I was also struggling with DNS issues all day so this is what I am putting in place for now. Yah, good enough is good enough. Thanks for the idea.

Oooooh, that smtp2go looks really nice. I am going to put this on my to-do list and check it out soon. Thanks!

Not quite what I need, but thanks

OK, that’s amazing but also probably more than I need. My form just has like three fields. But thanks for the idea.

Don’t really want to completely re-do my web site, but thanks.

I’m no expert, but the issue here seems to be replacing many smaller contracts with one big one for Palantir. I. E., one agenda headed in one dark direction.

You can consider using a Pikapods service for this. It’s dead simple to strand up a server when you need one.

They have Gokapi and/or PrivateBin for just about a buck per month. You can turn the service on and off whenever you like. Good company to work with, IME, too.

I believe this is the “Gang of Four” book:

“Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software”

ISBN: 0201633612

Maybe just let it REST?
