Update: seems like we got removed from the SURBL blacklist, reason that was cited was we were included in a crypto newsletter that doesn't do opt in confirmations (messaged newsletter directly to notify) Will give it some time to make sure that things reset before trying again cc @baz.eth

😔 I dealt with these guys (spamhaus, spamcop, etc.) for 7+ years when I was building an affiliate network. They do important work, but they are also notoriously trigger fingered with near zero remorse for the damage they cause for false positives. Very frustrating.

Yeah had never experienced this before! Pretty wild how someone else's email we weren't aware of can set this off for us

It's typically a good idea to have a separate, unrelated domain for links that get used in emails so that your primary corporate domain is not affected. Sometimes they will crawl a link and blacklist the url and the destination landing page domain, but it's still worth having that separation (for legitimate purposes)

They are all anti-spam hardliners What they typically do: 1. seed a newsletter with a spam trap email they monitor but will not double opt-in confirm that email 2. If that email gets a hit, they blacklist not only the sending domain, but any links within the email that are being promoted (e.g. bountycaster.xyz)
