An afunctional landing page for a domain that sends and receives email. As far as I know, we are not required to run a public website, but you apparently expect one. It is a convenient place to describe our services and policies.
We provide restricted DNS (port 53) and SMTP (port 25) services for this domain. Restrictions are applied at connection time. The service will:
If we accept a SMTP connection, we accept responsibility for mail created by that connection. We will responsibly drop some mail into a blackhole. We do not relay mail.
Mail sent from this domain to remote domains (outbound mail) is always personal.
DO NOT ACCEPT COMMERCIAL OR BULK MAIL FROM THIS DOMAIN
Mail sent to this domain from remote domains (incoming mail), is:
Listwashing services continue to abuse SMTP on behalf of their spamming clients. We don't allow that.
The Internet is dual-stack but SMTP is very nearly IPv4-only. All SMTP servers including ours must support IPv4. We will support IPv6 when it benefits us to do so, but there is no such benefit now, or for the forseeable future.
This DNS server supports SMTP services for a domain. It provides needed records, such as MX and A, but it does not provide unneeded records, such as AAAA records. We respond to queries for this domain over UDP (we ran a TCP server that was regularly probed but very seldom asked a legitimate question; no, we will not transfer our zone to you; all legitimate TCP queries could have been answered in a single UDP packet). Finally, we are authoritative for this domain, and will answer all queries for this domain, but will rudely drop queries for other domains.

We apparently need one. On July 3, 2025, I along with millions of other americans received official propaganda in the form of an email from the Social Security Administration. I've received public service announcements from them, but never partisan political spam like this: "Social Security Applauds Passage of Legislation Providing Historic Tax Relief for Seniors". The legislation was starkly partisan, receiving only Republican votes. There is certainly a whiff of AI writing in the message text. Chatbots have generally improved the quality of spam prose, and this is readable nonsense. Logic not so much: the assertion that "by significantly reducing the tax burden on benefits, this legislation reaffirms President Trump's promise to protect Social Security" is at best a non sequitor.
Here is the big lie:
"The new law includes a provision that eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits for most beneficiaries, providing relief to individuals and couples. Additionally, it provides an enhanced deduction for taxpayers aged 65 and older, ensuring that retirees can keep more of what they have earned."The plain wording here is that there are two provisions in the new legislation, unless "additionally" is meaningless. That is a lie: Federal income taxes on these benefits have not been eliminated. The enhanced deduction is not an addition, it is the only thing in the new law. The new law enhances the standard deduction, but does not eliminate taxes on social security benefits. It is an oddly forced lie. They could have written that: the new law includes a provision that effectively eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits for most beneficiaries, providing relief to individuals and couples, by providing an enhanced deduction for taxpayers aged 65 and older, ensuring that retirees can keep more of what they have earned. They could have provided "spin" propaganda without resorting to bald lies. Why the gratuitous lie? It supports Trump's future lies. Trump campaigned on eliminating taxes on social security benefits. Trump will now brag that he eliminated taxes on social security benefits, just as he promised. The July 3 messaage is intended to support that lie.
Finally, the message assures us that "Social Security remains committed to providing timely, accurate information to the public and will continue working closely with federal partners to ensure beneficiaries understand how this legislation may affect them." I expect much more of this kind of "accuracy" from the feds. Will they mix transactional mail with these propaganda pieces? We have never filtered messages from our government, but it isn't our government any more, is it? A decade ago, policy was to deliver all political mail to our clients. Policy has always been to deliver all government mail. We now stop scammy. unsolicited political mail. We apparently need policy to cover political propaganda from governments: we will not deliver it.
