FYI, t-online is often discussed on "mailop" mailing list as their criteria
for rejecting e-mails are sometimes unusual.

For example they may block IP addresses that didn't successfully send mail
to them previously, and you may need to request to manually unblock the
address via their contact form.

Besides requirement on matching FcrDNS, which is quite common, they also
require that WHOIS for the IP address must contain an abuse e-mail address.

They also recommend in their sender guidelines (although it is not said that
they require that, but in fact it is possible that they do) that "the host's
domain leads to a website providing full contact details". 

They also warn against using sender address verification on messages that
come *to you from their domain* - using that probably may get you blocked by
them. Sending bounces to them (eg. in case of non-existing address), or too
large number of their SMTP rejections on messages you send to them may also
get you blocked.

Plus they announced recently on the "mailop" list that they will start to
check DKIM on incoming e-mails (not DMARC, only DKIM, and they will of
course do it in a non-standard way), and will reject all e-mails that:
a) are NOT DKIM signed and come freom senders that they "do not have
established contacts with" (read: you can send a non-DKIM signed mail if you
are eg. Google or Microsoft :))
b) the envelope From domain, the header From domain and the DKIM From domain
do not match (all three must match, which will probably reject mails from
most mailing lists)

They are... well, just strange, doing everything differently.
