ML's Email Blacklisting BS Excuse

Gotcha, so easy to do but enough that using it for a spammer would be problematic. That's good. I've not used email handling there so never noticed.
I am using the service to test a FreePBX ISO install and wanted email to work.

The IP address you have in fine..... Why not just use the one you have?
I checked since you posted this..... still blacklisted.
What is Google and MS using for blacklists? their own private stuff? and where are you seeing it blacklisted but aaron doesn't?

They probably do, that would be my guess. But my guess as to why he does not see it is probably because he checked the load balancer and not the server.
-
Oh wait, no load balancer. So... no idea. I was thinking that CloudFlare was there, just didn't think for a moment. But we are not behind them. He had the right IP, it just didn't list properly.
-
He had the right IP, it just didn't list properly.
I proved that it's not blacklisted, can you prove it is?

You did no such thing. Of course I can.

Here is the response from Microsoft:

You might have proved that you can't look up blacklists. You can't even suggest that you proved that we aren't blacklisted. That's not even a proveable thing.

Google responds with basically the same code.

I just read this and realized that the stress could be taken the wrong way. I didn't mean that YOU can't look up blacklists. I meant it to mean that it cannot be done reliably. No one can do it. You can try, you can do lookups to meta lists of them and get a decent idea. But there is no possible way for any service to be definitive and, as you see here, even huge ones are quite likely to fail.
Blacklisting and getting delisted is sometimes simple, sometimes hard, sometimes impossible.

It's blacklisted on 4 out of 220 list. That's only 1.8%.
Missing 1.8% of the email, seems better then no emails at all....

Nope, that is not how it works.
And how do you know that 99% of your customers are not on Office 365?

It's extremely likely that O365 and Google is reading one of those 5 places, hence the black listing problems.

1.8%? What if every email service reads those four lists? Office 365 either uses their own or those. Google either uses their own or those? Those two represent the highest volume of potential users, not 1.8%, easily 50% or more.
And each list does not represent one email provider. Email systems often query many of those RBLs. It was common ten years ago to leverage huge meta lists of blacklists to make sure that you were catching everyone. So even appearing on a single popular blacklist might block you from 90% of all email systems. So what you see as 1.8% or less, is easily 90% or more.

It's extremely likely that O365 and Google is reading one of those 5 places, hence the black listing problems.
Also pretty likely that they run their own.

If they do run their own, there has to be a way to appeal your information being on that list.

In theory they do and in theory you can. But they may run their own and use others as well.
