Moreover, we are HAM radio operators managing a dedicated IP network.
Why should we use external/commercial solutions for our internal
communications ? My opinion is that, when possible, we should, use "internal"
services, based on free software, and self-hosted on 44net servers.
The issue here is that if we continue to use a locally hosted solution, but route to our
"normal" e-mail address we will probably find ourselves black listed, fighting
spam filters and trying to manage SPF DKIM and DMARC frameworks.
Any one who follows the groups.io managers lists will be aware of the many problems they
face, but they have a central team that helps sort out the problems.
The real issue is that many mail providers want to advertise low spam levels, but most
users never as the million dollar question, "how much legitimate e-mail do you drop
without it going to my spam box".
As such e-mail is simply discarded the users know nothing about it.
Of course we could also set up our own mail system as well that would work on the 44 net
but are we really about duplicating existing infrastructure?
And if we need something more "modern", such
as a instant messaging /
groupware / social network, we should also look at free software. Some
solutions allow the deployment of decentralized and self-hosted servers, which
is a perfect solution for 44net networks. Some people are already operating
Mastodon or Matrix servers on 44net. Why not adopting a common scheme,
deploying and inter-connecting servers in several regions, and start using them ?
:-)
That requires some one to stop doing HAM stuff and duplicate effort.
