Hi everyone, 

a couple of weeks ago I configured a new Postfix server, it's used exclusively 
by a newsletter service with 20000 subscribers. 
The newsletter service has been active for more than 10 years on a very old 
server running qmail. 
Unfortunately, I had to decommission the old qmail server in a few days, 
replacing it with the new one. It was not possible to keep the same IP address. 
I've correctly configured the SPF, DKIM, DMARC and PTR records (mail-tester.com 
gives me 10/10). 
The first few days, I had problems delivering mail to several providers due to 
the amount of messages. I guess it's partly due to the new IP. 
For example: 

Mar 30 15:37:00 mx1 postfix/smtp[2021]: 6940F7FF09: to=<REDACTED>, 
relay=mx-eu.mail.am0.yahoodns.net[188.125.72.74]:25, delay=3473, 
delays=0.47/3472/0.71/0.04, dsn=4.7.0, status=deferred (host 
mx-eu.mail.am0.yahoodns.net[188.125.72.74] said: 421 4.7.0 [TSS04] Messages 
from REDACTED temporarily deferred due to unexpected volume or user complaints 
- 4.16.55.1; see https://postmaster.yahooinc.com/error-codes (in reply to MAIL 
FROM command)) 

After a few mailings, the situation seems to have stabilized, Yahoo no longer 
gave me problems. 
Unfortunately, a good percentage of our subscribers use an email address from 
Italiaonline/IOL (libero.it, virgilio.it, iol.it, inwind.it, etc...). 
Most of the emails to IOL get bounced: 

Mar 30 00:15:40 mx1 postfix/smtp[51700]: 509762617D: to=<REDACTED>, 
relay=smtp-in.libero.it[213.209.1.129]:25, delay=116950, 
delays=116848/101/0.09/1.1, dsn=4.0.0, status=deferred (host 
smtp-in.libero.it[213.209.1.129] said: 451 too many messages, slow down. 
[smtp-22.iol.local; LIB_650] (in reply to end of DATA command)) 

The limit is triggered very quickly and it's removed after several hours. 
I tried to throttle the sending to IOL addresses on Postfix ( 
destination_concurrency_limit = 2 and destination_rate_delay = 300s ), but I 
keep getting capped after a while. 
I don't have much information regarding the old qmail server, but it seems that 
there were not all these problems (there wasn't even DKIM and DMARC 
configured!). 

I don't understand how to resolve these problems with the libero.it mailboxes 
(and more generally, with all Italiaonline mailboxes). Do you have a contact in 
Italiaonline who can help me? 
Any info would help me, thanks in advance. 

Regards, 
Claudio
