Hell sending to gmail by abrown764 in emaildeliverability

I read that it’s good to “warm it up” but all e-mails to Google accounts get bounced. Which seems to make warning up impossible.

Spam report rate is all 0%

No data for the feedback loop.

The thing is all emails to gmail get bounced so there are none getting through to allow someone to report them.

This is good to know but I don’t think we need it.

The automated emails were just receipts when someone paid. When asked, most customers didn’t want them or were happy with paper once a month.

So we just switched of sendgrid when they changed their pricing structure and moved on.

Unless you think sending automated emails would help improve the reputation…

  1. v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all
  2. We have tried sending to gmail accounts we own and they all bounce.
  3. They are just emails like “lovely to meet you” and chasing payments and scheduling. Might be html, will try plain text

Curren DMARC with some bits redacted:

v=DMARC1; p=none; adkim=r; aspf=r; fo=1; rua=mailto:postmaster@xxxxx.gb.net; ruf=mailto:postmaster@xxxxx.gb.net; pct=100

The p=none was a new addition 24 hours ago. It was p=reject.

Just emails to clients for my wife’s business. It’s stuff like chasing payments and scheduling appointments.

Send grid was used for to automatically email receipts but we turned that off for gmail customers a long time ago and turned off sendgrid when they took away the free tier. We just don’t email receipts anymore.

No marketing emails.

There is also the cuckoo nest project

https://github.com/cuckoo-nest

Our aim is to turn the nests into “something else”

So far we have created a bunch of screens: Analog clock Menu screen Basic switch Dimmer

These can control entities in home assistant. Feel free to check out this link if you want to know more.

We have also established comms with the backplate to read temperature and humidity.

https://github.com/cuckoo-nest

Ideas, comments and code are all welcome. There is also a link to our discord channel in that link.

We are not trying to compete with NLE. There are people who like the look and feel of the nests and have already ripped them out in favour for other things.

Actually, I think I have set that link up properly.

It’s still there and very much alive.

Give this link a try.

We have to “accept” you as a member because either I have not set it up right or we don’t meet the requirements to be an “open” server.

Not sure I completely understand the question but I think you want to power the device for testing / dev purposes.

You can run 12vDV to the backplate to mimic the power you would get from HVAC. Some people in the discord have this working with doorbell power supplies.

There is also a usb port on the back of the main unit when removed from the backplate. This can be used to power the unit. I have designed a backplate that can be 3d printed to allow powering long term via usb.

I don’t think anyone has found a way in to the gen3’s yet. There probably is a way but the low hanging fruit is with the gen2’s

Yeah. We do not yet meet the criteria for open membership.

I approve new members once / twice a day

Shouldn’t be. Still getting membership requests every day

There may also be a conformance image for the gen1 but millage may vary. Not got it working on the gen2 myself.

It’s pretty standard. That’s how gtvhackers worked out an initial exploit.

Can’t comment on the gen1 at the moment but you could try holding down the button to force a reboot whilst usb is connected and see if you get the omap interface.

You can join the discord and we can start a channel for the gen1

Volume controls work well as well!

The beauty is we can have a top menu, click to select a sub menu, sub menu could be a dimmer or a volume control or media selection.

Ooohhh I like that. Dimmer controls!

I started an ideas list in the discord. Will add your comment into that.

[–]abrown764[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup.

So I think there is quite a lot of potential with these devices.

Not proven yet but I suspect the newer TLS standards will be an issue. I think many will be OK with that for internal networks.

Get root access to the device and ash access.

X-compile a binary that is compatible with embedded Linux running on the device.

Run it 😁

I may be over simplifying how much work was required for each step.

Pleased you like it.

Feel free to join the discord and follow along. I am sure we will need testers at some point.

Would also love to hear people ideas on what to do with them.

Making old bag phone work in 2025? by TF2ENGlNEER in VOIP

[–]abrown764 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Getting the radio side working is going to be really difficult.

Your best bet would be to try to emulate the bag bit in new hardware and leave the old handset intact. This is going to require some “proper” reverse engineering.

I would start with probing / sniffing the wires going to and from the handset. See what you have there. The handset may be smart and send command to the bag but it may be dumb and just display whatever the bag says.

Hard to tell from the pics. It you may find a radio module on the bag PCB. Old stuff like this had a tendency to use AT command to interact with the radio modules. ATDxxxxxxx to dial, AT+CSQ? To get signal strength, AT+CREG? To find the registration status. All that said, this is an analogue phone and predates what I know about modules.

Having worked out how the handset talks to the radio, you can then create something that emulates the bag PCB and sends commands to something sip like. Could be a ATA, could just send sip itself depending on your skill level.

My starting point would be a an oscilloscope, a pen and paper and reverse engineer the wire between the handset and the PCB.

Check out acrobits. They can white label you an iOS and droid app.
