Phewww... After spending 12 hours reading up on mail servers and setting everything up—from TLS and Caddy to SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and the reverse DNS entry—it feels really good to be able to receive and send emails with lots of PASS entries and a verified DKIM signature in the mail header!

Finally, I have my own mail server. I've only been putting it off for a few years hehe

The campaign Leave X has 3000 signatories this far.

Now the org has developed a new tool that tracks which European members of Parliament are still on active on X. You can also filter on specific countries and so on. This is an excellent move from the campaign and this organization.

Before you register a domain name, please check who operates its top level domain, as much of your digital independence will depend on who they are! Also, you might be surprised who you're sponsoring.

The ICANN has a list of the registry operators:
