HI,

I have two server running with Vultr, one in Sydney and one in Tokyo. Both are 
fine and have no issue with IP addresses being blacklisted.

I'll say this, man. I really don't like Vultr. I just have a 150.00
credit to burn with them. Once that's done, I'll be making other
arrangements. My guess is you really did nothing wrong and Vultr's sys
admins are just lame.

They say it's my fault and that they have spent a tremendous amount of
time trying to get me off of the blacklist. (exaggeration included on

As you can see below, I guess it is all my fault.
I'm just going to put the DNS records back to where they were before.
What's the website for OpenBSD Amsterdam?

Looks like I may just have to move my server from the USA to the not

I was wondering the same thing. Baremetal for them is new and maybe they
haven't worked out the bugs and procedures for that yet?

If that's the case, any suggestions on a good way to word the
conversation? I tend to come across as a bit rude by accident.

Yes, I spoke to them about the problem before grabbing an additional IP
address. They said they would try to get the original IP un-blacklisted.
That did not happen, unfortunately.

They now also offer one model of bare metal, which is not a VM. I
specifically need a single dedicated server for what I am doing.
The work I'm doing is all situated inside of the USA, so something
locally oriented is a better choice for me.

My email ports are open, as I can send mail back and forth with my other
server.

Thanks,

Maybe it is a baremetal versus VPS thing? Like others here, I have been

I really must have workable email and baremetal
 
Right now the second IP I requested is 45.76.27.230
This is much worse than the first one I also have which is
108.61.242.230

I am using a server in Chicago. Where is yours located?
Maybe the location is related?

Other than this problem, I am quite happy. If I can solve this, I will
move off of my other server, which is stuck on crappy Java KVM.
I don't have any problem with another location.

Vultr has all blacklisted IP's for email

2018-12-19 Thread Chris Bennett
I was very happy with what I got for a baremetal server at Vultr.
Unfortunately, even after getting a second IP that was not from the same
range as the first one, all of these IP ranges, not single IP's, are
blacklisted in the worst category.
If you want a web/etc server, great.
If you want anything to do with email, forget them.
Shame. I need another baremetal that doesn't have Java KVM.
Any recommendations?

Thanks. Looks like anything related to Cloud may be a problem???
