[TriLUG] recommendations for on-line Linux VM

[Lance A. Brown via TriLUG]

My personal email service has been a journey.  I've been with Lumos (nee Northstate) at my current 
home since 2019 and really enjoy their service.  I was running into problems delivering outbound 
mail directly from my server at home, so I set up a relayhost to a linode VPS.  That worked OK for a 
while but someone "near" my linode's IP address damaged the reputation for at least one CIDR range 
including my server's IP.  I fixed that by signing up for free outbound SMTP relay from DuoCircle 
(https://www.duocircle.com/).  Now, my outbound mail from my personal server at home and the mail 
service's I have running on my linodes goes through them.  It took a bit to get SPF, DKIM, and DMARC 
going properly and now I have almost zero problems with outbound deliverability.
