(Created page with "This is honestly an academic exercise because almost everyone uses Google's IMAP servers or other big ones, and anyone who doesn't are probably spammers. So, you have to try really, really hard and put a lot of settings up to not act like a spammer. A spammer can do these exact same things, too, which means you'll need to try really hard gain reputation and manually remove yourself from blacklists until you've put in so much effort that people have to assume you <em>aren...")

(Anecdote)
Spam is a big issue with email and it's "fixed" by blocking literally everything (Google's policy) if the IP isn't positively trustworthy. If it's slightly trustworthy, the email is simply sent directly to spam rather than being completely blocked.
 
To get around this (and you know an easy way, let me know, sjwhitak is my email, please and thank you), go to https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx and search your IP. For every list that has you blacklisted, you'll need to go to each of their websites and manually request that you be removed. Some times it takes weeks, some times only a few days (one list immediately took me off their list, which is a bit surprising to me and makes me not want to trust their spam list). This still does not guarantee you'll get past Google's email death wall, but you'll eventually be able to get past it. Internet searches for <code>Gmail 550-5.7.1</code> will show a lot of angry people at Google and their "improved" AI-system is blocking a lot of people.
 
If someone is more knowledgeable in this field, add to this. I'm not. I'm barely getting my email afloat and I can at least email disroot with this setup, but gmail outright fails completely, having a spammer use my IP 3 years ago.
