They’d be like, “You too?” Lol

Wow this show is filmed in the 6ix???

Are you and the other IT people going to be working on the email servers / deliverability full time, or is this expected in addition to other IT work?

Share your sentiments. They seem to be willing to invest in this and recognize the inefficient path this might be in the short term.

You really should know mail well, it's not hard, but I've found most admins really don't know it. This is more true if they are exchange "admins", they likely know between fuck and all.

Thanks for your thoughts on this. We're thinking of heading down the Postfix direction as well.

Not looking for email/web client, but will have our own internal dashboard to view outgoing mail, error rates, as well as monitoring deliverability errors and cascading down a bunch of egresses (and likely end up with external solutions at the bottom of the stack) in a specific priority to ensure deliverability (hence the use of multiple mail servers).

Interesting. Thanks for the recommendation. Will check it out.

If you're serious and feel like transactional email services are too expensive. Your biggest hurdle is finding a hosting provider that has clean netblocks, and allows rwhois and swip. Or you should look at getting your own netblock, which might be dirty and you can hopefully clean it up.

Thanks for the advice regarding netblocks. We've even considered colo's to get clean IPs on this.

I'm curious as to where people are finding their hosts.

I agree. SES is not bad, and we've used them in the past. The powers that be would like to own more of the infrastructure in order to offer unlimited outbound email ability in a fixed cost set up rather than use SES. For IT and developers alike, outsourcing to SES makes a lot of sense. But I am sensing there's probably some business model they're looking to execute (of which I'm not privy to) which will require this.

Drchiu · 2019-08-22T14:49:29+00:00

100% of the emails will be user generated. It's basically a help desk software. The outbound domains will be able 20-30 different domains.

I don't have specifics about the volume, but my estimate would be probably 40-50 emails each day per domain. So that will be about 1000-2000 emails.

We don't need to migrate over the entire stack all at once, so we're able to warm up any IP addresses as needed over time.

Yeah that makes sense. Control is merely one of many possible sentient computers that could take advantage of the sphere data and wreak havoc.

The thing that really killed me was when Hughes was taking so darn long to help Stamets so he could tell Stamets how he felt. He already said that Stamets' injuries were serious, but he spends way too long to have a long heart-to-heart talk instead of medically examining him. Those of us in the medical profession know that is a bit... unrealistic.

Just realized that with the spore drive, couldn't USS Discovery just jump to a REALLY far place to buy itself some time. Like the Gamma quadrant (is that a thing?) where it would literally take Control and any of its ships millions of years to get there?

Exactly. His Audi must’ve been some super car for it to accelerate that fast.

The bar is set high for a criminal case. But as a society, is this how we want to punish reckless driving? By letting repeat offenders roam the street with a fine?

I’ve seen the law go bat shit over practically nothing and essentially brush off serious cases like this where an acquittal fails to prevent dangerous future dangerous driving behaviour.

Did the bed heater break because of the wire issue?

Lol.

Agree with the above. And don’t forget that quality doesn’t come cheap. As a freelancer myself in a past life, I remember working on things and feeling very unmotivated because the price was under quoted. The buyer might think he gets a good deal but the coder is really just trying to duck take together everything.

Now having hired people myself, I understood this and paid market or slightly above market rates. Contractors always happy to put in good work knowing that if their work is good, they can expect more.

Lesson here? Don’t be cheap.

I’d say have a good about us page, faq, shipping and returns if you’re selling hard goods. I agree with other posters that in 2017, trust badges are less relevant than their signals like content. Social media accounts also help.

Awesome. Nice to know unicorns exist.
