A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's not only self-hosted email that is affected. My main email address is the one attached to my domain, which I've owned for over 20 years, and is managed by my webhosting company, a perfectly respectable, legitimate business that at one point handled about a third of all internet traffic in my country. This company is, nevertheless, not considered trustworthy enough for emails through their servers to reliably be delivered to their destination. I increasingly have to use an email address from a major multinational corporation because the email address from a merely large national corporation only has a 50/50 chance of reaching the recipient.
