Digital Ocean has an extremely poor reputation over a long period to the point where their droplets are blocked on mass in many places now [1]
Even my local ISP refuses mail from them.

- teh_klev 5y agoReally sorry, I don't normally nit pick spelling and grammar, but it's "en masse" rather than "on mass".
- bombcar 5y agoYeah, lots of places just straight up block entire IP ranges, such as anywhere you can get a VM for cheap/free, or residential IP ranges, etc.
- zcdziura 5y agoThis is also why I went with Vultr as my server host. They block port 25 by default and make customers file a support ticket with them to unblock that port. They also require your account be active for at least a month and be using their service in good standing during that time. Wasn't an instant process, but was simple enough to accomplish in the end.
