Sorry, I pasted the wrong line. There have been multiple returnpath listing levels, and they have changed over the years, and the names have changed. I didn't keep notes, but my score adjustments are to give a small positive score (2) to the lower of the VALIDITY rules, and a negative to the higher one. Keep in mind this is based on what arrived in my mailbox, and possibly a very long time ago. score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_SAFE 2 # was -2 score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_CERTIFIED -2 # was -3 The real point is to evaluate what arrives and realize that all RBLs, positive and negative, need to be assessed. > Anyway, I might have to migrate my domain and get a dedicated IP > first, but with a dedicated IP, I could try to get on dnwsl.org.

NONE is mostly for skipping greylisting, and I'm not sure what it takes to get on LOW and MED. I know it takes a lot to get on HIGH. Unlike companies that take money for listing, I have confidence in dnswl to act in the interests of receivers that use their RBL. >> "listed as contacts" sort of sounds like you are spamming... > > Honestly, I wasn't sure how to explain this without going down the > rabbit hole of explaining my whole situation.

My point is that you do not seem to truly understand what is going on (fair enough, the world is opaque and complicated) and that understanding it is good. >> .space is Widely Regarded as Sketchy > > I still have pretty strong feelings about this, but that's a debate > for a different time and a different thread.

I really don't know, but using a domain name that leads to people giving it spam points seems like an uphill battle. >> As for your "domain", also look up the IP address your mail comes from, >> because that's more important.> A lookup service I have found useful is: > >>https://multirbl.valli.org/ > > Ok, actually, I got some interesting results for 136.143.188.53, which > is a Zoho server I have apparently sent mail from.

I said you should understand if you have a shared IP, and *who else is sharing it*. When they spam, it gets the IP on lists, which causes you trouble. It looks like spam comes from that IP address. > My takeaway here is that I should be switching registrars, I should > probably pay for a dedicated IP address, and once I'm getting a > dedicated IP, anyway, I should try to get on a whitelist (probably > dnswl, unless you have a better suggestion). Would you agree with > that summary? Or do you think Zoho is the more likely problem? I really don't know, and you may need a consultant to help you figure it out. In general, I recommend not sending mail from an IP address that other people send spam from, and not dealing with companies that provide any kind of services to spammers.
