And this applies to corporate mail administrators who are blocking your spammy-looking dynamic hostnames.

12. Don’t argue with mail admins who tell you that they block hosts that announce themselves with dynamic-appearing hostnames. How hard is it to get an rDNS that reflects your organisation? Or any name that doesn’t look like IP-AD-DR-ESS.isp.domain.com?

Don’t say “I’m losing a thousand dollars an hour!” Firstly, because the ISP doesn’t care whether you make money or not. Secondly, because if your product were actually so amazing that you’d be making a thousand dollars an hour, you wouldn’t need to use email to advertise it.

There are some more here.

Hahaha! I love that every single post about blacklists/blocking/etc always solicit at least one idiot who has somehow assumed you somehow have the power to fix their blocked mailserver

Roberto: abuseat.org run a blacklist, they have removal instructions on their website. Go there, read, follow the instructions.

“Do not lecture them about the law. It is unlikely you understand the legal issues better than they, and their lawyers, do”

Also, never use as an argument the law of your country when the ISP is located on different country.
