Remember when Microsoft said they'd limit how many emails the free Outlook accounts could send daily

GUESS WHAT! Ain't gonna happen. Apparently they got some negative feedback, which means they did a poor job of educating users with legitimate needs on how they could work with the limit.

All it required was correctly configuring your email client. It's not difficult, and MS would tell you how to do it. Your ISP could tell you how to do it. You could find instructions online on how to do it. Instead, you're letting a bazillion spammers slam everyone's inbox because MS won't rate limit how many emails can be spewed forth.

When it comes to Gmail, "...those who need to send more than 5,000 messages per day to Gmail accounts must set up SPF/DKIM and DMARC email authentication for their domains." Basically, users have to make sure their email is configured correctly to identify their domains and have opt-outs within their emails. Their web hosts should be able to do that. Granted, MLM Pat probably doesn't have the skills, but they should be able to hire someone who can. There are LOTS of freelancers out there with the chops.

Sigh.

Doonesbury Say What

"We live in a world, in the real world...that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time."
-- Trump adviser Stephen Miller

"'Iron laws of the world'? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit. If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe."
-- Pete Buttigieg

I think Stevie would have been a lot happier if he'd been born in the 17th or 18th century, preferably in Europe. It would have been a better fit. And with any luck, he would have ticked someone off, been challenged to a duel, and run through.
