TL;DR: - I started writing this post a week ago but got interrupted by a baby, Jules - Spent MANY hours on writing OpenSMTPD-related articles - Enabled continuous integration in the OpenSMTPD portable repository - Managed to get rid of all the blocking issues for OpenSMTPD 6.

TL;DR: - NO TL;DR: this time, I spent hours writing, you should spend minutes reading. - OK... I explain in WAY TOO MUCH details how to setup a mail server EDIT (2019-10-26) # OpenSMTPD 6.

TL;DR: - Mail is not hard: people keep repeating that because they read it, not because they tried it - Big Mailer Corps are quite happy with that myth, it keeps their userbase growing - Big Mailer Corps control a large percentage of the e-mail address space which is good for none of us - It's ok that people have their e-mails hosted at Big Mailer Corps as long as there's enough people outside too EDIT (2019-12-15) # A practical guide to set up a mail exchanger was published on this blog.

TL;DR: - small inprovements to the fion window manager - plakar is a backup utility I wrote a long time ago that I will share - tons of opensmtpd stuff, mostly filters and issues handling Shout outs to my patrons !

TL;DR: - not much work outside of OpenSMTPD this week - OpenSMTPD portable builds with OpenSSL 1.1.x again - smtp-out reporting is working correctly on my laptop - wrote two filters that I'm actually using as you read this Shout outs to my patrons !

TL;DR: - started working on FION, a static tile window manager - revived BPG, a PGP parser - converted OpenSMTPD to libtls - wrote a library to make writing of native C OpenSMTPD filters easy - started writing a filter-rspamd Thanks to my patrons !

TL;DR: In this post I explain crudely how ca.c works and changes to OpenSMTPD related to ca.c I wrote an ECDSA privsep crypto engine I did some EEG work too This is the first report # I will now switch to a monthly report of my tech activities on this blog, and this is the first post in that new format.

TL;DR: regex table lookups were introduced for builtin filters. After a few weeks of working solely on filters, I wanted to work on something else.

TL;DR: Not this time, pal/gal, I took hours writing this post, you'll take a few minutes reading it all. Oh, and merry X-mas :-* A bit of short-sighted history # The filtering feature has been introduced only recently in OpenSMTPD, first presented on this blog a month ago.

TL;DR: I *FINALFUCKINGLY* commited proc filters support allowing full filtering in OpenSMTPD. eric@ implemented fc-rDNS lookups. fc-rDNS # fc-rDNS, or forward-confirmed reverse DNS, consists in performing a reverse DNS lookup to determine the hostname associated to an IP address… then performing a DNS lookup on that hostname to check if it resolves back to the IP address.
