A while ago, I got reminded of the [Source:/Archive] 1984 RULES OF NETNEWS DEBATING at We are ALL Rich Rosen… that was posted in Newsgroups: net.flame, net.jokes (which had many ROT13 jokes) back more than 40 years ago by the (in)famous – depending on your point of view – Rich Rosen on his site [Wayback/Archive] neurozen.com – Rich Rosen’s web site (which is in a subfolder, I think because of humour, see [Wayback/Archive] Apache Tomcat/7.0.62 – Error report – this Apache Tomcat version 7 is has been end-of-life since the end of March 2021 :).
I regard is as both fun and insightful, fun for instance as all rules are rated “RULE #1”, and insightful for instance as this is a great quote for on a T-shirt:

For the yearly administration shizzle, the direct link to Dashboard: Invoices – Proton Account (account.proton.me/u/dashboard#invoices) where sometimes you have to visit one of your product first.
The reason is that at the time of writing, this was documented to be in a different place, as per [Wayback/Archive] How to download, customize, or pay invoices | Proton
Log in to your Proton Account at account.proton.me on a computer, click Settings → All settings → Dashboard, and scroll down to Invoices.
You start at [Wayback/Archive] account.proton.me/login and end up at account.proton.me/apps and that is where you cannot choose settings. You can however go to individual products and via that to the above invoices link. That’s cumbersome, it is way easier to just follow that invoices link, but in case you want to go via the products, these are the steps to follow:

Skiff (email service) – Wikipedia already mentioned them as too good to be true for a while:
It launched in 2021 and was developed in San Francisco, California. In November 2023, it reached its own record of almost 2 million users (17 months since launch).
…
In a 2023 article, PCMAG reviewed Skiff pointing that Skiff offers “End-to-end encryption for email, collaboration, and calendar”, making complements to the fact of its services being free and easy to use (while being available as Apps for macOS, Android, and iOS).
This was all in the midst of me trying to find another place for our mail than GMail, and I am considering Proton Mail (which is profitable and offers both paid and free plans).
I had heard about Skiff Mail, and was lucky to not have included them on the shortlist as mid February, the above Wikipedia articled was updated to contain these two sections:

The drawback sending out emails all with the same subject is that the receiver is having a hard time setting them apart.
Especially in the work or medical realm this makes people miss crucial information.
Worse are organisations broadcasting on Twitter, but not responding at all to improvement suggestions. [Wayback/Archive] @ZorgDomein / Twitter gets both wrong (and is also unusually hard to find phone contact information for on their web-site):

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] Email Handling and vBulletin Cloud – vBulletin Community Forum.
- Asking your end users to white list your email address and the Sendgrid IP (
167.89.58.99) can help alleviate the issues.
I didn’t know the above but bumped into an issue because I didn’t know a supplier had moved to vBulletin Cloud, my account password stopped being accepted and my account password reset messages would not arrive.
So I wrote this as part of a mail to sort this out, and it was confirmed to be correct:
Then I re-checked a few connection refusals that appeared close to the password reset tries. Not sure if this a pattern, but a few of them had this:
167.89.58.99 listed in bl.spamcop.net (127.0.0.2)
If there are no reports of ongoing objectionable email from this system it will be delisted automatically in approximately 13 hours.
Causes of listing
- System has sent mail to SpamCop spam traps in the past week (spam traps are secret, no reports or evidence are provided by SpamCop)
Express-delisting is not available
Listing History
In the past 44.4 days, it has been listed 12 times for a total of 13.3 days
Can you check if the forum software uses sendgrid?
The confirmation linked to the first post in this blog entry on how to whitelist the SendGrid outgoing IP-address.
One thing I wonder: why does SendGrid use a single outgoing IP-address? If it gets blacklisted, many of their clients have problems.
Anyway: before adding the entry to my whitelist, the problem had resolved itself, and the blacklist entries were done:

Some notes, as I’m looking to a stable, simple to maintain email forwarding system that is also secure and – yes – can cost money.
I need to leave IT-infrastructure behind that is easy to maintain for my heirs.
Some links:
- [Archive.is] mausdompteur 💉 on Twitter: “Email! Yes, Email. Need to Set Email for a domain, basically forward only. Has anyone ever heard of https://t.co/v29TbMXrrl? Is it good? Any alternatives I should consider?”
- [Wayback] The Best Free Email Forwarding Service for Custom Domains | Forward Email
The best open-source and free email forwarding service for custom domains. We do not keep logs nor store emails. We don’t track you. Unlimited aliases, catch-alls, wildcards, API access, and disposable addresses. Built-in support for DKIM, SRS, SPF, ARC, DMARC, and more. No credit card required.
- [Wayback] FAQ | Forward Email has a truckload of information, but the main points for me are these:
What is the max email size limit
We default to a 50MB size limit, which includes content, headers, and attachments. Note that services such as Gmail and Outlook allow only 25MB size limit, and if you exceed the limit when sending to addresses at those providers you will receive an error message.
An error with the proper response code is returned if the file size limit is exceeded.
…
What is the difference between Free and Enhanced Protection
The Free plan requires you to use public DNS records to store your forwarding configuration. Anyone with a computer can lookup your forwarding configuration in a terminal if you are on the Free plan. Unlike the Free plan, the Enhanced Protection plan uses a cryptographically generated random string to store your forwarding configuration privately.
| Free Plan |
Enhanced Protection Plan |
forward-email=user@gmail.com |
forward-email-site-verification=m8d7o8K4Il |
- [Wayback] About | Forward Email with this very important point for me:
Privacy
We have a “zero tolerance policy” privacy policy, which states that we don’t store logs nor emails, and we don’t track users. Our statement clearly states that we do not collect nor store forwarded emails, metadata, server-side nor client-side logs, IP addresses, or browser information.
Only an email address is required to create and configure the Enhanced Protection Plan, which hides DNS email alias information on the free plan through a managed and hosted service.
User’s accounts, domains, and all related information can be permanently deleted at any time by the user.
- [Wayback] Pricing | Forward Email (levels: free / enhanced protection / team / enterprise)
Free email forwarding for domains with features including Custom Domain Email Forwarding, Disposable Addresses, Multiple Recipients, Wildcards, and more!
- It’s open source too (written in JavaScript using Node.js), but running it requires you to keep up with versions and security: [Wayback/Archive.is] forwardemail/free-email-forwarding: The best free email forwarding for custom domains. Visit our website to get started (SMTP server)
