Interesting history and analysis of SMTP's history. How can we prevent fedi and other open protocols from suffering the same fates?

Do you have a link to the guide by any chance? I might try it again using one of my throw away domains as a test.

It was one of LinuxBabe's guides - this one:

There is a more recent one that uses a shell script to install all the bits and pieces but I prefer to do it myself so I've got at least some idea of how all the pieces work.
