..though equally, people think you’ve evil even when you’re not

So I’m trying to send an email, because I use Postfix on my computer (it’s a built-in mail server on OSX, and pretty easy to set up if you use Postfix Enabler, which is well worth the money). Using Postfix means it goes directly off my machine. So it seems to come from whatever IP I’m connected to.

Which means though that when I’m at home, I get bounces like this. This particular page, though, is just bonkers. This IP’s overall reputation is “neutral” and the risks from email, web, FTP and VoIP are all given as “low risk”. But there’s no way to get them to pass it on; no way to show that you’re reputable.

Then again, if there were, spammers would work around it. We live on a web of distrust.
