When is a request for product recommendations not a request for product recommendations?
@PaulGear I would start by not explicitly asking "What products are out there?" Instead, define the end state, what you want to accomplish, and then any constraints. And I'd personally lose the bullet list and rewrite any necessary parts of it in prose, but that's mainly style.

How good are we at closing questions?
Locked shopping questions which have gone out of date are a whole other issue. Feel free to ask your own question about them.

Email Question that might not fit on SF
That's probably because you're sending directly from EC2. A few places blacklist every Amazon EC2 IP address range. I have a server on EC2, and I relay all its mail through a little VPS at some other small $PROVIDER nobody's ever heard of. It gets 99%+ delivered.

Come to think of it, at that volume you could probably use your ISP's SMTP relay for free. Presuming, of course, that this is not bulk mail but simply routine person-to-person mail.

At 30 messages per day I doubt I would even bother with a third party service. If you have an email admin who is even halfway clueful, you can manage deliverability for such a low volume yourself.

Yes, you can set it up in-house, but can you do it for $780 per year? The answer is probably no...

Should someone post an answer when all they did was Google Fu?
I do this all the time. Go right ahead.

Tag Cleanup, *core*

What Server Fault-specific advice should we give folks asking questions here?
We also link to this page in one of the mod messages, so I am definitely interested in customizing it.

ServerFault - rules for questions without accepted answers?
@ErikE By default it shows "no upvoted answers". Those need upvotes too! Especially when they're correct. You then click on "no answers" to get questions with zero actual answers.

Systematic downvotes?
There are only two downvotes, on two different posts, at very different times. This does not look like serial downvoting.
