Question
Digial Ocean Servers IP blacklisted
Hi.
I have set up 2 droplets with Digital Ocean now and both have had IP addresses appear as blacklisted which has resulted in email not getting through to a clients email. I have raised ticket with Digital Ocean and on both occasions I have been informed I will need to generate another droplet
Both instances are Ubuntu 12.10 x64
Has anyone else experienced any issues with blacklisting like this. That is 2 consecutive IP addresses that have been blacklisted and I am wondering whether there is a vulnerability or some issue in the set up of the sever. The Digital Ocean prices and ease of use are a big pull for me but I am loathed to spin up another VPS and disrupt a clients website for the 3rd time in 2 weeks if I am going to experience the same issue. At the moment I am considering cancelling my account and switching to another provider such as bytemark.

Same here, a fresh droplet with a new IP is on the blacklist of t-online.de - I think the reason could be that the IP was belonging to another droplet in the past (1 droplet = 1 IP) and there was some heavy emailing going on. Or the other provided just blacklisted an entire range of IPs of Digital ocean.
