Stalwart mail server (self-hosted all-in-one mail server) now as an admin webui
It's interesting how there is now
* Maddy: https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy
* Mox: https://github.com/mjl-/mox
* and Stalwart
which all see to aim for more or less the same niche. I wonder if we'll see two of those merge eventually.

Trap and test AWS SES emails locally
Pitching my own: https://github.com/mjl-/mox has a "mox localserve" subcommand that runs a mail server on localhost for testing, including a pedantic mode and special addresses that cause failure conditions you may want to test for. This is actually a full mail server (SMTP, IMAP and much more) and it comes with a webmail client. The "localserve" mode was just so easy to implement that I couldn't resist.

You Can't Trust Google
Just run your own mail server on a Pi at home and get your ISP to set up a PTR record for you, assuming you are on a static IP. Mox is good and outputs all of the instructions for DNS etc.:

Warm up a mail server
I have setup a mail server (thank you mox ) hosted on VPS in Linode and everything seems fine: no issue on SPF, DMARC, DKIM records, the reputation of the domain and of the IP is okay and the IP is not in any blacklist. Unfortunately, Google and MS are rejecting my emails, even if I added the DNS records that they asked to add in order validate my domain.

Stalwart mail server (self-hosted all-in-one mail server) now as an admin webui
https://blame.email/ is a website that does this. I wrote a Lua checker for rspamd that bypasses the spam filter if the address is "signed". I also have a bookmarklet that generates a signed address and inserts it into the current text field.

Email obfuscation: What still works in 2023?
While it doesn't stop spam, I have been using a catch-all email system for a while now.
The benefit is that I know where someone got my email from, and I can then try to figure out whether the place has been compromised, or whether they're selling my email, etc. And I can just blacklist that particular address forever as well.
Previously, I just did [email protected], but I've switched to something similar to blame.email [1].
This makes my emails look a little weirder, but it has stopped the weird looks I'd get when walking into a physical place, like my doctor, and telling them "Yeah, email me at @.com".
It also makes it less obvious that its effectively a throwaway email, particularly combined with my domain; it looks fitting. And since each address is salted and hashed, it pretty much eliminates the risk of someone successfullying trying to phish me by sending me an email to something like `[email protected]`.
Lastly, on my HN profile and elsewhere, I've got my "email", but despite them being unique, I still don't want to have to rotate it if it gets picked up by a spambot, so I've tried to do some plaintext simple "obfuscation" like in the article.
I went for
~АТ~ . -- with the "AT" being Cyrillic rather than Latin - I figure at least some will get tripped up by not being able to use purely English regex.So far, I have yet to receive any spam with that strategy. Maybe I'm lucky or just not getting indexed, or maybe it's working a little.

FYI Namecheap is selling your e-mail or is compromised.
Just tossing this here for reference: https://blame.email/
- For anyone new getting into IT, avoid giving out your personal or work phone number as long as possible. As once you do your job will get much more annoying
