SwiftOnSecurityMy email host moved datacenters and it broken my SPF record so all my outbound email was being dropped. Lol
On one hand, dating someone who runs their own email server shows lasting commitment even during unpleasant periods. On the other hand, they're crazy.
Emmamstewart@SwiftOnSecurity otherwise known as ‘my type’
Finnley Dolfin@SwiftOnSecurity I like running my own email server. Although it’s a Docker container called Poste.io which makes the configuration easier. The hardest part was getting all the SPF, rDNS, DKIM, etc… entries right to get past spam filters.
But now I can block all emails coming from birdsite even after I asked to “unsubscribe” yet still continue to receive them.
sʌǝu ᴧɐɹʞǝʃ 🤘🇪🇪🤘@FinnleyDolfin @SwiftOnSecurity thanks for tip about poste.io. I'm quite tired of that postfix + dovecot + all kinds of authentication 'n' shit. I'll be sure to take a closer look at that poste.io.
Tristan 
@FinnleyDolfin @SwiftOnSecurity another poste.io user here. It's excellent.
@TristanBinox @SwiftOnSecurity
Yes, it's great being able to have more control over the incoming emails.
@FinnleyDolfin @SwiftOnSecurity feels good to de-Google a bit too!
Teresa Rothaar 
@SwiftOnSecurity The same is true for infosec, period. Normal, mentally healthy people do not choose to work in infosec.
joy larkin 🌺✨@SwiftOnSecurity This explains a lot about myself.
Steve Syfuhs@SwiftOnSecurity I mean, the odds of them being crazy was always going to be high in certain cases.
will@SwiftOnSecurity I've done my own email and my own DNS for over ten years.
"Crazy" is a subjective term, right?

Laukidh@SwiftOnSecurity I used to run my own qmail server back in the day. I even have some ancient scripts I built for it out there clogging up the innerwebs.
lanefuDouble amen to that
Cenobyte 
@SwiftOnSecurity I run my own mail server.. it then again I run everything here (as a small private research institute)
@SwiftOnSecurity damn, I've been doing that for some 20-25 years I guess. Crazy, yes but also married so no avail to dating😬🥴😎🤪
Aphrodite (recharging)excuse me
this is awkward because my diary is analog i did not need most of my romantic partners to be called out like that
next thing i know you will be claiming to know the exact make of the st andrew’s cross and the shibari rop… umm..
[self deprecating string of obscenities questioning my poor #opsec skills]
Jochie 👨🏻💻🏳️🌈@SwiftOnSecurity Too real, too real.
Matt@SwiftOnSecurity ... I'm in this post... I also run my own web and mastodon instance...
Andreas Fink@SwiftOnSecurity running your own mailserver is something I have done over 27 years. Just because theres alternatives from big companies, doesnt mean im crazy. Its more the contrary. it is crazy to outsource you mailbox to a giant which gives copies to the NSA and reads your mail to better manipulate you with ads etc. or declare you as pedofile and disconnect you overnight because you mail your mom a pict of your child bathing. Everything has its price
Orc@SwiftOnSecurity But it's a good kind of crazy.
Travis Newton 👨💻@SwiftOnSecurity I mean the upside is you know where your data is and you control it. You don’t have to put blind trust in a third party (see Rackspace).
Lily@SwiftOnSecurity I love running my own email server. At the same time, I hate running my own email server.
@SwiftOnSecurity @FlamingPaw We can contain multitudes…
Gloopsies 
I am running my mail server for about a year and it had some problems in the start because I had no clue what I was doing, hopefully it won't break again...
Salen Stormwing@SwiftOnSecurity Absolutely madlads. I'm all for the offloading of that sort of stuff to some other company.
Cassandrich@SwiftOnSecurity It doesn't count as running your own email server unless you wrote all the code.
Howard Chu @ Symas
Rob Landley@dalias @SwiftOnSecurity I have literally done that, and I stopped for a reason.
Eckes 
@SwiftOnSecurity i could convince my wife to stop doing that after merely 10 years
Wolfgang Tremmel@SwiftOnSecurity ah well, running my own email server for about 25 years now.... but I am weird anyway as I do not have WhatsApp
HP van Braam@SwiftOnSecurity I feel seen, thank you.
@SwiftOnSecurity This reply is obviously coming from my own Mastodon instance :P
@SwiftOnSecurity postmaster @ umich.edu was one of my jobs back in college. Back when we wrote sendmail.cf by hand. It's progressively gotten easier ever since. I've been running my own domain since 1996. Ain't no thang.
JauntyWunderKind@SwiftOnSecurity i have to say i am so so happy postfix + dovecot have just ran for so many years. i treat this instance like shit and it keeps ticking & thankfully has never been awful. but i probably ought be better maintaining it & probably ought deploy a better preconfigured option-set some day.
i spent a good part of my 20's smashing my face into self-hosting email and directory services, across a variety of different script/automation systems (shell scripts, puppet). these days getting k8s clusters good has been a long-burning effort. all detract from the real work, of coding, but all needed & part of the project. i don't want to skip.
Andy Lowry@SwiftOnSecurity
I HEARD THAT.
I HEARD THAT.
Walker Boh🛡@SwiftOnSecurity hey... I run my own mail server lol
Kyreeth@SwiftOnSecurity I continue to have a love/hate relationship with postfix’s master.cf
