Gmail is a cesspool, and Google couldn't give the slightest bit of a shit. So does it really surprise you that people who share free services might not want to give those free services to people who use the cesspool service that doesn't care about abuse?
- dazilcher 1y agoGMail is the most popular email provider by a wide margin. Denying service to the largest cohort of email users is indeed surprising, ridiculous, and self-defeating.
- simoncion 1y agoOn the contrary: it's a decent filter for folks who would be very unlikely to be able to follow the instructions to set up and maintain their end of the tunnel. (It also happens to be a fantastic filter for spammers and other abusers. Is it perfect? Hell no. But it is very good.)
- john01dav 1y agoI can setup email on my own domain, but I don't want to. It isn't worth my time or money. This doesn't mean that I can't follow tunnel broker instructions.
- bcrl 1y agoGmail rejects mailing list messages that every other email provider accepts. It is impossible to get a human at Google to look at these issues. That's kinda the worst of all worlds. At least other email providing companies have support teams that can be talked to when things go off the rails.
- john01dav 1y agoThey told me that they blocked all mass market email providers.
- egberts1 1y agoThey still do, just that their definition of mass-market is "our size of mass-market": those million-mailers aren't big enough to block. /sarcasm
