No, I went straight to trying to shame them on Twitter. The part where I said "We’ve tried to talk. @Apple just stops responding once they realize what we’re asking" was just a joke, you got me.
There is no defined process for obtaining it. If you'd like to tear down that statement into little pieces and dissect it, I recommend getting a new hobby because it's not that interesting. MXroute doesn't go around…
Having friends inside of Apple that provide you with something no one else can obtain is a fairly decent definition of favoritism. You cannot send Push notifications to the stock iOS Mail app no matter how hard you try.…
The stock Mail app for iOS does not support JMAP.
The stock iOS Mail app does not support JMAP and therefore it has no relation to Push notifications for the stock iOS Mail app.
This is exactly why we put this as a forbidden use case in the MXroute policy: “Deceptive use against third party services by creating multiple email accounts to pretend to be multiple users of their service” Because if…
It varies. It likely is an exaggeration for you, but for someone else it isn’t. It only needs to target a few domains to act as a DDOS. Rejecting invalid recipients reduces spam scanning overhead. It’s very significant…
Feel free to open a support ticket about that and request that I evaluate any such 30 minute delays. If it’s the Friday server and you’re referring to inbound, mitigation has been applied while I work on the long term…
We (MXroute) maintain low queues (high queues set off alarms, literally). Funny detail, I actually have our combined mail queues as a widget on my phone: https://files.freesocial.co/f.php?h=0fyHTzMz&p=1 (don’t judge me,…
There's some good feedback in there and I appreciate it!
Whatever you decide, I'm here for you at MXroute and would love to have you on board. I understand your concerns and I wouldn't say anything to invalidate them, the burden of choice is yours and I'm merely here if you…
I appreciate your recommendation. I'm no friend to intelligence agencies, but I don't want to necessarily put myself out there as a competitor to something like the old Lavabit. I'm not looking to be a victim of the US…
This has been my position for a while as well. We even saw last year the revelation that the CIA had been in Switzerland: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/national-... It's definitely a false sense of…
The problem is that a very significant number of email clients don't because it's not part of the open standards that they're implemented for.
It's a very tight line to walk, when I intend to offer these lifetime packages and run a company that outlives me. That's why you'll see the price rising on it. I'm trying to find the impulse buy threshold and exceed it…
And that's totally cool. I think a lot of alternate perspectives around this focus on proprietary implementations, and my focus revolves mostly around open source and licensed software. MXroute isn't a software vendor,…
How do you track the name without tracking the password itself? The IMAP standard doesn't provide a function for this. You'd have to log the password used and do it that way. It'd be hard to implement such a thing with…
Appreciate those notes! Will be redoing a lot of the documentation very soon, and will keep this in mind.
Apologies for the bad first impression. This is somewhat intentional. MXroute was originally created for sysadmins who don't need bells and whistles, and just need their email to get to its destination without fussing…
Hey drcongo. Jarland from DigitalOcean here. Truthfully, we would have to talk about individual cases to provide a detailed answer. Being aware of who you are and knowing how the details of these cases compare in…
Toss me an email, I'll see what I can do :)
The answer depends on a variety of factors, but in general, when we're alerted to something that could be a violation of our Terms of Service, we attempt to engage with customers. In some cases, we may take actions…
I'd love to chat with you. If you have some time, send an email over to jdonnell@digitalocean.com and let's talk. I promise nothing but honesty, transparency, ideas, and maybe a few laughs :)
Hey friends! My name is Jarland and I'm on the support team at DigitalOcean. We do have a number of fraud and abuse algorithms, and when we are alerted to potentially fraudulent activity, we take appropriate action,…
I should have added to that: We're not actively trying to collect anything under $1, so to us a $0.15 balance is not something we need you to pay right now.
