There's been some confusion around this requirement from T-Online for a while now, and it seems to be unevenly enforced. And perhaps not even clearly defined.
Couldn't hurt if you want to reach out to t...@rx.t-online.de and ask for clarification. Like I did about their filtering over all. I don't want to be the only one who nibbles them to death with questions. They did respond to me and answer my questions, though it took a bit of back and forth for them to understand that I was asking about policy and not specifically asking for help with any particular IP address.
