I've just spent the last two hours trying to get it through a director's head that his SPF, DKIM & DMARC have no bearing on an email sent to someone purporting to have come from his company and that the reason his domain was blocked is that the recipients' SPF, DKIM & DMARC worked. ðŸ˜
tig@tig I thought you were dead?
@dick_turpin just hibernating for the winter, nearly dead but not quite
@tig I'm sick to death of this rain. Can you please abide by your court order and stop lighting fires everywhere!
@dick_turpin it has been cold but dry here today, have you been upsetting the pond gods again? you probably got the BBQ out at the weekend didn't you!
@dick_turpin also I might have the Austin Seven back on the road soon (out of winter storage) I could pop by and you could relive your middle age :)
@tig Ooh, yes, please. Bring a small boy to shove up a chimney.
@dick_turpin this is why you got blacklisted by the YTS :)
@dick_turpin good keep it like that and we might get a weekend in august that isn't shit
@dick_turpin I bet it was @wyliecoyoteuk who briefly excused himself from his hot tub to fire up the BBQ.. anyway he is out of luck as I am visiting the south west in the Austin Seven at the start of May ish, Trip codename: Pistons and Pasties 2026

@tig @dick_turpin Sadly, due to my wife's illness, she can no longer use the hot tub, so we have sold it to someone who can.
Just dumped the BBQ as well (rusted through).

@wyliecoyoteuk @dick_turpin sorry to hear that :(

It was mostly for her to do daily exercise in.
The family and 1 enjoyed it occasionally, but she was the main user. Now she can no longer use it, there was no real reason to keep it.

@tig @dick_turpin As for the BBQ, hadn't used it for ages. Also getting rid of the Pizza oven.
windigo@dick_turpin I don't envy you there. The current state of email security seems to be designed to produce torment and dismay. Also, spam, somehow. :P
@windigo Email is probably our number one support nightmare. It's soul-destroying to deal with some of the Fault Tickets we get.
In one sense, I'm glad Microsoft is doing everything in its power to kill off On-Prem Exchange and Hosted Exchange. It'll be their M365 problem. However, it will have a detrimental effect on our business once our Hosted Exchange is defunct.
We get a lot of moans that TEAMS & CoPilot only integrates with M365 email accounts.
Lyle, a walking haunted houseYeah. My #1 take away about running an email system is "pay someone else to do it if at all possible".
It's rough, and getting worse all the time.
