I recently became aware of a new small-net protocol (thanks to @wholesomedonut ) —

Misfin
gemini://misfin.org/
https://sr.ht/~lem/misfin/

Where the gemini-protocol is an alternative to the gopher-protocol and the Web — Misfin is an alternative to e-mail.

Misfin is tied to the gemini-protocol & gemtext — messages are assumed to be gemtext, server responses are based on gemini-protocol server responses, etc.

Friends, what #email client are you running on #Linux these days?

I've been running #Thunderbird since... the beginning?

The last few weeks I've tried a few other clients. #Evolution is decent but the GUI is stuck in the past, rough edges, clunky.

#Geary is ok. More modern but a little simplistic and I can't seem to find a way to disable threading (do not like). Graphically slow as well it seems.

What graphical client are you using that you like? What is it that you like about it?

New blogpost: "Configuring dovecot as a separate mail server for encrypted email storage, and fighting with Thunderbird to accept it"

I woke up far too early this morning, so I thought I'd write up a small project I undertook a few months back, as part of my decoded.legal ISO-27001-ish programme.

It was pretty straightforward, right up until I had to fight with Thunderbird, and wow was Thunderbird a complete pain here. But I won!

A stupid thread dominating the #Postfix ML this week has me mourning the death of my profession.

Some sub-bozo sysadmin really wants an official Postfix container to exist. Because he really wants to be able to manage everything with #Kubernetes. Or maybe because he wants to be the guy who maintains the official Postfix container...

#PSA: If you believe that your #email server can or should be managed with #k8s, or Docker, or Podman, you should reconsider your career choices.

I do not like ProtonMail. I get that it's supposed to be more secure, but honestly? I don't particularly see email as a secure medium.

This is just a personal preference I'm expressing, but:

• Their web UIs seem to try to be glitzy and flashy but lack some of the basic rock solid functionality I look for.
• I resent the idea that it's freemium, unless I want to use standard mail protocols, in which case it's premium. (I have NO problem paying. Just charge me!)

I am vastly happier with my @fastmail experience in just about every way. I'm not trying to beat on anyone, just expressing what I see and the conclusions I have come to as a happy/unhappy customer of each service.

Hi Fediverse, we're Thunderbird, an #opensource #email client available for free on Linux, macOS and Windows. (And coming next year to Android. FINALLY, right?)

You can use Thunderbird for managing an unlimited number of mail accounts, calendars, newsgroup accounts, and RSS feeds. You can also chat using your @matrix account.

💙 LIKES: Open standards, privacy, freedom, customization.

🚫 DISLIKES: Proprietary code.

I hope to hear from @Tutanota very soon. Lack of key verification is a major flaw in the technical design of the platform, allowing a malicious Tuta server to read end-to-end encrypted exchanges (both emails and shared calendars).

https://github.com/tutao/tutanota/issues/768

The issue has been opened 6 years ago.

#Security #Privacy #Crypto #Cryptography #Email #FOSS

Alt...

Message posted on the GitHub issue titled "Manual key verification": "This issue has been opened for more than 6 years now, with no clear roadmap or even real consideration from the Tuta team. I have to say, I am disappointed. You keep saying that "[...] Tuta [is] the most secure email service on the market.", but without key verification, a malicious Tuta server can read the end-to-end encrypted emails and shared calendars exchanged on the platform as there is no way to verify the recipients' public key. As explained by @llebout, "all users of Tutanota must trust Tutanota to not provide forged keys and perform an MITM attack". This is a significant flaw in the technical design of the platform, and it does not seem to bother you. In #198, it can be read that: > We are aware of the issues with verification, new protocol will support verification, the work is underway However, your post-quantum implementation has now landed but still no word on the key verification issue. Could you please stand by what you have said from day 1, that you prioritise security and privacy, and establish a clear roadmap of the work already undertaken or to be done to fix the situation? Thank you"

Dear #AskFedi,

a mail client for #Linux that can display mails from multiple accounts in one view (unified inbox)?

For now I only know that it can be haxxxed in Evolution, but would like avoid workarounds, as they tend to backfire in my face (today made KMail crash dbus and my session).

Edit: unfortunately I'm using Gmail, so if I have to access Google's developer console, then I'll pass.

Le sigh. It appears #mozilla is too distracted with #AI and #LLMs to run their good old #email correctly. Maybe they should buy @mwl 's #RYOMS and learn a thing or two.

I signed up for their community forums so I could comment on the AI experiment in Nightly. This, as you can imagine, is getting A LOT of noise and I think mozilla is trying to email me and tell me that things have happened on that thread. I'm not getting the emails. My upstream mail receiver is showing 775 messages queued up for me, that my email server keeps rejecting. Let's look at why.

1. The host community.mozilla.ORG is a CNAME to bnzry48543.lithium.com.
2. bnzry48543.lithium.com. is a CNAME for d3rxjeenbqqyxw.cloudfront.net., which is AWS's CloudFront CDN service.
3. There are no MX records for community.mozilla.ORG because there cannot be any others. If you're a CNAME, you can't have any other records. God only knows why there is this extra lithium.com CNAME in there. Probably so they can have an Alias record in a hosted AWS zone. (Hint: this is the dumb way to do it. The right way is to create community.mozilla.org as a Route53 zone, so you can get the Alias records for CloudFront, then in your mozilla.org zone you create NS records for the Route53 zone. Look at how I do blog.paco.to at AWS, when paco.to DNS is not hosted at AWS for an example).
4. The Mozilla community software is sending emails out with a from address of community@connect.mozilla.COM.
5. If you run dig connect.mozilla.com any you will find (assuming you find the same as me), a single, solitary TXT record: "v=spf1 include:%{i}._ip.%{h}._ehlo.%{d}._spf.vali.email ~all". I'm not up enough on fancy-ass SPF records, but what I can tell you is that there is NO MX record for connect.mozilla.com. That makes it a pretty illegitimate domain to be on the righthand side of an @ in email. If I would like to send email to community@connect.mozilla.com, where should I direct that mail? Undefined. Ergo, illegitimate.

So, at the moment, my SMTP upstream and I are stuck in a bit of an argument. They've accepted the email from connect.mozilla.com and when they present it to my mail server, I say 'illegal domain, man. fuck off.' Well, they're a little stuck. They can't send that rejection back to the originator, because that's not possible (No MX record). So they pause, consider their life choices, and try again. I'm currently fielding 1800 attempts per hour and I have no idea how many of those are the umpteenth retry of something sent 5 days ago, and how many are a first email that was sent this morning. (It's no big deal. I mentioned it to my support folks, they'll get it fixed soon)

Maybe someone at Mozilla can ask #ChatGPT "How do I configure DNS records for email?" and get a halfway competent reply. I wish they'd just work on #firefox features that I want, instead.

@thibaultmol @verge Do you like managing multiple accounts? Do you like checking them all for incoming messages and syncing cross-posting between them? I don’t.

People made this argument in the 1980s before widespread Internet #email. “We already have accounts on [AOL, CompuServe, MCI Mail, GEnie, Delphi, BIX, Prodigy…] What do I gain by using just one?”

And then they gradually added Internet email just as social networks today are joining the #fediverse.

Nine years ago, @protonprivacy had to wheedle #Google into restoring #ProtonMail’s #search ranking for terms like “secure #email” and “encrypted email.” https://proton.me/blog/search-risk-google

I strongly disagree with their conclusion that Google is a #monopoly that needed to be reined in by #AntiTrust (see https://courses.AynRand.org/lexicon/monopoly and https://courses.AynRand.org/lexicon/antitrust-laws). But it was still really crazy.

I wish Google had explicitly answered whether this was deliberate or an anti-blackhat #SEO mistake.

#email #mailserver #selfhosting

@leberschnitzel I've gone one step further and added an auto-create alias for my custom domain in the #SimpleLogin web app (https://simplelogin.io/docs/custom-domain/manage-domain/) that lets me give out any working #email address as long as it has "nospam" at the beginning or end.

That way, I don't have to open @simplelogin's app to give a local business a unique address; I can just tell it to them verbally, write it on their sign-up sheet, or enter it at a #PointOfSale terminal like those made by #Square, #ToastTab, etc.

@kytta If the site refuses to allow you to register with an #email address containing its name, add it to the alias description in the @simplelogin extension or (web) app and choose a random prefix instead. You'll have to use the #SimpleLogin app again to match an unwanted email against its source, but at least you'll have a record.
