versions controlled by a handful of trillion dollar companies.
- flippinburgers 3y agoThis makes me sad the "old" internet has been dead for a while it seems. I also run my own email "server" but mostly only use it as an inbox so I don't know how things have evolved over time. At some point I signed up for some google feature that will send me a reliability report, zipped, xml from google. I don't remember the details and, yeah, I haven't ever tried to reach out to google but based on their products I imagine it is impossible to actually contact anyone.
