Is there any hope? Or is it inevitable that big corporations will take over what started as a way to escape big corporate platforms and to focus on real communities and discussions and replace it with a toxic shithole pumped full of ads?

Any reading on this? Seems a little outlandish. I self host an email server for both my business and personal use, and have never had issues sending or receiving mail. Not saying I don't believe you, just that that has not been my personal experience.

    Yeah, I've been running E-mail servers for a long time. You kind of have to get things right, like not configuring an open relay and properly setting up SPF (and maybe DMARC) but I've never had an issue with E-mail delivery to Gmail.

    Even with all of that configured on my instance. Emails are sent to spam to gmail by default because it comes from a linode IP.

    Rdns is setup. Dmarc is in reject with a simple spf record. Even went back and setup Mx records my vps uses. Still flagged.

    shrugs

    It's made up bullshit. It's a pain to run email because most services require quite a few dns and other records set, as well as making sure you aren't spamming from it. You can run an email server if you have yourself all day.
