Not everyone can or should self-host, but there is a lot of middle ground between self-hosting and putting everything on #AWS.
Federated protocols like #XMPP, #ActivityPub, and #SMTP give you choice.

Question technique.
Je voudrais monter un "petit" service d'emails de type RSS to Newsletter.
En gros pour offrir depuis un service de newsletter sur un site depuis son flux #Rss
Je ne trouve pas de service simple proposant cela et surtout très RGPD compliant et situé en France/Europe.
Le point qui me bloque c'est de trouver le service de Smtp-relay par lequel passer.
Vous auriez des idées/recommandations ?
Ou plus simplement un tel service vous intéresserait ?
Are there any reliable and trusted "self-hosted" options for email? Ie. you get a private VPS with your own SMTP-server running.
Basically all that would be required to run your own "email" server. But not be part of a shared hosting setup.
heh. with another 70 weeks of log data to sift through, the count of imaginary friends at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/traplist.shtml just rolled past seven million (also see https://nxdomain.no/~peter/eighteen_years_of_greytrapping.html or tracked https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2025/08/eighteen-years-of-greytrapping-is.html) #spamtraps #imaginaryfriends #spamd #smtp #cybercrime #openbsd

It's heartwarming to a greying geek that a 5000+ words retrospective on greytrapping is turning out to be popular - https://nxdomain.no/~peter/eighteen_years_of_greytrapping.html (tracked https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2025/08/eighteen-years-of-greytrapping-is.html)

It's now been a week since my population of spamtraps rolled past the number of inhabitants in my home country of Norway. Here is the retrospective:

Friends, it finally happened. On August 7th, 2025, the number of spamtraps intended to fool spammers rolled past the number of inhabitants in my home country of Norway. It's time for a retrospective.

Recently I found out that when I sent mail to GOOG hosted domains, they would mark my messages as spam or disappear then entirely.
Then today a mailing list host's spamassassin rejected my message.
It turned out that somebody had reported bsdly.blogspot.com (GOOG hosted, but referenced in my .signature) to spamhaus as malicious, and GOOG + the mailing list hoster believed them.
Got delisted, no problem. So which party is to blame here, or what method?

In 2013 I wrote up "Maintaining A Publicly Available Blacklist - Mechanisms And Principles" (also https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2013/04/maintaining-publicly-available.html) . TL;DR: blocklisting is a kind of public shaming, be sure your process is verifiable and transparent.

The BIG MAIL operators disappear valid mail. We have all seen it happen.
I am pondering starting a campaign to collect war stories with as much log data and other relevant data as possible in order to write an article which may evolve into something else.
If you have potentially useful input, I want to hear from you.

5/5 TbSync was a small challenge because, as has happened in the past with major Thunderbird updates, it was declared unsupported and automatically disabled by Thunderbird 140esr. Following the instructions in https://github.com/jobisoft/TbSync/issues/753#issuecomment-3051737579 (file-based reinstall of TbSync and EAS-4-TbSync) resolves the issue for now.

3/5 Right now, Exchange requires add-ons to work. Usually this means TbSync or OWL. Each of these has its own set of features and limitations to consider. Account Hub will show you Exchange in two flavors… one says “add-on required” and the other doesn’t. It’s the latter one that is the native integration in experimental form at this time (and does email ONLY for now).

4/5 Until now, I have been using IMAP+SMTP, and TbSync for address books and calendars. After going through a few iterations, I have now settled on using Exchange (native, experimental) accounts (yes, plural) for email and sticking with TbSync for calendars and address books.

2/5 Further, the “native” connection to EWS/OWA within Thunderbird is only available in 140 when you enable a custom setting (search for “ews”). What you see in the new Account Hub will depend on whether that custom setting is enabled.
