I read everyone’s install guide(s) (THANK YOU ALL), got green lights on all the DNS and email config, the registration email is arriving at SparkPost … but every one that SparkPost receives is bounced with a 550 error and very strange: 550 5.6.0 JSON parsing error in X-MSYS-API: continue at offset …

Holy crap, that thread’s still warm, I can still see steam coming off it. Thanks Matt, I’ll stay tuned!

Try redownloading and rebuilding the app. The bug is fixed (tested it mh’self; it works).

Well that sure fixed everything… now at least I know I’m being blocked by spamhaus. Oh that’s so much better. 553 5.3.0 54.244.48.140 Rejected - see http://www.spamhaus.org Something about blah blah sparkpostmail blah blah amazon.com blah blah being slapped with an SBL Advisory. I guess that’s t…

You should try SendGrid, Mailgun or Mailjet :wink: I’ve seen multiple reports about mails sent by SparkPost being marked as spam because their IP address was blacklisted… If I see one more, I’ll remove them from our blessed list .

This happens on all free mail providers. It depends what kind of “neighbors” you get on your IP address, since they all use shared IPs.

For example,if you want a clean IP address, mail gun charges $59/month.

I guess what I’m having trouble wrapping my head around is that I can run my entire forum on server for $10/mo, Netflix can stream a billion giga billion bytes a day for $8/mo, but email – which is what, SMS texting without a phone – could cost between $50 - $150 per month AND everyone seems totally…

We can control Our mail provider… the one we run works just fine Our recommendation of mail providers, sendgrid, mailgun and mailjet We can not control General email deliverability on the Internet So… I am not sure exactly how to respond here @WhatNo

He is lamenting to those with the same frustrations, willing to sympathize. And Discourse provides the perfect avenue for replying to lamenting: :heart:ing it if one agrees to the expressed lament.
