Email on your own domain is easy!
zievuurEasy? 🤔
@zievuur.bsky.social I'll be honest and say that I didn't watch the complete video because I've set up dozens of email accounts for my own domains over the years, and I'm guessing that you're the same! 🙂
Update to my blog entry:
https://www.fredonline.fyi/2025/09/port87-label-powered-email.html
I received a message today from Hunter Perrin, the creator of Port 87 - he had seen my blog entry. He advised that, at the time of my testing the product, there was a bug in Port87 preventing the DKIM signing of the auto-responses to bare address emails. He has since fixed the bug, and so it should be working as expected.
I have re-tested again - this time sending from Gmail and Zoho Mail accounts. The verification emails were received as expected in each account.
WildEnte@fredonline eh...? At first glance that sounds like making a service out of what plusaddressing can do for ages...? https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/360060591053-Plus-addressing-and-subdomain-addressing
@WildEnte I may not understand their system yet, but I think it's more complex than just plus-addressing, which is possible with many email providers. Whatever email address that's used, it has to be verified by that sender before the email goes through. It does seem to rely on that sender being 'human' to get a response. That wouldn't work for an automated email - for example, notifications of new posts from a forum. However, one can create a label that bypasses the need for verification.

@fredonline I might be missing something, but I don't see many people resending an email with the entire message text again and then the correct address. I don't think most people notice or understand this, let alone are capable of it. It doesn't seem very practical to me. #port87
@sybrand People would have to resend their mail if they originally used the 'bare' address, but if they use the address with the additional label in the first place, they just click on the 'Verify Address' button in the Port87 auto-response email - they don't have to resend. In theory the 'bare' address isn't (or shouldn't be) given out to anyone.
