Hm.
Well I've contact several ISPs about a /29 set of static IPs (routed) as
part of an upgrade. We'll see how that pans out. Sure, I hate SendMail,
but it's an old system that can be configured, with fine-grain
semantics, and we have much history together.
KMail is an interesting alternative, should I decide against static IPs.
I need those statics to showcase
some embedded devices I'm been working; so why not fix these VERIZON
ahole mail issues, once and for all.
Kmail is a desktop GUIfied email client, not a mail delivery mechanism.
I seem to always receive your messages to the list and Kmail threads them
correctly from what I have noticed.
ls /usr/portage/mail-mta yeilds 12 packages.
(suggestions/discussions on running a mail server are all welcome.
I'm tire of waisting all this time, only to discover that other folks
running mail services, are basically a bunch of ahole, anti-linux
bigots. So why not just run my own mail server? Besides, I've got to go
back to work, and mail_administration is always a good thing for a
resume, ymmv.
I'll leave others to comment on the workload which running your own mail
server could produce. Besides using a suitable application to configure a
dynamically updated blacklist and virus checker to keep spammers and malware
out, you'll also need to configure SPF, DKIM & DMARK to make sure your emails
are delivered reliably to the mass market ISPs like hotmail, yahoo.com!, etc.
Otherwise such ISPs may just drop them unseen and without warning.

[gentoo-user] python 2 deprecation
So today I receive this message: !!! The following installed packages are masked: - dev-python/rtgraph-0.70-r1::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: # Michał Górny (2020-01-18) # The following Gentoo packages are Python 2-only and have no reverse # dependencies. # Removal in 30 days. Bug #705762. So, trying not to get too excited, is that the only one? So I ran # equery depends python:2.7 * These packages depend on python:2.7: is there a deeper, more through way to check? I have removed all syntax/expressions from /etc/portage/make.conf related to python; hoping python-2 would just die a natural, slow and painless (for me) death, on this ancient gentoo install. Any and all comments related to what to check/do are most welcome, related to removing python-2* James
