Postmark just dropped our outbound email for high bounce rates. Falling back to SendGrid :/ Try again in 5 minutes. Edit: Ask HN: Any suggestions for solving this? Hitting the frontpage means people are spamming the login form with bogus addresses like a@a.com that bounce and cause trouble for us and the ESPs. Not ideal, but I'm not sure how to solve this for a small scale side-project. Discussion in https://github.com/portier/portier-broker/issues/96
In Portier – An email-based, passwordless authentication service
We're literally running this on a hobby-tier Heroku dyno, with free-level redis and smtp services and doing fine at the tens-of-requests-per-minute rate. So you should be able to host your own! :) Once we implement https://github.com/portier/portier-broker/issues/88, it'll even be a 2-click process to get going. We do intend to keep https://broker.portier.io online as a public service / reference implementation, but we don't have anyone on call or anything if it falls over. On the upside, the Broker is written in Rust, so it shouldn't segfault all that often. ;)
In Portier – An email-based, passwordless authentication service
We discussed this in https://github.com/portier/portier-broker/issues/44, and unfortunately don't think there's a good way to blanket-enable support for G Suite domains. :( I'd really love to make this possible in the near future. Maybe an opt-in flag? Or finishing up our federated protocol and building a tiny service that bridges between that and G-Suite? Suggestions / feedback into that bug would be really helpful.
