I am a professor at UQAM, one of four universities in Montréal, Québec. I set up a website with a CMS called ghost. It is used by about 100 students and staff for academic purposes (publishing in two journalism classes). Students cannot be invited to join the site by email. My university blocks the emails sent by the CMS, because it is hosted by DO on a droplet whose IP is blacklisted by UCEPROTECT-Level3. I have done nothing wrong. But I pay and cannot benefit from the full hosting service as promoted. I am sorry to say I will terminate my account with DO at the end of the current semester (Dec '21).
