Mail from cpvlink.com never arrives

http://cpvlink.com/signup claims they're sending me my verification address but it never arrives, no matter which keyword and domain I use.
They do send it for me for non Spamgourmet addresses.

Does it work with Spamgourmet for anyone else?

their mail server isn't configured correctly - reverse lookup isn't set right:

2014-01-09 20:48:30 H=(srv2.cpv.com) [184.154.42.106] rejected MAIL <no_reply@cpvlink.com>: X-Host-Lookup-Failed: Reverse DNS lookup f

Ok, this case needs attention of its own. I got a "no other mail hosts causes us problems, so it's your problem" message...

Is there anyway you'll contact them yourself via contact AT cpvlink.com? I don't know what else to do.

We have a little underpowered box servicing over 6.5 million disposable email addresses spread over dozens of domains. Beyond the actual disposable addresses, the Rumpelstiltskin attacks add a tremendously larger number of non-addresses (each Rumpelstiltskin attack repeated for each of the domains).

Without outer defenses like the reverse lookup check culling hits from the vast bot armies, our box would go down almost instantaneously - have a look at the graveyard of former disposable address services that fell to the same hordes.

Also, I can say that when we move from one ISP to another, getting a new set of IP addresses, in the period between the move is complete and when the ISP sets up the proper PTR records, we get a *lot* of failures - this check is not uncommon at all.

Is there any chance you'll contact them then? I happen to be their only Spamgourmet client so they couldn't care less about any of this.
