I don’t actually use my droplet as a mail server but at some point I was using and did registered my IP for periodic spam blacklist check. Couple of days ago, I have received UCEPROTECTL3 blacklisted warning. Tried to remove it. I’ve been warned that I was not allowed to remove my IP from their list. Because my IP wasn’t blacklisted but my IP range was.
At this point I don’t know even if this affects mail traffic or not. Didn’t even try. But I am planning turning my droplet to some sort of showcase in couple of months and I need every capability of this droplets can offer.
My questions would be: What should I expect from this blacklisting? Does anyone from this server having any issues regarding mail traffic? Is moving my droplet to another server a solution (since this may be a temporary occurrence)?

Just got the notification from monitoring service that it’s removed from the blacklist.
I would recommend contacting our support team. We work diligently to keep our IP ranges off of blacklists and they should be able to assist you with resolving this by identifying the IP in that range that is responsible and taking action.
I would recommend to use a service like mandrillapp or mailgun to take care of your emails, that would be a quicker and better solution.
