Thank you! You saved me a bunch of time.
Coincidentally, there's this post today about Yunohost: https://my-place.social/display/db471d1f-c06c03be288f78d7-ad573aef
Elena Rossini, well known for her help in growing the Fediverse, raves about Yunohost, https://news.elenarossini.com/my-year-of-fediverse-explorations/. You should be fine using it.
It is breathtaking how many improvements (major) get completed each month in PieFed. You all are incredible and awesome. Thank you for your work and devotion!
DMARC has only 3 options. Ignore, reject or quarantine. There is no "drop" instead of "reject". And anything other than an "ignore" will cause a reject from the receiving server back to the sending server who will then inform the FROM address that the email was not delivered.
DMARC reports are sent by the receiving server, which is not the server sending the bounces. They are reports sent to the domain owner. SPF, DKIM and DMARC are only meant as tools to protect the domain owner and indicate when an email should not be accepted.
These bounces are coming from the sending server whose email attempt got rejected by the receiving server. They are NDRs which are not covered by SPF, DKIM, or DMARC.
The sending server is informing the FROM: address, as a courtesy, that the email could not be delivered, even when the sending server knows the FROM is likely fraudulent. This has nothing to do with SPF, DMARC or DKIM and is a different protocol.
Argue with Google, not me: https://support.google.com/mail/thread/209018675/my-sent-email-box-is-filling-up-with-bounce-emails-and-emails-i-did-not-send-my-inbox-is-fine?hl=en
My hotmail inbox says that Miocrosoft must then not be a member of the "most" group.
Tell that to hotmail because they keep sending it. And be sure to update Google too because they don't know as much as you either. https://support.google.com/mail/thread/209018675/my-sent-email-box-is-filling-up-with-bounce-emails-and-emails-i-did-not-send-my-inbox-is-fine?hl=en
Apparently, hotmail hasn't read the memo because they've been sending them for me today
If the email is not accepted by the receiving imap or pop3 server, it sometimes follows the DMARC instructions for reporting. The report goes to the domain owner of the sending domain. This is done by the receiving server. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are instructions to the RECEIVING email server, not to the sending email server.
The bounce I'm talking about is from your SMTP server that is following the protocol to let you know, as a courtesy, that your email could not be delivered. And that protocol simply says, in the absence of anything else saying otherwise, tell the FROM: address that their message did not get delivered, even if there is strong evidence that the FROM: address is a fraud.
Yep, adding "Flair" to communities is a fun new feature.
I've added Flair to my support forums here. "Important", "Status","Information", and "Maintenance"
