I never ceases to amaze me that mail systems do this shit. I know it was a thing with Sendmail but most of us have moved on or at least fixed the stupid mailer flags.

I understand it's fashionable to disable password login and instead force people to retrieve one-time passwords from their mailbox. This works better if you first verify that you can actually deliver #email to your users. (Totally random thought definitely not inspired by real events.)

I find it really amuzing that IT-departments around the world is just plainly copying the example DNS-records in my blog-posts about DMARC.

The #email address is one of the most important services you have: It is not only used for communication, but as part of the login credential for nearly all other services it also serves as your digital identity and backup for most of your accounts (e.g. when you need to reset your password, etc.). That makes it your most important hub for all digital services, and becomes a detailed profile of…

Outside of automated messages from various systems I care about or watch, I haven't gotten a single #email or #teams msg.

I have set up my Thunderbird to use plain text and "interleaved, quote under" style, which is also the recommendation of the Linux Kernel mailing list. By default, it doesn't quote at all.

Oh the delights of POP3. I've restored download from a mailbox which had been failing for months, and now Thunderbird is helpfully redownloading 5000 emails from the past 8 years. I guess this means I'll be able to test the "Remove Duplicate Messages" plugin once again today.

Zwei Tage ohne Zugriff auf mein privates Mailkonto. Der Provider hat offenbar ein grösseres Problem.
Seltsames Gefühl...
Wir sind schon ziemlich abhängig und ziemlich verletzlich, so als Gesellschaft.
