Still working fine here. And about to switch to no-DNS emails (alice@[x.x.x.x] and bob@[IPv6:...] in the SMTP specs)

Highly unlikely you'd be able to deliver any mail to any significant operator after that switch.

I did run a few months in no-DNS email mode without issues, but was 2-3 years ago. I know regulation and lawyers may be needed if significant conflicts happen with unreasonable system administrators.

It is critically important to keep the emails flowing independently from the DNS mafia/racket, like the web, but I guess we all very know that here on HN.

It's really not a racket and it's really not critical.

This means, we cannot agree.
