Nachdem das mit der Zeit immer schlimmer wird, scheint es das zu sein, was die meisten toll finden. Warum öffentlich rechtliche Sender da mitmachen, kann keiner erklären. Ich meine, MDR JUMP war der erste, der nach eine Umstrukturierung mit dem Dreck anfing.
That's not true. I run my own email server for 15+ years now. There are only 5 of 6 mailboxes. I never had a problem with any other host. Not Microsoft, not Google. Maybe, the reason was, the IP was also 15+ years assigned to the same domain. I have only known senders, family and friends.
The last days, the hole subnet was blacklisted on some blacklists. So that was not my fault, the growing business of the provider lead to this situation. Eventually I moved to a very small provider and run a mail cow on a vps. On a fresh IP without any reputation. Same 'customers', the only issue was with T-Online in Germany, but a mail solved this. To keep this kind of issues away, I use sendgrid as a SMTP forward. With only a few mails per day, this is free. Mailcow provides a lot of features, rspam filtering, a lot better and faster than spamassin. Active sync, imap, webmail, everything. Solid backup, runs without any problem.
Was ist in den letzten Jahren mit Fahrschulen und Prüfern passiert? Zu meiner Zeit war das keine Demütigung. Fahrschule war nett, wenn man als Beispiel schon Moped hatte waren die Pflichtstunden und fertig. Prüfer hat seine Tricks versucht, die aber jeder kannte. Keiner hat da jemanden extra geärgert. Normal halt.
Das sowas kommen muss, ist sinnvoll. Vor 50 Jahren musste man 3h inkl. Prüfung fahren und paar Fragen beantworten. Sportwagen hatten 60PS. In der Zwischenzeit ist einiges passiert. Ich war erstaunt, das einige Dinge anders geregelt sind, als ich neulich meiner Nichte bei Theorie helfen wollte...
Bissl armselig, wo immer ein Platz auftaucht, wo man bunte Pixel platzieren kann, erscheint automatisch eine deutsche Flagge und wird von irgendwelchen wenig kreativen Personen "sauber" gehalten.
Ist das ironisch?
So halb. Es gibt jedes Jahr 300, aber da nicht jedes Jahr 300 abgerufen werden, gibt es nächstes Jahr nur 3 und die 297 die von den Vorjahren übrig sind, werden noch mal gezählt. Also eigentlich stimmt 99% reduziert, wie aber schön gerechnet. Wäre so, wie wenn Mutti plötzlich für das Taschengeld immer wieder in die Sparbüche greift und jede Woche den 10er von dort zeigt.
I'm trying Sync, Infinity and Thunder. I like Sync and Thunder because I like the polished UI. Infinity looks and feels kinda 'old'. But this is just me. All three deliver the feeling of coming home. They work like before, but with Lemmy features like images in comments. It's like Reddit but on the fediverse.
mailcow lists a small german vps hoster with a fair price and the right sizing. It's not a big hoster, gmail and microsoft are not blocking the ip-range and the ASN is not listed on any blacklist.
The support is quick and helpful, rDNS was a matter of minutes to set up. You don't need any deeper knowlegde of docker, since it is a one-time job to set the things up und get the stack running. The documentation of mailcow is very good.
You can run it from home, but you will need a forward host like sendgrid and maybe a backup mx. You can set a primary ip and a backup ip wich will get all the mails when the primary host is down. I guess, there a comercial or free backup-mx services out there. No problem. If you have a static ip for your homelab or at least a dynamic dns-name, it will work. Recieving is easy. But you will need a good forward-service for sending.
Just take a look at https://docs.mailcow.email/
This runs from a small box with everything included. It gives you all the tools and config needed for running a secure and feature rich email service. Webmail, some sort of exchange emulation, webcalender on top of a solid postfix/dovecot install with rspamd as spam filter. Everything is configurable via a nice web UI.
After 15y running my own mail service and editing a lot of config files, I use this piece of free and open software and find it very good. All you need is a box somewhere in the internet. Running from a homelab will instantly fail, expect you have a static ip.

Don't forget, iMessage is not using SMS. It's like WhatsApp or all other messengers, but Apple only. It uses the same app, but that's it. And yes, no one pays for texts, because all plans have texts included. Some prepaid plans maybe.
