When this topic comes up periodically, some people comment about the difficulty of having their outgoing mail often blacklisted or automatically marked as spam when being sent to major email hosts (such as Google, MS, etc.) Have you found this to be a problem?

I had this issue a couple of times (with Comcast IIRC) in the early oughts (somehow I found myself on a RBL/DNSBL). I resolved that fairly quickly.

I haven't had problems since. Just to make sure, I implemented SPF/DKIM/DMARC in my DNS zones. And I'm sure implementing DNSSec didn't hurt either.

And except for those few times 15-20 years ago, my environment has worked like champ.


Implementing DNSSEC didn't help your deliverability.


Only without outlook. I am currently working to fix the issue. They have a process, and it's definitely a process.

Barring that. I still have my gmail account.
