It's very funny to me that all of our municipal EU customers requires that we host in EU. But they all run Microsoft online email, Entra and so on themselves.
They literally reject your emails. There is also nothing you can do if ms/google black lists you.
The only real solution for EU is to ban the operations of Google and Microsoft. China style. So that their ecosystem can breath again.
No, just wishes, more sketchy data brokers who claim they have the blacklists and prayers to the US monopolies.
And the question becomes why in 2026 should the EU bow to the wishes of US monopolies?
Anyone can build an email service. Anyone can build a “cloud”. Anyone can build a spreadsheet.
Good riddance.
There are so many ESPs that do not get rejected. Neither is it true that there isn't anything you can do if you end up on a blacklist.
That's not to say that it's trivial, but it's certainly doable.
Unfortunately, Drive and Voice are keeping me subscribed to their service despite me wanting VERY BADLY to exit it. Neither have good alternatives that check all the boxes.
