Every time I enter Lemmy World, it has a network error or verifies my account. (lemmy.world)

Is this a singular occurrence for me, or is it prevalent across the instance?

It keeps saying that my account is not in a ready state.

It also does this for Lemmy ML and Blahaj Zone.

Yes, but that block is normally in a form of being marked as spam. This is different. Mail gets dropped without ever reaching the recipient's mailbox.

As an aside, I have been running my own mailserver for years and it's been working fine since the beginning. Getting marked as spam here and there, but for the most part - fine. I'll shift the mail setup at some point to have proper dkim support, but for now all I can say is - avoid gmail.

I understand how spam was a problem and why, at a glance, it seemed like a great idea to simply block any email that does not come from a previously known/trusted IP. However, in my opinion, all this has achieved are two things:

Massive centralisation of email - nobody can host their own easily anymore. You have to pay to get any semblance of guaranteed delivery
Dumbing down of the general populace - "you don't need to understand how any of this works! Here, use our service and it will just work!" Which also makes people complain to me about something as free (liberty) as email not being set up on google or aws. Screw those guys, I want my free internet.

Interesting. I don't really want to get into troubleshooting, but general curiosity has me wondering a few things since my server gets delivered to Gmail but only marked as spam for a new domain for the first couple weeks.

Is there a hard spf fail? Is your IP or domain on any blacklists? Is it a digital ocean or similar vps provider using their IP pool? Do you get any bounce back from Gmail with a reason or is it silently dropping?

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, it's digitalocean and yes, I get a bounced message telling me to use an email provider. I have some plans that involve a wider setup than just my lemmy instance, hence the delay in implementation.

Ah yea. I've seen the whole digital ocean IP space be blocked. They really dont like digital ocean.
