Blame your company for not configuring that shit, or choosing to let MS handle it all.

Personally, no company should be using Office 365 and external mail. Bring that shit back in house.

~~No~~ Know (wtf autoincorrect?) why bringing it in house costs more? Because it's worth it, for the control.

I speak from experience that no one other than professionals should be handling their own mail servers in 2024. I worked for a mail host. The amount of spam and attacks that befall a mail provider, even a small one, is bonkers. Plus, mail is just too damn important.

I wish it wasn’t the case because the idea of everyone privately hosting their own mail servers would be pretty awesome. Sadly the modern internet makes it way too risky.

Preach it

I'm also not sure where they got their idea that cloud is cheaper from. On prem has always been cheaper, I've had to walk through fire and flames to get my company to approve cloud hosting as we simply do not have the capacity to be our own mail host. Goodluck explaining tech debt to upper management though, it's like they're allergic to the idea of understanding it.

God if that isn't the truth. We changed from Thryv to rackspace and we went from zero spam to 30 a day and this is AFTER they block a bunch. Waste of my time every day having to go through them.

Ya JWZ I think complained about this

Edit wait see this

Do you have a link?

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Oh maybe conflated a post from someone else like “self hosting email just sucks, everything goes to spam, give up” with a JWZ repost of something different

Sorry to misremember, edited

On premise exchange is fucking trash. Get out of here with that shit.

Tomato potato.... My company uses MS because it's the fucking industry default and it sucks

I would put more onus on them if we were talking about some niche thing they refused to give up. But MS is what everyone uses and they wouldn't be able to ditch it altogether because MS has a monopoly
