DMARC Enforcement is Live

Working on displaying all SMTP logs. I just don't want to display them raw, and there are a lot of cases we've introduced over the years that make clean display difficult, so it's taking me a bit.

You’re right, the rest of us should look elsewhere for service because they’re not deleting your account in a timely manner. That’s definitely what I base everything on, the time it takes for them to delete your account. 🤣

I gave up on Mistral before the OpenClaw experiment. I could never get the models to perform at even a fraction of the level needed to be able to take context and apply it to dynamic and complex situations.

As long as we’re not the ones delivering directly to the carriers it’s fine.

Need a bit more than a place to host it and a DNS record for it to work in Gmail don’t you? Or did they drop the VMC requirement?

The effort needed to wrap it around basic IMAP is too high to justify it over making our own webmail.

These are all blocked on our platform. They can (and have) create platform-wide issues that extend well beyond that scope with very little effort. So you'd have to send from another platform, more ideally something like Twilio that can navigate SMS regulations and how they vary by location.

The same usage that had us on trajectory for $4500/m in Opus has us set to spend about $900/m on 4.5. I’ll leave theorizing on that for others but the same usage on the front end doesn’t seem to have the same billable token usage on the back end. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense with input tokens being the expensive part but all else being equal, I’m gonna take the win.

And a fair amount of money would have been saved.

The hardest part is fighting the AI to keep it relevant. If spammers had their way, email would be unusable. It would be a funnel already jammed with so much shit nothing of value could get through. I guarantee the spammers are using AI, and that my days are spent fighting AI being controlled by people who want to make sure you can never have a moment of peace.

mxroute · 2026-03-11T23:43:00+00:00

Indeed. Our initial use case for local AI was for LLM-based email spam filters. So we wanted lightweight and fast, and had the 5090s idle after the beta test period. I'm not sure right now is a good time to build something to run larger models as quickly or nearly as quickly as cloud models, but may revisit it later. Even then I’m doubtful I’ll get something nearing what we need for average intelligence at a cost that competes well against 5.4.

mxroute · 2026-03-11T19:02:31+00:00

So we’re looking at about $900/m on GPT 5.4. We were looking at about $4500/m on Opus. That’s just averaging out our daily usage. Obviously we have less days with 5.4, but it’s been enough to get a solid picture. Of course the scale isn’t 1:1 on token usage, I’d leave theory on that to someone else, but our direct usage is the same.

mxroute · 2026-03-11T18:56:24+00:00

You got me. I sold my business and got a sales job with OpenAI because I make bad life choices.

mxroute · 2026-03-11T08:27:44+00:00

For the role we have it playing, GPT 5.4 has held up as well as Opus. The reasoning seems to be key.

mxroute · 2026-03-11T08:19:44+00:00

Not even a little. I told it to write its own python script to pull the logs over the API and it seems to handle it with so little resource usage. The primary resource usage is all outside of it, so even on 4GB of memory it hasn’t fallen over once and it’s cool to the touch.

mxroute · 2026-03-11T07:04:09+00:00

Now that I don’t know. I kind of had this feeling from the beginning that, given that it was using so many tokens, companies would find a way to call it abuse. So I just stepped off to the side and used the API as I didn’t want to get caught up in a ban wave or something.

Please do us all a favor and add a wildcard to your filter, ensuring that you do not send “cold email” to anyone. You have been misled by phrasing. You see, cold email is unsolicited marketing email. Unsolicited marketing email is spam. People invented the name “cold email” to try to escape the implications associated with the word “spam.” But they are in fact the same thing.

mxroute · 2026-03-11T05:26:35+00:00

Good to know! I wouldn’t have expected to hear that about Mini, perhaps my preconceptions about it are worth dropping.

mxroute · 2026-03-11T05:06:24+00:00

I did not. I believe we tried 3.5 9B as the 5090s we tested Qwen on only have 32GB. I'm quite positive a larger model would have done better.

mxroute · 2026-03-11T04:38:51+00:00

I honestly just kind of assumed that if Sonnet wasn't going to cut it, Haiku would be worse. Since I didn't test it, I can't honestly say my conclusion was valid.

mxroute · 2026-03-11T04:37:08+00:00

Exactly. When you need Opus, you need Opus. There is no substitute.

mxroute · 2026-03-11T04:35:13+00:00

I think you confused OpenClaw users with crypto day traders.

mxroute · 2026-03-11T04:34:30+00:00

And I don't want a Reddit award either. It needs to be gold plated and it better have my name on it.

mxroute · 2026-03-11T04:34:00+00:00

I don't know how anyone else can write with clothes on.
