Hey all,
This is gonna be tough to put into words, but I'm gonna try. Lemme describe the problem...
I recently moved from a shared server, to a Virtual Cloud server (with my own IP address for me and my clients) to avoid all the blacklisting issues that arise from being on a shared server. Good idea, right? Maybe not...
Cause now I have a whole new set of problems...
1. I checked the IP with MXToolBox before I put it into play. Everything looked good. I'm stoked. Shortly after I moved all my clients to the new cloud server, I find out Microsoft has BLOCKED my IP. *pullinghairout*. Went though a bit of drama with them to get my IP unblocked, and all is now well when checking with SNDS. *phew*. But even now, any email I send to an MS email (hotmail, live, outlook) will end up in that persons accounts spam folder until replied to. Ok, I can maybe live with that, but I'm gonna pursue that with MS and see how far I get with it.
2. I'm subscribed to MXToolBox with one of my clients domains. A couple days ago, I get notified that I'm now on the UCEPROTECTL3 blacklist. I call my domain provider and they tell me they are aware, removing the spammer, and trying to get my IP off the blacklist.
Apparently UCEPROTECTL3 has blacklisted a whole block of IP addresses, and mine is somewhere in the middle of that block of IP addresses.
The whole reason I moved to a cloud server, with my own IP was to prevent all these email issues, and NOW I have almost the same problem??? Suffice it to say, I'm not real happy at all!! lol
So I guess the question I have is...
Is it even possible to protect yourself from these issues of being in a range of blocked IP addresses?
I have more questions, but I'll just leave it at that for now to make life simple.
Thanks in advance for the help!
