Beneter and I have been working this in a PM. It's not quite solved yet, since the log for their rejecting his test email results in a generic admin reject, with a link in the rejection message linking to a generic rejection FAQ. At any given time the mail queue is about 1/3rd for gmx.de alone, about 400 emails (edit) 2/3 grepping for gmx. Not aware of what other United Internet Domains could be. He also showed me this weekend that the spamgourmet's DNS config is incomplete. I was able to add some entries for gourmet8 concerning A and MX, but with the current design of spamgourmet we cannot satisfy DKIM and thus DMARC (largely since the subject line of the e-mail is appended to include the spamgourmet word and the amount used vs number of total forwards), so I sincerely hope that United Internet has not gone to requiring DKIM or DMARC,
With that said, Beneter says he was able to send a test email that went right through (edit, he has since withdrawn this comment), but I am unable to ~flush~ (edit) force the mail queue and it's grown since last night. So until United tells us what policy a gourmet mail is violating, there's not anything we can know for sure .
However there is some hope for spamgourmet in spite of United Internet.
Last weekend I discovered a feature this weekend called AlternativeDeliveryAddress which associates a User with a set of Alternative Recipient Addresses, which by itself does not forward anything, but then allows you to associate a given spamgourmet address with specified alternative recipients. (It looks like the separation exists so that confirmation emails can be sent out).
Looking at the rows it looks like my dad created it so my mom could receive some utilities emails on her email account through spamgourmet, and I've added myself to a few that are used to run spamgourmet, looks like spameater is using it and the datatables exist, just does not seem to be mapped out a web configuration and API.
SysKoll and I are going to spend some time this week getting a web interface going for it, but if you have anything urgent, let us know through PMs.
I saw one of you here trying to move off of spamgourmet and have a few accounts with lost confirmation emails. I think this may work for you in the short term.
It looks like there are over 10,000 of you United Internet subscribers so please don't all pile up at once. we have finite Inboxes here.
