You are of course free to do with email what you want if you run your own email server. It's simply that the DMARC RFC states that only one mechanism has to pass, so if you rely on your server's DMARC implementation you won't get what you want.

Edit: reworded a bit, I made it sound as if only one pass is allowed by DMARC.

DMARC record that tells the receiving email server how to handle email that fails either check.

Could be that I misunderstood you, but: It tells what to do if no mechanism (DKIM or SPF) results in a pass. DMARC actually only requires one mechanism to pass. So an email with a DKIM fail, but an SPF pass is considered OK. And vice-versa.

Edit: good advice by the way regarding protecting your domain reputation, I'll check our non-email domains at work first thing tomorrow.

No wonder, it's an industrial solvent after all!

Never uninstalled Unreal & Return to Na Pali. Once in a while it just beckons for a new playthrough. And the unforgettable soundtrack, still listen regularly to the original UMX files with XMPlay. 🤤

I'm fully aware, and I don't even blame developers, especially indies, as I can completely understand their reasoning and commercial consideration. But from a user perspective I just see a store trying to buy market share and either forcing customers to wait a year or cave and use that store. Epic doesn't fork over money to help developers, it does so to grab a piece of the pie and create value for shareholders.

Personally I prefer not buying or using platforms from companies whose policies I don't agree with. I avoid Amazon for that reason, and Epic's store is therefore also on my personal blacklist.

It's a choice I'm allowed and willing to make. Of course you are free to disagree and by all means, do whatever you feel is right.

Ubisoft pulled something like that with Anno 1800. If you pre-ordered it on Steam it was possible to install and play it, as it was only delisted but not removed entirely. Buying the DLC was a bit of a pain as you couldn't search Steam for it, you had to dig up the direct Steam Store link from one of the official posts on the Ubi forum. It wasn't ideal, but at least they had the sense to make everything available immediately on Steam for those that already bought the game there.

And make sure to avoid stores that actively promote the store exclusives concept, even for stuff that isn't an exclusive (anymore). They don't deserve our money. Looking at you Epic.

The song was stuck in my head and I couldn't help myself :)

Thanks, it'll be days before that infernal song is out of my head. There is a remedy fortunately:

I cannot come up with a use-case for ChatGPT in my personal life, so no impact there.

For work it was a game-changer. No longer do I need to come up with haiku's to announce it is release-freeze day, I just let ChatGPT crap one out so we can all have a laugh at its lack of poetic talent.

I've tried it now and then for some programming related questions, but I found its solutions dubious at best.

Oh yes, his performance is reason enough for a rewatch. 🤌🏻

I'd also like to know. Asking for a friend of course.

Haha, guess so. Ah well, no harm done.
