In the US the 800lbs gorilla are corporations, in the EU it's regulations. No luck for the little guys.

There isn’t much cost to putting up a cname redirect (say on www.thatdomai [1]n) with a website so this particular arbitrary rule is easy enough to comply with, I guess. --srs ------------------------- From: mailop on behalf of Scott Q. via mailop Sent: Monday, April 14, 2025 8:32:36 PM To: mailop@mailop.org Subject: [mailop] Deutsche Telekom Anyone dealt/dealing with them in getting IPs unblocked ? It seems they have a new internal regulation where they want the sending domain to be explicitly linked to the actual owner that sends the e-mails. Which makes sense in theory but there's a lot of providers out there, including us, GoDaddy, ResellerClub, etc that use private domain names ( think secureserver.net ) that intentionally don't say who the owner is. Usual abuse@, postmaster@ addresses exist and are monitored but they claim those aren't reliable and want a website put up that gives a direct contact ( with phone # I guess ) Their reasoning is: "In case of a malfunction e-mail is not available. Therefore an e-mail address in the systems domain is not suitable for "quick" electronic contact to the person responsible for sending e-mails from this system." Thoughts ?
