@Paul_Taylor I run a self hosted mail server. It's kinda hard to get right, but the requirements seem absolutely reasonable and you can fulfil them.
I don't really see them abusing their market power there ... just yet. (I think they are just waiting for email to die the natural death)

@helge @Paul_Taylor no, they're actively taking steps to strangle it. we fulfil the requirements but none of our mail gets through because we aren't big enough to register any reputation in their system.

@helge @Paul_Taylor I agree it's still possible to run your own mail server. It's got harder over the 25 years I've been doing it for... I now have SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSSEC and full IPv6 support with rDNS, and I'm just an enthusiastic #HomeLab user with a domestic IP address. As far as I'm aware, my emails are getting delivered to people's inboxes.
