  • Likewise when theres a company meeting which clearly and simply lays something out and people have questions.

    Example: “We are switching payroll providers, This in no way impacts you as all direct deposits have been migrated. You might see a new note on the deposits from the new payroll company.” A bunch of hands go up… Its always the same people

    How could you possibly have a question?!

    Yeah one of these views is more valid than the other:

    “I got an error message! It says, Please right click the application and select ‘Run As Administrator…’ What does it mean?! What do I do!!! Why are these instructions so confusing?!”

    “I got an error on the page! It says ‘Password incorrect’ What does that mean? How do I fix it?” “Have you tried using the correct password?”



  • This isn’t really going to be accurate all the time. It is a totally reasonable configuration to use a mailserver not in the MX records. Lots of companies that send automated emails use a service like mailgun or sendgrid as a relay, which isn’t their MX server. It doesn’t come from their company’s mailserver. The only way to validate that is by adding mailgun/sendgrid as an include in the SPF record.

    PTR records are very difficult to maintain for any accuracy since lots of companies use cloud providers and don’t bring their own IPs.

    You’ll often miss things like “Your credit card expired” or “please change your password” or even “Here’s your monthly bill from the power company” emails.



  • When you send an email to a mail server, you can set the “FROM” address to literally anything. The mail server does not care and forwards stuff on, as long as you’re authenticated. Anyone can run their own mail server anywhere that will dutifully just relay emails, which is what spammers often do. There are entries in DNS called SPF records (Sender Policy Framework) which mailservers use to validate on the receiving side that the FROM address coming from the mail server matches with a list of allowed mail servers IP address(es). If it doesn’t match it gets sent to spam, or outright rejected (depending on if the record says ~all or -all). It is often not ideal to reject any message that fails this check, because if you have some local system that runs its own mailserver and sends alert emails it might not necessarily match.








  • I don’t want to make it sound like any racists/homophobes/anti-semites or any hateful people of any sort have any sort of place in modern society or deserve any respect but I think the argument is that even hateful speech is still free speech, and the argument is that the ADL is trying to suppress speech. If other hate groups want to latch on to that its their perogative but I don’t necessarily see how that might make Elon anti-Semetic.

    Just my two cents. Take it or leave it. Im going to stay out of this convo from here on out because Pro and Anti-elon as well as pro and anti racists are very vocal and opinionated and I know how these conversations usually end up.
