I've been moving my important email off #Gmail to #Tuta since late last year.

Visible benefits are less spam, but the intangible benefits of knowing Google no longer knows when I get paid, when my credit score has changed, when my payments are due, or who I've just opened an account with, and isn't selling that data on are what makes it worthwhile.

It's also a great way to remind you to #unsubscribe from all the things.

Holy crap!
I really want to host my own email service, but I was just looking at mail-in-a-box and mailcow docs and it sound HARD! also the hardware requirements for mailcow are insane (8gb ram for 5-10 users? And 40gb space?)

Have been wanting to do this for a long time but these things are preventing me to.

I can now ward off being shit canned by google for sending emails another few years I guess, at the cost of yet more TXT records, and this time some LE certs and hosting a text file on a webserver.

Hey folks! I'm working on getting a newsletter set up for my city council campaign and wanted to see if anyone had email newsletter tools they particularly liked! This is a prime subject for SEO trash, so I'd prefer to ask real humans than a search engine or AI. Anyone have newsletter software they like? I know of a few but wanted to see what else was out there.

I hate when you buy something online and then 5min after you pick it up, they send you an email like “please rate your purchase”

I’m still in the parking lot

I haven’t gotten it to my home yet

It’s still in the box

It’s a gift, maybe I should forward this to them?
