It looks like there are quite a few Synchting relay servers on networks which are listed on the Spamhaus DROP list. Even if traffic is end-to-end encrypted, this sounds a bit ugly to me.

Today I learned that #SpamHaus doesn't work with IPv6: I get an "open resolver" error even though I haven't exposed my DNS server to the outside world—just by using IPv6—because SpamHaus is worried that users might bypass rate limiting by constantly changing their IP addresses, so it blocks ISPs that assign /64 or /56 blocks to their customers...
So on one hand, we have IPv6, which is there to provide plenty of IP addresses, and on the other, a service that refuses IPv6 because of it 🤦♂️

I bought a domain on Porkbun, use Linode as the DNS and Purelymail for mail.
Spamhaus has my domain blocked, and I have no idea how to get off the list. I tried reducing whois privacy on Porkbun. I contacted Spamhaus them twice.
Spamhaus won't give a reason, but mxtoolbox states Spamhaus says " Reason for listing - We were unable to find an IP Address for THE-DOMAIN." But what does that even mean? DNS A record? To where? Purelymail?
Any tips on how to get the domain unlisted?
