hi everyone,
I was just about to self-host a Ghost blog but then was warned that my ISP might change my external IP address at any time, so I would need to pay for a static IP address.
Is that true?
(I’d not seen much about that in stuff I’ve looked up so far about self hosting)
Did you have any problem with sent mails not being accepted by big ones like gmail?
@curry after i setup everyrthing I had no deliverability issue. But i had to use an external SMTP relay because of my isp filtering traffic on port 25. That adds an extra fixed IP layer that may provide a better IP reputation idk. I rent a cheap 1.2€/month vps for that purpose.
I get listed in spamhaus because of a dynamic IP, but my relay isn’t listed (at least not in not scam blocklist). Anyway I send mail, to gafam or whatever and people reply back.
I send 2-3 mails a week, maybe it counts.
