This works until you scale the team beyond 1 person and someone else needs to decipher the 30 line awk | sed | xargs monstrosity you created. Give me a real programming language any day.

Proton Mail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world

This has nothing to do with email as a protocol. The court order discussed in the article asked for the recovery email address of an account. No actual email data was transferred.

Receive only email server in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[-] lemmy_in@lemm.ee 23 points 7 months ago

You should definitely set up a DMARC record to prevent other people from using your email domain to send spam. If you don't have DMARC configured, other email servers will give any senders the benefit of the doubt and accept mail that claims to be from your domain.

You can just set the DMARC record to reject 100% of unverified mail and call it a day. Since you aren't sending anything it won't affect you.

What is the term for an abstract personification? (Examples below) in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] lemmy_in@lemm.ee 41 points 9 months ago

The term is metonym. It is when you use a characteristic or associated attribute of a thing as the name of that thing. A classic example would be "the crown" when talking about the monarch or "The Whitehouse" when talking about the president.

Google is putting ads in gmail. WTF? in c/degoogle@lemmy.ml

[-] lemmy_in@lemm.ee 147 points 9 months ago

These ads only appear in the "promotions" section of Gmail, the section that is by definition for advertising emails. It's not great, but this is the least intrusive place to put ads.
