Email drives me insane

But it’s given me grief, it’s not properly encoding to UTF8 so one of my email providers won’t relay the mail. I then wanted it to relay via ProtonMail Bridge, so I setup postfix to do the dirty work, yet it just won’t connect at all.

After what must have been 50 reboots of the Docker container, I gave up on that and went for another host. Which thankfully works.

Why did I just spend 4 hours on this? I have no fucking idea, but it’s successful.
