Hello. I may offend someone by writing this, but I think this is important to know for the project. Also please now that I am heavily fed up by receiving these spams from Digital Ocean networks, but I still tried to be considerate in this mail. If I failed, please forgive me. In the end I am just the messenger, so please don´t shoot me.

On one side I am happy you got a new sponsor, but on the other side up to now I only knew Digital Ocean networks as source for repeated spam mails from new TLDs like .xyz, .site, .faith and so on. I sent about five abuse reports to them already, but only got automated replies. And yes, there was some pause in spams, but now I received one again, again from a network from Digital Ocean.¹ So they seem to have trouble making sure that their customers are serious in that they do not use VMs for spamming or capable of securing their server VMs to make sure no one else abuses them for this. I am now close to the point of completely blocking *complete* networks / AS's from Digital Ocean. But then I might block serious users, such as the admins of the KDE project. Still, as these spams currently escape my Spamassassin and policyd-weight network, I may still do it, no matter whether there are serious users as I am not willing at all to tolerate these spam mails and I am not willing to continue to add domain after domain and IP address after IP address whenever a new VM from Digital Ocean throws spam at my server. I would block with a REJECT like suggested by Ronny on postfixbuch-users mailing list², which specially mentions to contact [email protected] about this, as otherwise there will be ne pressure for Digital Ocean to improve the situation. So that much about good reputation from my side. I really hope Digital Ocean people get their act together and reliably prevent that VMs from their network send spam. Until they do, I suggest not to put any of the KDE project´s mail infrastructure onto their servers to avoid the risk of being blocked by users like me. If you still do, please tell me the IPs, so I can make sure I do not block them. [1] this is my current configuration in Postfix and no, this is *no* joke, as far as I looked, these all oriented from Digital Ocean networks – I didn´t even bother to include all the IPs: /klicken.*\.xyz/ DISCARD S2016-06: Spam discarded. /klicken.*\.accountant/ DISCARD S2016-06: Spam discarded. /mailing.*\.xyz/ DISCARD S2016-06: Spam discarded. /mailing.*\.site/ DISCARD S2016-06: Spam discarded. /server.*\.xyz/ DISCARD S2016-06: Spam discarded. /weiter.*\.top/ DISCARD S2016-06: Spam discarded. /aufmachen.*\.party/ DISCARD S2016-06: Spam discarded. /95\.85\.8\.87/ DISCARD S2016-06: Spam discarded. /178\.62\.235\.237/ DISCARD S2016-06: Spam discarded. /46\.101\.111\.79/ DISCARD S2016-06: Spam discarded. /versand.*\.faith/ DISCARD S2016-07: Spam discarded.
