  1. Unsere Mastodon-Instanz kann wieder E-Mails versenden! 📧✅

    Ein technisches Problem bei der Absenderprüfung auf unserem Mailserver (mailcow) hatte den Versand blockiert. Konkret wurden Adressen mit Plus-Addressing (wie [email protected]) abgelehnt, da der Server den Suffix nicht als Alias akzeptiert hat. Das ist nun korrigiert! 🛠️

  2. I just had a brainwave : instead of creating a mailing list to have a joint e-mail address for partners, all you need to do is to create a redirect rule that says that any mail sent to [email protected] gets copied to [email protected] and vice versa. That way you'll never need to forward a shipment tracking or train ticket email again ! Of course this supposes your MTA supports plus addressing but that's mostly everyone these days. I found this archive describing the feature back in 2005 web.archive.org/web/2008060503

  3. Okay, this is weird: when creating accounts online that require an #email address I always (well, when they allow it) use #plusaddressing and tag it with the name of the site. That way if I get #spam to that address I know who leaked/sold my details.

    But today I got spam with a plus-address that I’ve never heard of, and isn’t in my password safe. Are spammers using plus-addressing for some reason?

    The address, fwiw, was garyp+gumroad@<my_domain>

    I’ve never heard of #gumroad 🤷🏻‍♂️

  4. I hate booking forms (and others, but specifically bookings) that don't accept subaddressing (plus-addressing) in email addresses and insist on "you must enter a valid email address". You stupid brain dead web developers! Read and understand that damn RFC 5233!
    rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5233

    Or if that's too sophisticated for you then at least Wikipedia
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_ad
