Just from this screenshot, seems like it makes the water more blocky than it was.

side note: According to the article, this is primarily for the Bedrock version right now and the Java version will get it later.

Torrents and Archive.org are the best ways I think. A third option would be to also upload to Z-Library.

All 3 for maximum redundancy. If you get a torrent going and don’t want to make a z-lib account, I can upload it there for you. Either way, I’d love to help you seed and spread all these datas.

I don’t think the SPF / DKIM / DMARC stuff is overly complex nor the core of the problem.

It’s not the core of the issue, but the average joe that is a hobbyist self-hoster it will be.

IMO, the core issue is that there is no standard whatsoever. People just do whatever the hell they want with these records, pretty much. Microsoft and Google do it differently than each other, even.

The only solution for me is that we move on from email as a society.

Yea, if you are not willing to be meticulous about learning/understanding all the DNS stuff (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and plan to host this at home, don’t.

I ran this same system for a very long time on a VPS and had no problems with blacklists, but I’m also a career systems engineer that maintained enterprise systems and exchange servers.

Also note how I am speaking of MIAB in the past tense…

I think the better option is to try and avoid email as much as you can, just like SMS. Outdated tech and not secure. At that point, any ol’ existing email service is good enough.
