   You really just got to send more e-mail and then ask your friends to mark it as "not-spam" .. #spamhaus is probably the least you have to worry about. I run my own e-mail server as well:

   ...and I wrote this back in 2015 on the whole "marked as spam" issue:

   There's an older article that's gone now (you can sometimes find it in an archive) titled "The hostile e-mail landscape"
   
   After a few years with my e-mail on Hetzer, most of it seems to get through now. mail-tester.com is a pretty decent checking tool.

     • The Spamhaus Project

     I’ve decided to go full-in with my own mail server. The #ProtonMail bridge over SSH+VPN tunnel is no substitute for a proper mail server - plus it’s awfully slow when used as a full IMAP server and it breaks the IMAP implementation in a lot of ways.

     I’ve created my new domain, gone through the configuration of DKIM/DMARC/SPF like a good postmaster, just to get immediately blacklisted by @spamhaus on my first outbound email.

     I’ve been through this before, but in my previous experiences a blacklist removal ticket would be either resolved automatically or within a couple of hours at most.

     In this case, nearly 24h and three tickets later and nothing is moving. Not even some directions on how to get removed or an ETA. The mailboxes have already been all migrated with forwarding configured on the old addresses, but outbound email is still broken because being blacklisted by a single company means being unable to communicate with nearly any mail servers out there.

     Does anyone have any tips on how a #Spamhaus blacklist removal process can be sped up?
