URGENT: Tell Congress: Support Ceasefire (email now) - JVP (Jewish Voice For Peace
Right now, Representatives Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, Andre Carson, Summer Lee, and Delia Ramirez are leading an anti-war push in Congress to call on President Biden to immediately demand and facilitate a ceasefire. These lawmakers have shown what it means to truly value all human life.

Now we have one job: Call and email your members of Congress and ask them to join these anti-war voices in calling for a ceasefire.
The Israeli government has shut off all electricity to Gaza. Hospitals cannot save lives, the internet will collapse, people will have no phones to communicate with the outside world. Gaza will be plunged into darkness as Israel turns its neighborhoods to rubble.

On Friday, the Israeli military called for all civilians of Gaza City — 1.1. million people — to relocate south within 24 hours, as it amassed tanks for an expected ground invasion. The U.N. said evacuating everyone was impossible and would have “devastating humanitarian consequences.”
But still, we don't have enough members of Congress saying the bombs should stop. It’s on us to change that. It is the most urgent and pressing demand we have right now: The US absolutely must work toward an immediate ceasefire to prevent the further catastrophic loss of life.
Call now, and then call again until they have taken action. Tell your member of Congress to join the Ceasefire NOW resolution.
There is no military solution to this violence. The only way toward a world in which all Palestinians and Israelis are living full and free lives, is by addressing the root causes — 75 years of Israeli military occupation and apartheid — and an end to U.S. complicity in this systemic oppression

URGENT: Tell Congress: Support Ceasefire (email now) - JVP
We must act now to demand a ceasefire, because the Israeli government is plowing forward toward a fully genocidal attack on Palestinians in Gaza.

Put on a Mask and Fight Spam with SpamCop instead of just Deleting It

SpamCop reporting page where it has spaces to fill in your name, paste the header in of the spam e-mail, and a button labelled Process Spam.
What is the first thing you do after receiving spam email? If you are like most people, it probably goes like this:

  • Getting annoyed.
  • Moving the message to your spam folder hoping that your provider/client will filter similar messages in the future.

The above approach, however, does not solve, but merely hides the problem — the spammers will keep spamming, and you will keep receiving them, even if you are not always aware of them since they end up in your spam folder.

SpamCop is a free service offered by Cisco which enables its users to report unsolicited email. For each email reported as spam, SpamCop determines the origin of the email and sends automated reports to the respective network owners.

Furthermore — and that’s the best part — given that a spammer is reported by an adequate number of users, the spammer’s IP is inserted into a blacklist, known as SpamCop Blocking List (SCBL), which helps email service providers throughout the world to identify and block spam sources before reaching your inbox.

Use the SpamCop DNS-based Blocking List with your own mailserver and get safe and effective spam filtering for free.

Oddly enough, I see I still have a very old (and still active) account at this service. I must have been mad enough one day to have started reporting spammers. Now, if only this was so easy for robocallers!

Australia’s internet providers are ditching email, to the disgust of older customers: But maybe it’s a good thing actually

Shows part of a screenshot with words Inbox(110), Sent Mail, Spam (95), and Circles
I’d long ago ditched using my own ISP’s e-mail service for exactly the reasons given in the linked article. I know it was a freebie, but it ties you into that provider, and it is a major pain to change 500+ logins elsewhere (another good reason why we should be allowed to use login IDs instead of e-mail addresses). The days of having only 5 or 10 services to log in to, are long gone.

Yes one “could” move to Gmail (or similar) but the thing is Google does mine that data (I know it won’t worry many people) and Google has also shown it is not always interested in keeping a service going forever. A free Gmail account forces you to use their domain name, as a custom domain name will require the paid Gmail service. So, for a free account you are now tied to Gmail, have your mails mined, and would have to go through lots of pain to move again in the future. If you don’t like Google, GMX is another good option for free e-mail without a custom domain name.

E-mail redirectors also pose a similar problem because I used Bigfoot for many years for this, but then they also shut down.

You could also host your own e-mail server, but that takes technical knowledge and some cost of either hardware or hosting costs anyway, and you run the risk of being an untrusted mail domain. Most average users are not going to opt to go this route.

What does not shut down though is one’s own domain name. My domain name costs me about US$7.70 per year. I can use that for a website if I wish, but also for e-mail. That e-mail address will never change as long as I keep paying the annual fee for the domain name. The domain name can point to any other e-mail service, no matter how often you change your actual e-mail provider service. The ONLY proviso for this is that you must choose an e-mail provider that allows the use of a “custom domain name”. What does frequently come with this, unfortunately, is that it is typically only paid e-mail services that allow you to use your own custom domain names. Still, e-mail as a service is not very expensive, and if you are a business, this is really important for branding and consistency anyway. I was already paying for Proton VPN, and to upgrade to use their free e-mail with a custom domain name and 500 GB of space, cost me around US$3 per month extra (and that now also gives me fully encrypted and digitally signed e-mails).

But something worth otherwise considering is checking with your domain name provider too. Mine actually offers an e-mail service for about US$1.90 per month. You can always move to a different e-mail service later on, as you still have your own domain name, and there is no need to update your e-mail address anywhere else again.

Although paid e-mail does cost a little money per month, one perk you do often get is multiple e-mail addresses, so you could also consider sharing with trusted family members where you could have their first name as the address, and use your family name as the domain name.

In summary, if your mail service is completely free you are probably the product of that service (either through data mining, lock-in without a custom domain name choice, forced to use webmail login, restricted storage space, tied to another service you have to pay for, etc). Similarly, if you go with a custom domain name e-mail service, you will probably have to pay a bit and go through an initial setup, but usually your e-mail is being left alone by the provider, and you can switch at any time with nearly zero interruption or notification changes to anyone. It’s worth thinking about.

Open Source Thunderbird 115 Supernova E-Mail Released: Even If You Use Gmail, Thunderbird Will Back it Up For You

Thunderbird application screen
The Thunderbird client has got a big makeover. It is not just an e-mail client though as it also has calendaring, contacts and tasks built-in, and many additional add-on’s that provide extra customisation and functionality.

The app will connect via IMAP to most e-mail services to download and sync your e-mail offline. If you have e-mail at various services, Thunderbird will consolidate that for you in one app.

But even if you’re still a Gmail user, Thunderbird is a great way to sync your e-mail offline so that you have your own permanent copy of all your mails. Who knows when Google will tire of providing Gmail.

And if you feel like a version of Thunderbird on steroids, Betterbird is an enhanced version of Thunderbird with new features and bug fixes not available in Mozilla Thunderbird. Betterbird looks and feels like Thunderbird, but it’s easy to spot the new features available. Many of these features have been requested for over a decade, and some have been attempted and failed. Betterbird already updated to the Thunderbird 115 build on 8 July 2023.

Red postbox
This is a simple containerised mail server (SMTP, IMAP, LDAP, Antispam, Antivirus, etc.). Only configuration files, no SQL database. Easy to deploy and upgrade. I see it is often recommended to others, as I noticed in a Lemmy forum today.

It is receiving regular updates and has quite extensive documentation. It has over 11,000 likes on Github.
