Thunderbird is a rare counter-example of an open source project that manages to maintain a significant staff through donations. Although affiliated with Mozilla, they are not funded by Mozilla. (I am no longer affiliated with Thunderbird, but I managed the project in the dark years after Mozilla suddenly dropped all funding and tried to get us to leave Mozilla.)

I'm getting very tired of all of the "this is ai slop" comments. They are now worse than the slop itself. Maybe HN needs a voting button "this is ai slop" so you can make your point without becoming slop yourself.

The only way that email is down for days for a competent sysadmin is if their DNS is also with AWS, so I assumed that was the case. Assuming that is true, what is weird to me is that, after deciding he hated AWS and left it, that he still kept his business DNS (the most important service there is) with AWS.

"Zelle’s website notes that it will send emails only from domains ending in @zelle.com and @zellepay.com, and any others could be scams."
I don't know if Zelle really said this or if this is just a misinterpretation by the author, but spoofing email "From" addresses is trivial, and should never be used to confirm anything. Whoever said this is dangerously clueless about security.
