From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Moving to gmail, not from it?

Google isn't exactly your friend and will not get better.

Your right, but it’s for my business and my understanding is that other email providers may have their emails marked as spam even when it’s just confirmation email, receipt, or appointment reminders.

I don’t want to risk having mail not delivered and having it translate to a lost sale or a poor customer experience.

You could still go to a professional email hoster, no need to do it all yourself.

Google mostly blocks email without SPF and they have a couple more rules, but they document those on their website.
