I want to send transactional emails not promotional emails so why are you forcing me to do this. eat shit sendgrid.
@tyil I did that for years professionally and I recommend not doing that because deliverability of self hosted email is unacceptably low.

@Moon @tyil I’ve been using a self hosted mail server for 3 years, and the only trouble I ever had with it was from Craigslist, and that was just because I forgot to set the reverse DNS on my IP address.

@Coyote @tyil I've had this discussion many times. Some people have no problems, other people have nothing but problems. A lot of it is because of what IP block you're coming from.

I worked at a company, we had the same IP range since the 1990s. Manageable spam, deliverability good. We had way too big of a block of IPs so we sold it and bought a smaller block. That block got continuous spam and deliverability went into the toilet. After a year of fighting it we just got gmail for business.

@Moon @tyil @Coyote the ip block is very important. from my experience, hetzner or ovh are not going to be delivered even jumping through all the hoops, smaller clean providers sometimes get delivered even without much extra work.
