Nah, no more than a decade ago, two decades ago. I'm also on Eternal
September.
Ob-AFC: Remember when when SMTP just, yew know, worked? Now, in
addition to several standardized additions to SMTP -- DKIM, SPF inter
alia -- too technical for my pay grade [1], MTA operators are now
inserting a mixed bag of DNSBLs, filter bots that make discriminatory
inferences from RDNS and whois etc. MTA operators contract with third
parties to insert these filter services or email admins roll their own
version or combinations.
That leaves a humble user such as I to negotiate with my own ISP's
possibly impenetrable "support" or to hunt down individual ISP admins
or contracting filterbot admins and persuade them to install a
whitelist entry or otherwise find a workaround for email that evokes a
5xx bounce.
[1] I'm not an IT pro, just a retired artist blacksmith. It's
happenstance and personal idiosyncrasy that I know enough about
IP, SMTP etc. to write this. I suppose less fortuitously informed
people just hit and become embedded in a wall of penc?
