"It's impossible to run your own email!" Not quite. But you must do it carefully and correctly. This talk discusses the current state of email, with a focus on the small independent server operator. What do you need to run your own mail? How can you use protocols like DKIM and DMARC without wrecking your ability to communicate with the outside world?

Based on Lucas' book "Run Your Own Mail Server." The first chapter is online

Offsite Participation: We plan to stream MWL Zoom call via NYC*BUG Website. Q&A will be via IRC on Libera.chat channel #nycbug - Please preface your questions with '[Q]'

Michael W. Lucas' name may ring a bell for some in the BSD community. He's writt en several shelves of books. But for anyone who has seen him speak in public during Ante COVID days, it was clear they are mere transcriptions of his rambling presentations. For this NYC*BUG meeting, he is unlikely to edit out any of his expected corny jokes we endure during his conference presentations.

More likely, you know his name from his grotesque horror fiction. In the same way his technical books are just transcriptions of his presentations, his fictional horror is just a simple reflection of someone who lives in a haunted house filled with (pet) rats in Detroit.
