DO is probably the worst choice as they have one of the worst reputations for emitting trash... I drop do entirely and have done for a few years, nothing appears to come from there apart from trash though so I haven't noticed any problems there. Literally anyone else (even ovh these days) would be a better choice for delivery success.
- quags 4y agoI raise the asn of do a bit using the asn module for rspamd. Same goes for ips in rbls - score higher and take a complete picture score using multiple data points. There are legitimate systems on do and you never know the email you don’t get unless someone goes out of your way to send email another way. Personally I get more spam from gmail and outlook than digital ocean but obviously due to both of their sizes it probably is less than a provider like do overall.
- throwaway67743 4y agoFair points, if I'm expecting an email though and don't get one I just check logs, which I do regularly anyway as often mail isn't delivered due to sender's provider incompetence (dkim is hard apparently) - but I guess it also depends if you're expecting mail from random people in which case you'd probably want to be a bit more lenient yeah. Also re Gmail etc that is also true, but the difference there is it's limited to a couple whereas do also emits general abuse under the guise of "researchers" without identity or contact details etc - until they stop doing that they'll forever remain dropped entirely
