John wick surprised me in being an actual good movie. No brains whatsoever but nice action.

Yeah I know, I was not answering the question properly here. In my head I was thinking "best thing about computer communication" I guess. I didn't run a bbs on the internet, but I did before it. :)
Best thing about the internet was being able to find what I was looking for, before corporations wanted to monetize everything.
BBSes :) Because it was fantastic that we could dial eachothers computers and just share files and chat. Before that every computer were an island.
I feel the same with the fediverse now. The tech can create communities where people can talk without big tech being involved.
I edited my original post with what actually worked for me in the end.
Email actually started working now, I think maybe I was blocked for a while due to my attempts to get things working. Will edit my top post to make sure others can find the result of this thread.
Thanks!
No the fastmail account doesnt know anything about the lemmy.today address, so this could be an issue. And I dont have any DKIM or SFP records in my DNS. I could add that though, maybe thats a good next step?
But i tried to put the email I log in with as the "noreply" address, and I still dont any emails.
At least the signup page doesnt freeze up anymore, since it seemingly can talk to the email server, but no emails arrive. I also cant find anything in the logs about errors... i do "docker compose logs -n 100" to get the last 100 rows from each container but no errors there.
Federation works fine, the only thing that doesnt is the email sending for some reason. :/
yeah they block 465 but not 587, so i can connect to it with starttls. But dont get any emails, so something else is wrong....
This gets a connection:
openssl s_client -connect smtp.fastmail.com:587 -starttls smtp
So its open on port 587 to the email server, but I dont get any emails arriving there...
Actually it seems that port 587 is open (starttls) while port 465 (tls) is closed. I can connect to port 587 on my email server from my Hetzner instance (im also using them).
But how should the config look like to forward emails? How does your config look like?
I'm a little bit confused by the federation thing. How would I let my instance talk to any other instance except the ones I blacklist?
Latest news is that they stopped going for Moscow and leader of group is going to Belarus... Too bad.
