okay uh don't hate me too much for this but: second service instance postfix, which just acts as a forwarder to whatever you pick? that can have static auth in it for lemmy and thus break as little as possible, and it'll just always queue flush
basically ye olde smarthost, SaaS nightmare edition
heck it can run on the same actual box, postfix is not heavy
yep, literally just a side service in the same flake definition. only downside is you'll need to feed logs to somewhere, and monitor queue depth. but those are both trivial (and you could even just trigger for queue depth over n for $time, because that's enough indication of work/fail)
huh, I kind of like it
we’ll see how the migration goes in staging — if it’s smooth, I’ll add postfix as a todo. if there’s a bunch of problems, postfix might be the most immediate way out
it's just the right amount of jank to be a perfect solution
