I guess now I have to wait 1,000,000 years for Amazon SES to approve me. I hate #Amazon but I cannot beat their price of 0.10 per 1000 outgoing emails for an SMTP relay.

Our #MPAQ network has been trying to build our own email server for a few years. All the corporate controlled shit has put up so many roadblocks to prevent independent email systems, it's become impossible.

@justbob I know! It's frustrating as hell! I am going to try using #AmazonSES as an SMTP Relay as it is dirt cheap. If that doesn't work, it'll be TKO for me.

If you find a way that doesn't involve THOSE people, please yell at @bob

I have 2 systems (Beamship-Mastodon and Ghost-Blogger) that desperately needs a email relay.

@justbob @bob There's no way to do it without a trusted relay these days. The corpos got us by the shorthairs.

We've worked around most things so that we don't have to put out any $ except the electric (slowly adding solar/wind power 😂) and ISP but our IP is on multiple "spam". MoFo corporate shit show.

Our network admin just got Beamship and OJRock and the other servers to use solar and wind as backup power 👏😂👏😂 next is to get the network completely off grid, hehehe
