Right then, wrote this up after my third cuppa. Proper email delivery in 2024, mostly so I stop answering tickets about it. SPF, DKIM, DMARC, the holy trinity. Warm IPs, don't blast 10k day one. Test with mail-tester.com first. Cheers lads 🦡

Spf record too long; split to 2 txt; still bounce; ticket open 4 days; no response
Bro this guide good but server down since 2 days and email Important. I use Mailgun now bro. Since 2 years no problem. Warm up IP for what? Just pay bro
Virtualization tax applies to mail too. OpenVZ containers sharing kernel = shared reputation. If neighbor sends spam, your IP burned. KVM with dedicated IPv4 worth the extra $2/month for deliverability. cgroup limits don't fix neighbor noise on oversold nodes.
