How is "proven" defined ?

Do they use a very strict whitelist ?

Or some other criteria ?

From what we're gathering here, a sine qua non is that the server belongs to a commercial provider (as opposed to private/personal/whatever), and this is —by their definition— based on the presence of an impressum (or lack thereof) in the web site associated with the e-mail domain (which is in itself a bit unclear, but OK).

This is in section 4.1 of https://postmaster.t-online.de/, where you also see that FcrDNS is a must, etc.

The whitelist seems to be managed by them (though surely they have some pre-approved providers), and if you're not there you can, upon request, get in the list.

Obviously this doesn't mean that anyone with an impressum can spam their users at will (at least I hope so), so whatever further spam measures they have will still apply.

The above is what I've understood from the available experiences (including mine) and from the link quoted above.

Maybe a DT representative will speak up (if needed).

Cheers,
Bernardo
