What’s up, what’s down and what are you not sure about?
Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.
I finally finished my first iteration of my Minilab including a very smooth migration from the old server yesterday so I can go to the service side of things again. I plan to get some kind of selfhosters VPN for external access to stuff that’s not exposed to the internet, I’ll have to investigate which one.
I’m currently trying to figure out why my email server got blocked by Proofpoint and they refuse to talk to me. Really about ready to give up on email after self-hosting it for a decade with few problems.
Check RBLs a lot of times services just use one of those, and they can be flaky. Usually, you can fill out a form and get reinstated.

I’m not on any of those blacklists, luckily. I guess Proofpoint doesn’t publish theirs. At least iCloud and Gmail both use them. I saw one hint that they may require mail servers to literally have the word “mail” as the subdomain, so I’m working up the courage to mess around with my perfectly working DNS.
Oh that sucks! One would think that after that long, it’d be somewhat established.
RIGHT?!
There is still the relay through the cloud route (SES, but also at least Scaleway)
Part of me thinks if I have to pay for a relay service, I should just pay for hosted email. But I’ve definitely been considering it!
