seasoning my question this time is the fact that in March, most major
email pockets, Apple, Google, Yahoo, all started requiring email

place called you.com
Goal is to keep spam from using hosts as a cover.
You need to use a server that properly supports the DKIM, SPF and DMARC
standards, otherwise, recipients are more likely to classify your
messages as spam. This is reality. To handle mailing list posts, the ARC
standard should also be implemented.
Since I run my own mail server, it is compatible with everything,
including Mutt, Alpine and other client-side software that Speakup users
are likely to want. Commercial providers are increasingly complicating
the authentication process, for legitimate reasons, hence anyone working
from the Linux console will find it increasingly hard to connect, though
not impossible.
