Given I was just warming up some IPs for testing, and didn’t move anything real over there. I doubt they are even using it still, but that’s my experience on VPS.

IMHO at least get a /29 on IPv4 so that the provider can SWIP your IP Space, and make sure they do it.

Run all the BCOPs, DKIM, SPF, DMARC, and even MTA-STS since it’s relatively easy, if possible add DANE and TLSA records.

First though, look at the reputation of every provider. Talos is one place, MailOps is another: https://www.mailop.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop

Check out M3AAWG: https://www.m3aawg.org/, though a lot of the information is going to be towards bulk senders.

Finally define your acceptable risk, so I’ve got dedicated servers on OVH with all BCOPs except for Google’s ARC, never did figure that out on milters,

but it’s RBL’d on a few providers which is fine since I mainly use it for incoming and down notifications on monitoring, so I’ve got myself whitelisted.

It really does amaze me how many people don’t know the reputations of providers like DO, OVH, Hetzner, AWS and right now SendGrid…
I personally would love to just put blocks in, but due to customers, I have to rely on RBLs which thankfully are pretty much dumping them all in spam.

Case in point… Use TalosIntelligence.com before you purchase a VPS for email, it’ll probably save you a lot of hassle.

Why is AS14061 on your block list?

Truckloads of spam, hacking attempts - why else?
