Started running a Tor relay node yesterday and found myself on the DAN TOR DNS Blacklist. Just wondered if anyone else running a node had any issues with email while running a relay node on the same server?
Yes, I've had a handful outbound emails bounce because of that stupid blacklist. (I run a Tor relay and mail server from home on the same public IP) Guy running the blacklist won't even allow you view his dumb-ass blacklist web page (https://www.dan.me.uk/dnsbl) from any Tor exit or *or non-exit relay node* for that matter. Which is just pure idiocy because it takes about 10 seconds to circumvent the block for anybody with two braincells to rub together. (ever heard of GOOGLE CACHE ya JACK-ASS?!!) Just goes to show you the mindset of the person running the thing IMO. As for inbound email to an IP running a Tor relay, I have had zero problems that I am aware of. Just hit up mailgun or sendgrid for a free personal relay account or grab a cheap VPS to relay all your outbound mail through and you're golden. -- Seth Thank you for trimming your replies
