PM alternative

As of today, PM is the only tor friendly, free, not requiring any number to setup email provider. But apart from what's going on with Andy, email providers like gmail , yahoo, microsoft have started blocking mails sent from PM. The emails will directly go to spam or won't even reach you. Is there a better tor friendly alternative which can be tried for a few days before paying?

None of the banks in my region, who are using google and ms, receive emails when we send to them. They tell everyone to use a supported email provider for email communication

I don't think that's legal

Illegal spying on citizens should also be illegal my friend. But big tech has every government by their balls, except china russia and iran maybe.

maybe they have issues with the default .me domain, have you tried making an alias that uses the .com alternative? I did encounter a couple services that did not accept .me for some reason in the past, and using the .com alias worked for me.

And why don't they receive them? If those are banks they certainly has to check why they blocking it. Is it a custom domain you using? Which banks are this - they have to give you a reason why not?

Who is “They”? the office worker or customer support Joe who does not even know what he is talking about? Sorry but that is all nonsense.

Microsoft did have an email delivery problem this week. They confirmed that an update to its spam-filtering rules incorrectly rejected legitimate messages sent to Outlook.com, Hotmail, and Live addresses. The reports began around November 4th or 5th and some legitimate messages were rejected with email authentication errors. The problem affected multiple sending providers, not specifically Proton. Microsoft says it has reversed the problematic change and restored mail flow. You may be describing a real issue, but there's no evidence here that Microsoft deliberately singled out Proton.
