We are unpacking, settling in, and are enjoying the summer vibes of San Antonio!
Our e-mail changed. You can use the old one, although it is read less often, or comment with your Google account here for the updated address.
My old e-mail vasquez.moira at gmail still works yet it is not read very often. I never did have control if someone communicated with the person who obtained moira.vasquez. I dropped the owner of that email address a note in 2005! Never heard back from them.
Someone started doing a fair amount of online impersonations of me and spoofed emails to people I knew in 2016. I moved our email to a server where we could better control our security settings in 2018. It is working really well!
We have been using something called DMARC/DKIM/SPF. That is a lot of alphabet soup; however, in short, and our spam was reduced by approximately 90%.
Additionally, we moved to a provider that so far, has done really well with not releasing metadata into the wild and providing end to end encryption services that are simple to use. While I was relying on typical commerical e-mail services, I was seeing a fair amount of web bots created from metadata marketers were collecting. This was annoying and had to be fixed ;-)
Since I am on a Google platform with this blog, it would seem strange to promote our new email service here, so I will reserve that for later.
Unfortunately, I cannot know who wrote who from email accounts from prior jobs or consulting engagements. If you received anything suspicious please do let me know! I was appraised there were probably a few emails sent under my account by a former boss, on servers we do not control or manage when I left a consulting assignment.
We are back in Texas, so if anyone wants to get in touch please drop a line or you can reach me at
