That’s not what I’m seeing at all. What I’m seeing is complaints that it’s difficult to host your own email without any real commitment of resources (whether those resources be time or money). A lot of the complaints I’m seeing are from folks who don’t want to really pay for hosting at a reputable provider that takes action against abuse. I know I’ve told this story before. Back in 2014 we needed to move our mailserver around onto a different IP SWIPed to us from HE. That did cause some delivery issues briefly, so we switched IPs back. By 2018, when we were shutting down the HE cabinet in preparation for our move out of CA, we moved to a VPS. We had zero problems with delivery at that time. Every once in a while a mail will end up in a spam folder but we don’t have problems with blocking at all. In fact, most of the time mail ends up in spam I’m replying to an inquiry from a potential client and it’s *their* domain rep that is the problem. > The frequency at which I see such comments is growing and the comments seem > to be more dire as time goes on.
