Comment on Giving up on selfhosted email / Any sane email setups?
neo@lemmy.hacktheplanet.be 11 months agoIn my experience (self hosting mail since 2005) signing up for SNDS does factor in. Although last time I had trouble with delivery to MS, my hosting provider Linode’s support also helped out by contacting MS back channels on my behalf. The biggest problem I (rarely) have is when whole IP blocks end up on a ban list that MS seems to really trust. That said, fuck it, I will keep fighting the fight and self host my mail like a stubborn old git :p

Hell yeah :). I’ve heard people have had problems with Linode’s IP blocks with MS… I’m glad to hear that Linode was actually able to help you resolve the problem. The biggest problem seems to be that you just might not realize if your e-mails are being dropped. Not sure if MS will notify you via DMARC if your IP block has been blacklisted, from the sounds of things they probably don’t and just silently drop things, so I guess you have to monitor the blacklists yourself?
