Email delivery monitoring and automation. Open Source. Empowering free and independent communication.

“There are few growth levers that could allow a single person to grow a startup from $0 to $1M ARR in months. There are fewer that could be done with nothing but an internet connection and a laptop—and virtually no budget. Cold outbound is one such lever.” https://t.co/3lag6TDAyk

@MgcLabs Glad you liked it! We found it difficult to get feedback and revenue from enough users to sustain development on it as a stand-alone product. We switched to using it to provide a premium email delivery service for sales teams in other software companies (https://t.co/KDYzHvEceX).

Gmail hack bypasses passwords and 2FA, targets Chrome and Edge, used on specific accounts, requires OS level compromise, most likely sponsored by North Korea https://t.co/uLK7MQqxS9 #Gmail #infosec #Security

And multi-host support has just been merged into Lightmeter Control Center after more than two years in the backlog 😊 Soon you can monitor many mailservers from a single Lightmeter instance #Postfix #SMTP

We had a great talk with Dutch hosting company https://t.co/kgAbGWVTKL and are happy to see Lightmeter supporting them in enabling high-deliverability hosted email for non-profit and other organisations in the Netherlands 🐱❤️

Interview by the EC's NGI about the challenges facing email, and how Lightmeter is helping: "When hosting email is as easy as hosting WordPress, then everyone can keep their private communications in a trustworthy place" #decentralized #dataSovereignty

[NGI4eu @NGI4eu]

Lightmeter monitors email servers to help fix message delivery problems, by reading server logs and automatically notifying technicians. 💡
With support from @NgiZero @NgiPointer and #TETRA trainings and mentoring.

We scanned the world's mailservers and found 92% of them running #OpenSource software - see what else was discovered in preliminary results just published https://t.co/DnIbqFXTqh #SMTP #nmap #postfix

Greylisting introduces mysterious delays and colossal inefficiencies - our deliverability expert explains these and other issues in today's new knowledgebase article #greylisting #SMTP #deliverability https://t.co/j2NUoUEgne

[Lightmeter @LightmeterIO]

Did you know that email greylisting can be applied at five different stages of delivery & processing? Today's new knowledgebase article explains which produces the fewest false positives #Greylisting #SMTP #AntiSpam https://t.co/VB2I0OaSoO

[Lightmeter @LightmeterIO]

Behind every email is a trail of Delivery Status Notification (DSN) codes, recording success or failure. But the terms are tormenting: is DSN just a code, a message, an "Enhanced code" (ESC), or all of the above? Our new dictionary reveals all https://t.co/9yKawPEQUO #smtp

Making #OpenSource apps easy to update is really important. Case in point: #GitLab 😬 Only 21% of 60k public #GitLab installs have applied a critical 6 month security update https://t.co/RoNkwYEz58 @Cloud68HQ

[Curried Apotheosis @warpfork]

probably gonna start an interesting flamewar here

"email has always provided most of the desirable properties that blockchains claim to provide"

[Lightmeter @LightmeterIO]

Turns out 3m indie servers and 1m admins are good at keeping messages flowing. Ask your nearest email admin (don't ask Facebook) #resilience #facebookdown

[Lightmeter @LightmeterIO]

When's the last time your mailboxes were down 5 hours? Time to show some love for ~1 million email admins who keep our inboxes flowing 24/7/365 😇 #facebookdown #smtp #linux

[Lightmeter @LightmeterIO]

If WhatsApp infrastructure were owned by users, not Facebook, then #FacebookDown could only affect one household at a time. Communicating with family and work is too important to be the job of one company. Decentralize now! #EmailFTW

[Lightmeter @LightmeterIO]

@oliverbeige That's true! The worlds largest comms network and identity database (both in one) seems like a great place to start 🚀

[Lightmeter @LightmeterIO]

Nobody:
"How come email never had a global outage?" 🤔 #FacebookDown

[Lightmeter @LightmeterIO]

@WajahatAli No company should have this much power - global communications are too important for a single point of failure. Fortunately email has been decentralized and independently run for over 40 years. Check it out (for whatsapp over email try @delta_chat 😎)
