Dev1 - hey we need to run some test to ensure delivery on our emails, how should we do it?

Dev2- I dunno, just put {RANDOMSTRING}@somedomain.com and send it. Dont bother to ask @Linux about it, it is a good idea

Dev1 - sounds like a great idea! I'll send a couple of thousands, ok?

--------- TODAY ---------

Me: Hey why are we on blacklist?

    Not sure if I should laugh or get angry about that, it is funny to discover the reason but they surely fucked up and hope they don't do that again lol

    Getting on those blacklists is easy, getting off them... (especially when you deliberately sent thousands of spam emails!)

    @DLMousey that's why I prefer MailHog, it's a tiny self-hosted tool for the same purpose

    @Linux Hello Spamhaus?? Yes, I just acquired a new domain and it looks like I’m blacklisted. Yes it IS a shame. I know, it must have been used by those awful scammers. Hey since J have you on the line what can I do to get my domain off that list?

    @Diactoros

    Most likely your domain is not backlisted - just your IP-range.

    Talk to your ISP about it

    @NeatNerdPrime

    I switched of the server, and said that it is not going up until I see a commit that solved it.

    @Linux Good to know, but I was trying (poorly) to make fun of your situation. That is definitely annoying, devs are sometimes surprisingly ignorant of the structure on which all of their work relies.

    If you're genuinely trying to get your domain un-blacklisted, or at least to significantly lower the chance of this happening again, it might be a good idea to read up on DMARC, SPF and DKIM.
