Spamhaus has falsely flagged The Cyberix Network

If you have sent an email to any email belonging to the cy-x.net domain, it may not have gone through, or we are unable to respond to any of your inquiries.

This is because Spamhaus has put the Cyberix Network on a domain blocklist, and they refuse to take us off of it because "The domain is not eligible for removal while being associated with this neighbourhood." They additionally add "We recommend moving your domain to a hosting network with good reputation."

>good reputation
Obviously meaning “less privacy-respecting.”
It seems that using a provider that values user privacy automatically puts you in a “bad neighbourhood.”

Unfortunately, being on this one blocklist means that most major email providers will reject or silently drop our messages.

Consider this a heads up. Currently trying to find a solution to this in the meantime.

Spamhaus is not a public entity, they are free to do whatever they want. They are beholden to no one, especially you. They are free to enact whatever policies they wish and your only recourse is to build your own alternative.

Unfortunate. Will find other methods of contact to put on the Connect page as an alternative. Our friend diggy @ digdeeper.club prefers XMPP as his primary method of contact precisely because of these kinds of issues.

Why has the obvious troll comment not been deleted? Anyway, I'd suggest using Protonmail or Tutanota.

Spamhaus is a scourge. You know how Google has been boiling the frog, especially on Youtube, by (briefly) requiring real names be used for profiles, then requiring login for "mature" videos, then requiring login for almost any video if your IP doesn't have established watch history (Sign in to confirm you're not a bot), and now rolling out ID requirements so even logged in users have to show paperwork?

Spamhaus is doing the same thing for email. Google knows exactly which views are bots (they are an advertising company), and Spamhaus knows exactly where real spam is coming from. And yet every quarter they push out another "feature" like locking down their DNSBLs to registered users, requiring email verification to view site content, and punishing innocent providers with collateral damage policies like the one currently harming this site to push economic pressure and move services data and money to centralized services (ahem... Like Protonmail or Tutanota).

Fuck Spamhaus. I've never seen a company so driven to drive themselves out of business by wielding corporate power against innocent people to the extent that they wish to establish a global email system with centralized corporate control. They are already almost there. I believe one day they will switch to a whitelist and the only servers allowed to send email to domains using Spamhaus will be the institutions that fund them and the services those institutions vouch for.
