The button is weirdly misshapen right now and I'm having troubl

Email Falling To Spam
Today, a friend emailed me from their personal domain name and it fell into my spam folder because their DMARC isn't configured correctly. That reminded me of my own history of spam problems at Lee.org. (previously)
I gave up on trying to run my own email (via Dreamhost.com) a few years ago because even though I had all the elements right, my outgoing emails kept falling into people's spam folde

Scoring is so complicated. I made most of my choices based on "ooh, that's
