I'd do what it says and use a different email service.

This post from Kano explains it.

I'd suggest gmail is the easiest to get a free email account.

The problem is that all those 3 (hotmail/outlook/live) are owned and run my microsoft.
microsoft uses low quality blacklists to block spam.

There are email blacklists that ban subnets of the internet
They ban a subnet that contains a spam source, rather than just the server sending out spam
i.e. "you were in the vicinity of the perpetrator so we shot you also"
Once a subnet is put on these blacklists, only the company further up the chain that manages the subnet can request removal, not anyone who has a server within the subnet
Basically this targets small server providers

I will, however, say that yahoo is worse
They have no way to request removal from a blacklist ever.
They are the only one I know of like that.

I've been running email servers for 20 years or more, and dealing with these sort of problems has been getting worse
My current solution is to use AWS since they appear to manage the issue themselves also
(they have an option to specifically request that you are using an instance for email)

[aarons6]

i also suggest gmail, but because they have 2fa authentication..
with bitcoin and all its spam/phishing it gets its best to have 2fa on everything related to it.

CKDB restart coming up in about 1.5 hours
It should be about 03:15 UTC - the shift summarisation after 03:00 UTC
This should finally fix the sequence issue I've been having so I can get back to other changes needed.
If we get a block before then - one can always hope - it will affect when I do the CKDB restart and I'll post the change.

No miners will be affected.
Web site/api will just show lotsa '?' for about 10 minutes

I'll post again before then if the timing changes a lot.
See my next post

I've been running an e-mail service here on Kaua'i Island for several years, with the same comments. While I have a dedicated IP that should be clean, occasionally I'll run into a CBL or other block that's based on 2 or 3 year-old data (ie., old "bad" IP) and I have to joust their list.

I left the house tonight and didn't watch my rentals closely.  While I was gone they shot up to and sustained 75TH for hours (and even had a 95TH blip)!  Oops!  Given recent history, I didn't expect both WH and NH to dip into the 0.0028 area at the same time.  (I keep enough orders posted so that I can average 36TH with just WH or just NH when only one is feasible; I usually drop the price on half of the orders when both are alive simultaneously).

Please, please, please hit 6 or more fast blocks within the 5n now so that my mistake turns out to be a lucky one!  

I've had nothing but the bad end of luck since I started this rental experiment and could use some good news.  Changing methods to smooth out my average and keep things alive has helped with the variance, but I'm still down a lot.  This takes way too much babysitting too-- I'm writing a bot to handle the order manipulation for me (using my rules) when I'm away/asleep, but that will not be done for a few days.  

I never though I would say this, but I really long for the days when the N range was almost a week long instead of just a little over a day!  Back then a blip in on/off variance was a lot easier to manage.  Of course, it also came with the pain of Red October, so maybe not...

Have you looked into the nicehash bot?

https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashBot/

JUNK and poorly written crap from Nicehash.

I never said it was any good   I just figured I'd point it out!

Heh well we got a block before restart
Since it was JUST before the hour (02:57 UTC) I'll have to wait until the shift summary after 04:00 UTC

So the above restart will be at about 04:15 UTC now - in about an hour
A bit later - see below.

[citronick]

2 quick blocks - its good to be in Kano!

postnotes: kano ... she dont want to get restarted....

[kano]

Heh yeah
That last block means it will be around 4:30 UTC

Restart completed and all seemed to be working ok - but a few minutes later the sequence code again lost some sequence numbers.
Seems each change I've moved the problem to later in the the processing, by fixing the earlier problem.
Well, it's now at the last step - after the reload completes and lots of output to say why - so ... sigh - next restart - in a few days - will hopefully be the fix for the last part of the restart.
The 2nd restart will complete in the next ~5-7 minutes.

Edit: heh - funny I just worked out what the problem was - there is no problem - and a block appeared - nice!
Due to the new threading data can get out of order regularly - which is ok - but the sequence code reports it every time.
Have to change that message to not be on the console.
The sequence code also reports if it actually lost a record - which is what matters - but getting anything out of order isn't a problem.
OK will be easy to fix a bit later then will go for another restart later tonight in about 5 or 6 hours.

[Jake36]

And a block off the restart 

[dmwardjr]

I'm fine with a restart after every block.   

[kano]

2 blocks since then

[clgrissom3]

This is two days in a row I woke up to at least 4 new blocks...I can get used to this!  The night crew is rocking it!  Or are you the day crew and I'm part of the night crew?  

Edit:  Meatwad with 33THs gets on the Acclaim Board with his first kano block!  Love it!

[yslyung]

RESTART ! PLEASE . . .

[tlhIlwI]

I sure am happy this morning!  I woke up with my rentals at a small profit.  My accidental mistake shifts where I over-rented were paid very well.  I had over 100TH in one of those shifts that were rewarded 9 times.  Variance finally went my way!  

I'm almost done with my rental bot which will hopefully make this easier.  Everything is complete except for the lines which submit the order changes-- those are commented out and I'm manually making the changes it recommends until I'm confident that it isn't going to do anything crazy.  I'm aiming for 72TH continuous rental (61T-84T acceptable range) that is allowed to deviate out of the target range for 45 minutes before the bot takes corrective action (so as to ignore the flash transients that happen from time to time).

[thedreamer]

RESTART ! PLEASE . . .

My young padawan.... LOL.... *I used to keep asking for restarts which gave us blocks before.. LOL*
