<p>OK, I get this.  I gave email addresses to all my agent profiles using Migadu, which required a password from me somewhere -- with a whole team of agents, this is a lot of manual setup by default.  After I gave them emails, I invited them to team plans and discovered the many services that detect them as bots despite their email address at a domain and mailserver with good reputation.  There is a problem to be solved here.<p>That being said -- my agents only email each other and me! AgentMail is an OK start with the human <-> agent requirement, but consider that is a whitelist of a single email.  The feature for AgentMail should be: we let your agent sign up easily for an email, and it has a very <i>limited list of addresses and domains it can send outgoing email</i>.  This is very unlike normal email!  I actually can't think of a single (human-facing) provider that will enable me to blacklist domains at the mailserver level to prevent outgoing mail from going to forbidden destinations.<p>Allowing a bot/agent to send email to any domain, with only a tagline to indicate the bot, is spam.  But -- just like sandboxing the network and CLI commands available to the agent on my Mac Mini -- sandboxing an agent's email would just be the smart thing to do.<p>Pivot to an agent email sandbox and you will get plenty of the right kinds of customers, who won't ruin your mailserver reputation.  Provide some easy agent-friendly whitelists out-of-the-box like same-custom-domain, and a similar approval system for new addresses/domains built on your OTP setup.</p>

<p>A properly configured WAF is arguably necessary to maintain SLAs on an API available on the web. Bad actors will hammer any open API endlessly unless the API shows signs of defense. This can affect connection latency for good users and cost for the business.  Why would you ever bother processing (and cause server and database load and charges) for a million bogus login or search requests if the WAF can handle it automatically and basically for free?<p>Most bad actors are looking for easy targets and will move on when seeing minimal defenses. If we want to continue enjoying an open and accessible internet where any client that speaks the protocol can connect, then WAFs are an integral part of maintaining that public service.</p>

<p>I use a Chromecast Ultra for this, works with Spotify, Tidal, Youtube apps.  Or, if you don't care about 4K get a regular 3rd gen Chromecast.  These are NOT the newest gen Chromecasts with Google TV, these are 'dumb' devices that just receive streams and don't run apps.<p>Unfortunately as of a few years ago Google TV/Android TV forces ads for useless content in the home screen, taking up bandwidth and slowing load times.  The 'dumb' Chromecasts can still talk to the AVR over HDMI-CEC to turn on power, adjust volume, etc.</p>
