I suppose I fall into the artisanal category (postfix,dovecot,spamassassin,roundcube etc). In our case everyone runs mobile/desktop IMAP clients, web mail at least seems to be a "when all else fails" backup plan for quick emails.

I do have a specific beef with all the consolidated email providers. If one of them determines your SMTP server to be spam (false-positive), ALL of their clients now reject your email with little recourse for the admin. Just had this happen with a solution that rhymes with 365. Even their clients were clueless as to how to resolve it.




The best part is that everyone will blame the sender.

The ignorant always blame the informed - and it keeps working cause the informed can actually address the issue.
