    Hi, any news regarding the SpamHaus issue? My Cloudron server refuses messages from trustworthy addresses, and it really complicates my work. Thank you.

      We really need some more insights about this issue since reproduction is very hard to impossible.

          @p44 Removing the entry there only stops IP addresses of incoming mail from being checked against the blocklist. It does not affect the email configuration checks, and there is apparrently no way to override this at the moment.

                  I just noticed that my Cloudron instance is experiencing similar symptoms: my Email status settings says that my IP is blocked by SpamHaus Zen, but when I put my IP into SpamHaus Zen's checker it comes up clean.

                  It's a bit unclear at the moment if there is a resolution to this or not?

                          After several years running Cloudron, this issue made me shut down my server and find another hosting for my needs. I have had several issues in the past, and the support team was always willing to help, and I am very thankful for that. But this Spamhaus problem affected my private and business communication for several weeks with no foreseeable solution. I believe that I will use Cloudron for some less critical applications in the future.

                            @neki If you are experiencing problems with inbound mail being rejected, have you tried just removing Spamhaus from the list of DNSBL checks?

                              And just when I started to be less worried, this SpamHaus issue popping up and being such a blocker is quite concerning 🤔

                                @ccfu No, I haven't tried removing Spamhaus from the list of DNSBL checks. However, I don't think it would help in my case. My IP address wasn't listed in Spamhaus, and the issue seemed to be related to a misconfiguration warning in Cloudron, even though everything was set up correctly. So I doubt that disabling Spamhaus would have made a difference.

                                  @SansGuidon James (@james) asked for more info from people having this issue so he can help, but I was the only one who responded. Not sure why ... maybe it affects only a few users and they do not use their email servers for important stuff, I don't really know. To me, it was a nightmare knowing that some messages for me were not delivered (not even to the spam folder).

                                    @neki The misconfiguration warning is for your IP and has no relevance for incoming mails. That warning is being shown because Spamhaus is not reponding correctly to the request from Cloudron and Cloudron is incorrectly interpreting that as your IP being blocklisted. It is nothing more than a display error though and should be fixed in the next release.

                                    If you are seeing incoming mails rejected due to Spamhaus listing then this is due to the DNSBL checking. The error may well be with Cloudron and how Spamhaus reports are interpreted, but that will be resolved if you deactivate the checks.

                                    @SansGuidon Had you removed Spamhaus from the DNSBL checks? I think the issue is (at least partly) to do with changes in the way Spamhaus processes queries (I noticed a lot of errors in the logs before deactivating Spamhaus altogether) and the way Cloudron interprets the results when errors are thrown.

                                    I have two Cloudron servers, both running version 8.3.2, but one on Ubuntu 22.04, the other on Ubuntu 24.04. Interestingly, the server running on 24.04 does not show the (false) email configuration error, but the one on 22.04. regularly does. As already mentioned, however, that is just an icorrect message and has no affect at all on deliverability as that will depend only on the receiving mailserver.
