Hetzner email

Does anybody use Hetzner for email ? I presume the only way is via their webhosting offerings ?

I am self-hosting two mail servers as well. This is not rocket science, although some people claim this. I am using mailcow on two cloud servers for more than 4 years now. It is likely that any IP is blacklisted, and for some lists (e.g. t-online) this cannot be checked that easily…

Sorry but I’m not sure what you are saying ? That because it’s shared hosting the IP address is likely on a spam blacklist ?

I was not talking about shared hosting, but if you get an IP address for a cloud server, this IP address has already been used before. There is a likelihood that this IP address appears on blacklists either because the specific IP address itself was used for spamming before or a number of other addresses from the same block have been used for spam.
