#AskFedi #Email

Is it possible to configure #Gmail (web client) to send an email “from” an alias on a domain that I own, like alias@example.com, but using Gmail’s own #SMTP server, because I don’t have my own SMTP service for example.com?

Yes, I know that’s ripe for spam abuse. But Gmail docs are not clear on this. And I can verify that I control the alias and the domain.

This is for occasional one-off low-volume sends (eg not ongoing email marketing or newsletter).

Thanks!

When Mozilla Thunderbird starts hammering on the CPU cores of your computer you configure it in this way.

... configuration editor. Type idle into the search box, and look for mail.db.idle_limit. According to that bug report, the correct value is 30000000. Check the number of zeros you have; if you only have 300000, that could be causing your CPU problems.

#ActivityPub and #SMTP (Simple Message Transfer Protocol, also knows as e-mail) have more in common than you might think. Both are about accepting or refusing messages on the instance/server level. Both use comparable rulesets. One has 30+ years more of experience. Worth listening to them, IMHO (In My Humble Opinion). I am one of the lucky ones that know both :)

Sempre più arduo…
Illo tempore - ma nemmeno troppi eoni fa - ti installavi postfix o dovecot facevi, due o tre aggiustamenti1 e ti facevi il tuo server di posta (SMTP). Oggi gestirsi il proprio server SMTP è diventato assai arduo!

Ora al grido "per colpa di qualcun o non si fa più credito a nessuno", con l'abuso da parte di chi ti riempie la casella di spazzatura siamo arrivati all'estremo oppo

Inbound SMTP DANE (DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities) is a security protocol designed to secure email communication by ensuring the authenticity of the receiving mail server's encryption certificates when emails are delivered via the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).

By default, SMTP doesn't guarantee encryption, which makes it vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. To secure email communication, SMTP can use STARTTLS, which upgrades a plain text connection to an encrypted one. However, STARTTLS by itself doesn't verify the authenticity of the receiving mail server's certificate, leaving it vulnerable to attacks where a malicious entity might impersonate the server.

DANE addresses this issue by enabling domain owners to publish their mail server’s encryption certificates in DNS records, which are protected by DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions). This allows sending mail servers to verify the authenticity of the receiving mail server's certificate before establishing an encrypted connection.

When an email is received, the receiving mail server uses DANE to publish its certificate in the DNS, allowing the sending server to check the certificate's validity before establishing a secure TLS connection. This ensures that emails are delivered over an encrypted connection and that the encryption certificate is trustworthy and has not been tampered with.
