@ducksauz guessing it is a single questionable link -- it doesn't take much to trigger, but it more speaks of lack of care when preparing and sending.

Been reading the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) newsletter since I worked there a decade ago and this is the first time it got a danger warning in my email.

@mlanger Makes sense. Thanks for sharing. Just curious how people see their domain.

@mlanger Just mean your feelings on that control you speak of. If you feel you have the same over email in your domain as you do mastodon? I don't run my own email servers in my domain, but I run. my own mastodon servers. So I am just curious how others view.

@mlanger Good for you!! I support that. How do you feel about email vs Mastodon in this light?

@mlanger Additionally, maintaining and defending my personal domain in an online web matters to my digital self and my career. I don't expect others to always understand, but it is important to me.

@mlanger My blog is just for me. My newsletter is just targeting the close friends and family I have on Facebook. The search on my personal and profession blog is used daily to build on my own work. Even the food. I expect nobody else to care, but for me it has immense value on my writing and creative outlet.
