Sorry for my email problems. I finally found out why things bounce/fail 
so often. From:

Verizon Email Retirement

https://www.verizon.com/support/residential/email

And Frontier, current bandwidth supplier, as a spin-off from Verizon, is 
getting out of the email server services too. I'm not going down the 
Yahoo mail calamity pathway, so what choices do I have.

So who do folks recommend for mail server services?

Time to set up my own mail server (what I prefer to do).

/usr/portage/mail-mta	lists:

sendmail (15 years since I rode/mastered that beast, but  well known.
postfix (probable the best choice?

Default simple/secure setups for either of these?

I can get static IPs and have machines for a pair of primary dns (rasp 
pe 4?) servers and a mail server.
Rasp pi 4 cluster of 2, 3, 4 ?

Any other (temp) solutions for the mail server?

I have been using thunderbird, but it seems like a good time to 
implement something newer/more-secure for the
easiest install?
