Nathan Arthur (OLD ACCOUNT)I blogged about migrating my MX (email) from self-hosted #Qmail, with Gmail as the front-end, to @fastmail: https://www.rainskit.com/blog/migrating-from-qmail-and-gmail-to-fastmail/
Many #yaks were shaved in this adventure, and I'm much less visible to Google, now!
The post is long, mostly because I needed to eulogize the end of 25 years of email self-hosting. But it might be interesting to some of you. And it might be helpful if you are on Qmail and want to stop self hosting.
scs | scnrBisher war ich von #Uberspace eigentlich recht angetan. Nun komm ich aber mit der Umsetzung meiner eigentlichen Mailstruktur an meine Grenzen. Ggf. kann man das mit einer eigenen #qmail-Konfiguration umsetzen. Aber da #U8 ohne qmail irgendwo am Horizont auftaucht, ist mein Enthusiasmus mich in die qmail-Configs einzuarbeiten, irgendwie sehr gering. 😩
Amitai Schleier#qmail lacks #TLS. #notqmail doesn't include it either (yet!). But if you install from #pkgsrc…
\# chown qmaild:nofiles control/servercert.pem
\# chmod 640 control/servercert.pem
\# ln -s control/servercert.pem control/clientcert.pem
\# update_tmprsadh
\# /etc/rc.d/qmail restart

JdeBPI have a suspicion that in a very small way I might have recently contributed towards a minor unshittification of Meta.
I was drawn into it as an SMTP problem.
I can only apologize to the world if it actually does end up making #Meta capable of sending e-mail once more. (-:
As a #qmail user of many years, who did similar work of my own for OS/2, and who was drowned with UBM to the point of just giving up on SMTP e-mail in the 2000s; I can heartily recommend the rejection of Relay clients that do not adhere to the SMTP.
Gresham's Law trumps Postel's Principle.

JdeBPI made the mistake of starting to learn about GEMINI from its Frequently Asked Questions document.
It's not aimed at people like me, who already understand the benefits and tradeoffs of static content servers. So it drives lots of points home, repeatedly, that I already know.
It's apparently aimed at the same sort of monoculture Chrome+Apache Think for HTTP that parallels the old BIND Think and Sendmail Think that #qmail and #djbdns were up against years ago.
Jan ☕🎼🎹☁️🏋️♂️I've run #qmail back in the day, and if my memory serves me right it was the least annoying one to work with ;)
Since then I've mostly moved over to whatever the distro defaults to.
Mark StosbergHedwig was once a trusty #Qmail mail server named by @ChrisHardie
Now Hedwig is being re-incarnated as a #Linux desktop notification utility by @dnkl
https://linuxrocks.online/@dnkl/112841882943169277
It’s like notify-send but only depends on d-bus and not also libnotify.

Hedwig it is, for now. Available at https://codeberg.org/dnkl/hedwig Status: it works, and code quality isn't _too_ bad... could definitely use some cleanup. * No documentation, yet. * Name _may_ change. * Output format may change. * Syntax may change. If the above doesn't deter you; I've spent roughly 4-6 hours on this so far. Expect bugs.
