I 100% did set them up from day one, and for several months every mail I sent from my domain to gmail got rejected, so I stopped trying.
I did a couple of tests today and it seems to be working now, so I guess they are doing more than just looking at the DNS records.
How do I build up reputation? Should I keep trying to send from that domain even if it gets rejected?
I have all the DNS things configured as per Proton’s instructions.
Yes, but normally I don’t send a lot of emails anyway.
If I send to any @gmail.com address, it’s rejected, unless I change the From to my @proton.me
This is how I use Proton. The setup process is really easy with clear instructions on what to configure in your DNS provider.
The only problem I have is that gmail rejects emails from my domain, I have to use proton’s address.
The impersonating metadata Bambu refers to is AFAIK only the User-Agent header in the request, and the forker didn’t “inject” or “falsify” anything, they just used that part of the open source code as it was provided by Bambu.
Was that the same as the “Family Game“ ? Lots of people have that one back in the day, and multi-game pirate cartridges were very common too.
