Hey guys, I have to take the walk of shame and report a spam outbreak on my systems because of a phished user account and a loophole in the rate limiting we do.
As soon as we got notifed, we stopped and cleaned the queues, blocked the user, investigated the cause and fixed the rate limiting before restarting. Of course this put us on multiple blacklists and cleaning those up is the proper punishment I guess. Now two of our outgoing systems are still rated as poor on Talos. If we use them to send emails, those will get rejected by a lot of recipients (public sector). But if we don't use them to send emails, their reputation at Talos will not improve since support tells us "reputation improves as the ratio of legitimate mails increases with respect to the number of complaints". Do you guys have any hints on what is the proper way out of this circle?
