It depends on whom you send to. Like ironically I sent an abuse complaint to Verizon for a spammer and got rejected because they blocked all of Digital Ocean's IP space. Yahoo was particularly difficult too sending me a response saying they won't take my mail immediately on a single email to my brother. I had to go through a lot to get that fixed. Again this was due to being on cloud provider IP space.

GMail is more reasonable with perhaps being spam filtered but never blocked outright. I have also been blocked by government labs and academic institutions. I also have complied with RDNS, DKIM, SPF and got a top score on mx toolbox. Now that I have been up for a while I have had less issues besides with the ones that block cloud provider spaces.



Microsoft is the toughest one. Fortunately, I don't have friends that use outlook.com or w/e


Does your email get blocked if it is sent to a business on O365?


haven't tried in a while. It can, they dont' follow all the rules and do a little more blocking in the interest of their users or based off a ML spam detection or something.

Some things that should be delivered are not. I'd have to dig back into this to see what the exact issue is.


unfortunately DO does not seem to be as active as Amazon in maintaining the reputation of their IPs.
