Given the discussion of eMails and mail servers, I would like to offer
up a post with a topic discussion which may be of interest to the
Community here. I do hope it serves the Community well to know about
what is discussed there and the explanations offered there as to why.

From what I can gleaned from a first review, my own thought is that we
should consider establishing in Canada a fully independant service
provider equivalent to the following, to offer, and ensure business
continuity of, equivalent service offerings.
Further, if done as a *multi-nation shared project*, by "like-minded
nation states", each having its own country-independant service node,
the cost-sharing of development would ensure the resulting services
would be competitive enough to fend off any "marketing" or "political
arm-twisting" from undesirables.

A few Canadian IETF people will be chatting next Friday about ways to
support
Canadians (individuals and companies) with moving away from the
US/multinational megacorps. To me, particularly for email.
I don't know what form this effort will take.
I'm aware there is a Montreal company selling/supporting
Nextcloud... hardware, I think. But I'm not sure. CRM knows them.
It's ironic funny that after 15 years of what I would consider
"jeering"
about why do I waste my time running my own mail server... those
people are
kinda screwed over.
A few year ago I moved off gmail to paying for an email host. I settled
on Gandi since I was hosting my domain with them at the time. Now I'm
looking at trying to self host it. I would be interested in paying a
Canadian company to do the hosting.
I don't know how many of your are still running mailman2.
mailman3 is finally more stable. stock mailman2 has a number of
problems
that can ruin email reputations... I haven't had as many gmail
delivery
issues since things got sorted out. Not that I'm not upset about the
trend.
At my work we switched over to using mailman3 and from the users
perspective I found it a lot easier to use. I also like the hyperkitty
frontend for it to read the archive from the web. I found the search
actually works!
I recall IT saying that it works better for any of our customer facing
mailing lists. But I'm not as knowledgeable on that front.

Lucas
