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?

    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.

      I don’t think dkim mail matter. Since it already passes spf and dmarc.

      shrugs

        One of my mail servers is on Linode, btw.
