In the German Net Neutrality report 2020/2021, published by Bundesnetzagentur, section 24, they say:In several cases end-users could not receive incoming emails. They believed that internet access providers were blocking emails of certain email providers. The blocking, however, was carried out by involved email service providers. For this reason the net neutrality Regulation did not apply. In the t-online case the blocking is carried out by the ISP.
Nice find. But: $ host mx01.t-online.de. mx01.t-online.de has address 194.25.134.72 $ whois 194.25.134.72 […] inetnum: 194.25.134.0 - 194.25.134.255 netname: DTOS-ULM-001 country: DE admin-c: HD1710-RIPE tech-c: HD1710-RIPE […] role: Hostmaster DTOS address: Deutsche Telekom Technik GmbH address: Bonn address: Germany […] nic-hdl: HD1710-RIPE […] route: 194.25.0.0/16 descr: Deutsche Telekom AG, Internet service provider origin: AS3320 […] As such: the MXes are run by »Deutsche Telekom Technik GmbH«, their IP space is routed by »Deutsche Telekom AG, Internet service provider«. Therefore it's not a net neutrality issue: There is a distinction between the mail service and the routing service. Even if not: AFAICS net neutrality only applies to the transport level. So if the GmbH or the AG would configure their routers to drop 25% of packets to my ASN (or if I'd do similar stuff), that would be an issue of net neutrality. -kai _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
