I had a self hosted email for a while and I was often considered spam. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] drathvedro@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago I tell them to go fuck themselves. A more serious problem is that unless you sign up with a provider that has all of the encryption/verification stuff sorted out and a significant amount of outgoing mail, your messages will go straight to spam for everyone else. permalink fedilink source parent [β] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) I've never encountered a site which had an allow list of domain names. The hardest thing about self hosting an email server is most home ISPs will block SMTP as it's a source of spam. Usually this requires business level ISP or an SMTP relay, both which aren't usually free from what you're already paying for home internet. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] lemmyrolinga@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) My local cinema locked my account after I changed my old GM for SimpleLogin. They told me I must use "non temporary or encrypted email" to log in. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) That's not an allowlist though, SimpleLogin was on a denylist, possible because of high rates of spam. An allow list would be if they only allowed @gmail.com for example. If you have your own domain and set it up to use Proton Mail, you shouldn't have any problems. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] lemmyrolinga@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) Well... More or less. They specifically told me that I needed a "public domain email" and that it couldn't be encrypted. I read their ToS and it wasn't written anywhere. They didn't sound like they were too tech savvy and I had to insist before I got that answer. They are most likely just a call center with a manual to follow. What I bothered the most is that they allowed me to change the mail. The kept sending me (wanted) ads there and I could login into their site. They even kept charging my subscription. Until I tried to pay for extra tickets. That broke their system and got stuck. After that I couldn't even use the tickets I already had in my account from the subscription. I'm not proud to admit that I finally caved and went back to my old mail for the moment. I even had to show them an ID (which at least partially defaced before) so that I could use the tickets I has already paid for permalink fedilink source parent [β] piefedderatedd@piefed.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) What ?
