Oh I've been waiting for this. https://blog.fastmail.com/2017/06/26/dark-theme/
Good time to recommend FastMail again, I use it for all my mail, personal and business. 50$/year, 2FA and no ads of course, good spam filter, custom domains and aliases (including wildcards), SMTP/IMAP with unique app passwords, good Android app.
It's a serious mail service and much more reliable and time saving than managing your own mail servers.
@skquinn yes, though I've mostly needed them for the custom domains feature.
@CobaltVelvet The point at which my webhost's "forward everything emailed to any address at the domain to a designated email address" no longer meets my needs, I will probably wind up just running my own email server on a VPS. Though it's nice to know Fastmail can do that too if needed.
@skquinn I've been doing so for a few years. Then I redirected everything to FM and wrote this : :p https://blog.xomg.net/hosting-your-own-mail-server-for-security.html
I still have one SMTP server for a domain with many users, but it forwards my mail to FM so I can not store any of it without strong 2FA.
@CobaltVelvet Are you sure that's the right URL for the blog post? I can't get it to load.
@skquinn aww, is there any error?
skquinn@moonpatrol:~$ host blog.xomg.net
Host blog.xomg.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
@skquinn $ host blog.xomg.net
blog.xomg.net has address 212.47.237.109
huh, I'm guessing DNSSEC. I'll see if namecheap broke something again.
@CobaltVelvet If I ask the servers on xomg.net's whois record I get the proper reply. So this could be another Comcastic issue...
@skquinn There are a few errors here: https://dnssec-debugger.verisignlabs.com/blog.xomg.net
I disabled DNSSEC at namecheap, it should work in a few minutes.
@CobaltVelvet Works now. Great post, btw.
@CobaltVelvet And wow, their privacy policy is really nice. Also looks like I would have more juridic protection by using them than my own or buddies server in France…
@lanodan_tmp yes, I think I read something about Australia being great for that some time ago.
@CobaltVelvet maybe I should finally move my mail account. I'm still with gmail 🤔
@CobaltVelvet lovely. Now, if only it was a service *not* in a Five Eyes country.
@dataKnightmare I *think* there was something about Australia and e-mails, if you want to search about it.
@CobaltVelvet There are less expensive levels than the $50/year for personal accounts on one of Fastmail's domains. I have been a happy Fastmail user for a few years now.
