ML's Email Blacklisting BS Excuse

@JaredBusch said in ML's Email Blacklisting BS Excuse:
Also, going with a provider like Vultr, that blocks outbound port 25 by default means that you will have a very low probability of IP address issues.
That's true. But how would I get email out, then? I've not tested there, what do you do to enable it?

The IP address you have in fine..... Why not just use the one you have?
It was tested and both O365 and GMail had it on blacklists.

I checked since you posted this..... still blacklisted.

Email support. They responded in under a half an hour on a Sunday.

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.

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?
