Now that people have told me that #Whalebone is the company behind #DNS4EU and not just some random scam suddenly sending me mail that they've created an account for me I've never asked for, I've checked the status about my false positive reports. Both have gotten an automated response that I'm going to get an answer in 24 hours.
While the second one could be explained by holiday period, the first one is waiting since November 10th. This whole thing is a huge mistake.

So I was pretty enthusiastic about #DNS4EU at first.
Then I've discovered it blocklisted some random pastebin. Well, it happens. I mean, pastebins frequently get into trouble because of people pasting random shit. So I've filed an unblock request. I've suddenly got a mail to confirm registration in some random company's system — I suspect it was related to DNS4EU, but no clear indication. I've ignored it.
Then they've blocklisted my mail provider, for no apparent reason. It's still blocked. I've switched to the "unfiltered" version to be able to access my mail again.
Today I've gotten a mail via my backup MX. My main MX is up. My educated guess is that sysadmins using DNS4EU now get my mail redirected to their "site blocked" server. Isn't that great?
PS. Maybe if more people filed unblock requests for "poczta.ftdl.pl", it would help. It's a non-profit e-mail provider.
