BrickLink, you have an e-mail problem.

For three days now I do not receive all mails from BL.

Expecially drive-trough mails for orders I ship are not being delivered to all
of my customers and the copies of these e-mails are not delivered to me.

I contacted my e-mail provider and they told me:

   We will gladly accept the platform's emails if they fix the spam problem and allow
themselves to be removed from the Hostkarma blacklist. At least parts of their system are
listed on this blacklist.


So BrickLink, you are blacklisted on the Hostkarma blacklist. Do something about
it. You can do it here:

Yes, it seems to, see the blue line here:
https://multirbl.valli.org/lookup/bricklink.com.html

On the other side, does it change anything, as it's listed in maybe 1/100
blacklists?

I don't know how it works - but I suppose e-mail servers don't use ONLY
one blacklist to take decisions.

I don't know how it works - but I suppose e-mail servers don't use ONLY
one blacklist to take decisions.

They typically use more than one and it can be VERY HARD to get removed from
an email blacklist. The problem is finding the "seed" address(es) used
by the blacklist and removing them from the email list. The blacklist typically
won't tell you what address it is.

Suppose someone registered for BL 10 years ago and abandoned his account, but
it's still active. The email address associated with the account could be
a seed address for a blacklist now.

Yep like the few pirated accounts we've seen and talked in forum a few months
ago. Agreed on everything.

I have the same issue. I get some, but not all, of BrickLink emails. It is very
frustrating. I've tried to work with my email provider to white list them,
but it hasn't worked for me either.
