@ebrithil sure, hosting a mail server there would be a stupid idea, but bans like these affect even simple stuff like application health monitoring, where an app sends automated emails on its own.
Guess what happens when that server gets blacklisted - delivery issues.
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Fucking UCEPROTECT blacklist, who the hell blacklists a whole fucking ASN when they detect even a large amount of spam coming from it? For all they know, it could be just a couple of IPs. But nooooo, instead of blacklisting IPs, they blacklist the whole ASN, so now, even some of our machines are on the list, without us ever doing anything. Just because the IP is from the DigitalOcean prefix. UGH.
