Is #Gmail killing independent email?

"Is it okay that Gmail has the power to decide whether a business is sending spam or not?"

Gmail has rigged the email game imo. It makes running a self-hosted email server hard, even after properly configuring DKIM, DMARC, and SPF.

    @cjk @slomo Well that’s a plus.

    And then a minus. Especially Microsoft - though in my experience I don’t have as much trouble with Microsoft as I do with gmail addresses.

    There are independent email providers that you can use besides Google or Microsoft.

    Unlike those big companies, email is their main business so they will do a better job of it.

    The big companies have no incentive to fine tune spam filters so avoid blocking small servers.

    But, it's not 1993. Hosting servers requires a lot more work to protect against the abuse. You can't just quickly set up a server and walk away from it anymore.
