hey ‍s is there any reason why I shouldn't self-host Mastodon email? just the outgoing stuff Masto produces

@noiob (i.w uses selfhosted mail and it mostly arrives fine these days, even for google. It just takes a while until servers decide you’re a good citizen. If you previously had mailgun or whatever and sent plenty of mail that didn’t ger flagged spam, maybe it’s shorter, who knows.)

@halcy we're using Mailgun right now, is that different?

@halcy oh right they probably come from Mailgun's servers but just pretend they're from awoo.space

@noiob yeah, you presumably have them set as your MX (i.e. DNS is set to say „mail for awoo comes from and goes to here“). If you change to selfhosted, that the domain has a good track record MAY help even when the IP has not, but Who Knows Spam Filters Are Weird.
