New Gmail rules enforced starting in February should reduce spam, make it easier to unsubscribe from bulk senders, and close email security loopholes exploited by cybercriminals.

Alternative headline: Google is making it even harder for non-Google operators of mail servers to interoperate with gmail.

Ehh I dunno, this doesn't really change much for regular mail operators. Anyone can choose to reject any message as spam based on whatever rules they choose, and this seems pretty reasonable.

I certainly don't enjoy having to update my mail server configuration every couple of years. But once done it does make a huge difference to what gets through. I do worry there might be tweaks to make for my patch sending workflow.
