Super cool. How do you prevent your sending from ending up in spam folders?

  We're working on Spam Scanner because we weren't happy with rspamd nor SpamAssassin or any other archaic or non-trivial closed-door tech. See https://spamscanner.net https://spamscanner.net for more!

Thanks for this - I've been using it for a while for my and my parents' personal domains and it's been pretty much flawless!

Don't determine the users language by the country the request is coming from. My browser wants English, despite me being in Germany, so don't show me the German page. The good thing though was that besides the language selector nothing else was translated.

  It actually doesn't determine it by the country the request is coming from. How it works is fully documented here: https://github.com/ladjs/i18n#i18nmiddlewarectx-next https://github.com/ladjs/i18n#i18nmiddlewarectx-next 1) Check URL (e.g. if /de or /de/ then it's a de locale - as long as de is a supported locale) 2) Use the custom function (if provided by the detectLocale parameter) for locale detection 3) Check the "locale" cookie value (or whatever the cookie option is defined as) 4) Check Accept-Language header Regarding nothing being translated, there was an issue with our locales folder sync and that's being resolved soon!

Safari cannot open the page. The error was “could not decode raw data”

Quick question that I couldn't find in your FAQ: Can you reply to forwarded emails? As in can you communicate back and forth with someone sending emails to an alias? I've used a free email forwarding service which didn't give me this functionality (maybe this isn't common practice).

  That is not possible with forwarded emails. You need an actual SMTP server to send emails from your domain.

I was recently looking for an email forwarding service to use for a few months, initially I was searching Github for a decent OSS project that could do this for me, which is when I found your repo for Forward Email. The repo code was exactly what I was looking for, but after browsing your site and noticing how open and transparent it all was, I was instantly sold and bought the Enhanced package. So ultimately, your open source code and business transparency[0] is what convinced me to pay instead of self-host. Thank you for making it.
