The Google AI itself just informed me that Google can ask me for ID if it suspects that I may be under 18. Does anyone know if this has already happened to someone? I have important accounts that I need my gmail to log into. What email provider do you recommend that I use instead? I’m aware of tuta and protonmail but are they reliable that they will not one day shut down the way Skiff email did?
If you get your own domain, it gets difficult to be able to send anyone an email.
It has gotten really bad. Tons of small email domains get marked as spam by major email providers.
Interesting, it might’ve changed, I’ve had my domain for 5+ years by now, but if you set up all the signing keys, DKIM, SPF, and whatever properly, I never had a single issue as far as I know.
But I never tried sending my own emails - I’ve been using Protonmail’s custom domain option, which I’m sure helps. Running your own mailserver without a trusted provider might be a lot more problematic, I never even considered it. The idea wasn’t to run my own mailserver, but to be able to move my custom domain to a different provider that supports custom domains, so I don’t have to change my email anywhere.
I just made sure that my domain is passing all the email domain checker tests, and as long as I don’t get on a blacklist, I should be fine.
I second this, custom domain on Proton, DKIM, SPF, DMARC all setup, have never had anyone complain about emails not coming through.
The only thing I’ll add is that I did actually go through a migration from M365 to Proton and it was pretty painless, this was a while ago so the process might be better now, but I just exported a PST, used the bridge connector to add proton to Outlook, then imported the PST, once it synced I got rid of my Microslop licensing and switched to the official Proton Mail app, though lately I’ve just been using the web app since I haven’t installed too many apps since switching over to Linux.
