Just before I made this acc XynonWasTaken (hence the WasTaken) I tried making an account on this forum through my tutanota email rather than my gmail. When I tried to look for the email verification email, it was nowhere to be found in my inbox (checked spam and everything else) and retried sending verification a few times, but still never showed up.
Under gmail however, it showed up the first try pretty much instantly.
Has anyone encountered this before?
Well, there are still some mail providers which are blocking our mails.
For some reason our mail server is often on some blacklists.
(Don!t know why, I can only guess is is sabotage.)
You can try to contact me on IRC channel #artix at libera and I can activate your account.
While our mail server's FQDN is green on Barracuda RBL lookup, its IP address is red. Go figure.
Oh I see. I’ll try to contact you on irc then.
Never looked up those statistics. Horrible how abused email as service is.

Only 14,2% of ~370.000.000 mails allowed... :o
Sorry if this is a silly question but have you requested removal ?
Years ago I was hosting an email server on my home IP and ended up on a lot of blacklists when my daughter got a virus.
Though a pain contacting them all, the removal process was fairly smooth and fast.
You are also blacklisted by 'UCEPROTECTL3' according to mxtoolbox.com
Yes. We've even tried to use their paid service, but the link points to a dead site...
That may well be a range blacklist, an entire subnet.
Just had a little dig into this.
You are right UCEPROTECTL3 is a range blacklist, what they call level 3, and there is no option to request removal. Their suggestion is to complain to your provider asking them to close down spammers services.
There is a paid removal link but that only applies to their level 1 list so would be no help to you.
However from the little I've read this list is not widely used and may in fact becoming less used as they have become a bit overzealous.

There are many suggestions that they are a scam.
The Barracuda RBL is more widely used. It used to have a default spamassassin rule but now needs adding manually due to Barracuda starting to requiring registration of the querying ip(s)
I've looked around their site and there does not seem to be a paid removal option. Just the free one as below. Maybe worth another shot ?

You may know all of this already but I know you are busy devs so maybe not ?
You can whitelist addresses with tutanota, would that help?

I routinely use that form, saved form fields in the browser and all :)
Sucks. They seem to be quick enough to put ip's on the blacklists.
Very frustrating I'm sure.
