A message being blocked because your email triggered
an ISPs spam filter
is not the same as the government "randomly blocking mails".
Most likely your provider is trigger-happy at mislabeling legitimate
messages as spam.
If you think that a link was the thing that triggered the filter, you
can break it up in the way that web sites used to break up email
addresses to stop spammers from harvesting them:
# skip the protocol part, like http colon slash slash
www DOT google DOT com
Are you referring to Hunter's email here?
https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@trinitydeskt…
That contains a URL at abramov DOT org which is blacklisted by
UCEPROTECTL3:
************************
It also contains another URL at
mocah.org which is not currently
blacklisted.
UCEPROTECT seems to have a very bad reputation as an overzealous RBL
that blocks entire subdomains or domains, allegedly fakes attacks in
order to justify those blocks, and accepts money for "express
delisting".
--------------------
So it seems to me that your mail provider is passing the buck and saying
"Government censorship!!!" when what actually happened is that they
delegated their spam filtering to some garbage commercial filtering
system such as UCEPROTECT or similar.
But maybe that's just me being cynical.
You are not cynical, that's exactly what it looks like. The problem from the customer
perspective: the mail provider lies and I cannot do anything about it. This is no
different than goverment censorship, as this practice is covered by the goverment (at
least here in Austria). The other problem is gmx silently deleting mails - interesingly
the very same mails that did not get delivered by Magenta.
