@kitten I'm not quite shure how to parse this. And Microsoft is known for its proprietary bs they are doing. ... And by now also for it's bugs.

And I'm just getting started with networking and self hosting / setting up own infrastructure. So my issue is literally that I don't know what I'm doing yet, which is for things I heavily rely on like e-mail where I can't be like well I'm going to be unavailable for a week or so reach me via ... Signal simply not feasible.

@SillyDemon @alina it means that tl;dr: you can be doing everything right and still get your mail blocked by some big providers, which for instance Microsoft is known to do (without even making anyone aware of it)

and since a big chunk of people use Outlook, at the end of the day most people end up needing to care about them

@kitten @SillyDemon when replying to people who mail you from outlook, i can recommend using an email relay that is whitelisted by microsoft, like duckduckgo

i just use my alina@duck.com mail for that and it always worked so far

@alina thanks for the hint, I'll see what I'll do once I'll set things up which is probably at least 1/2 rather 1 year ahead.

Maybe starting a phone war with companies referring to my emails and getting an insurance for law cases beforehand ...?

Could be fun, but also would cost a huge amount of energy I don't have right now ... and due to German law I wouldn't even see a payout for those efforts in case I win that and force change.
So will likely not happen, but I'd like to.
