Rest my head against wall - mail server [P-II]

2020-08-18

Someone reached out regarding the posts I made on fossil forum. First thing I noticed was booglemail header, I knew that instance my reply would be swallowed as spam. I did send and I got a re-reply back!! Initially I thought that person was too good to check spams, but no.

I sent mail to few web peasants (my family), surprise it landed fine.

But how?

Not entirely sure, no big diffs from previous setup.

• Let it settle - when I had a working mail server, my domain was just 2 weeks old (it's a month now?)
• Tons of DMARC reports - DMARC policy p=reject caused failing reports to postmaster when used on OBSD-misc mailing list, it's p=none now (This shouldn't matter when sending direct)
• Fresh MTA-STS - updated MTA-STS published policy few times and incremented version number

I cannot pin point what's the cause, anyways on my way to BRAG.

Title pun

I always mess up when I recommend

Heatmiser - Rest my head against wall (btw, great song)

as s/Rest/Hit/ (which is previous title on this series)
