@evan @mav Postfix is a dream compared to Sendmail. The only thing that sucks is cloud providers inability to regulate spam generators on their services.

@starlily @evan @mav I got my first spam follow today and this is certainly where my chief concern lies -- I hear that running a solo email server often sucks mainly because of how nightmarish it is to deal with spam and not get labelled as spam yourself.

@trenchworms @evan @mav Because spammers are stupid and do not use real MTAs, it is trivial to block 90% of them with basic tools like RBLs, greylisting, and header checks.
Getting yourself whitelisted at Google and MS is harder, but just tedious, not impossible.
