I don't know why so many people on HN tell this story. Are the US IPs all total garbage?

I set up my mailserver, sent a testmail to Google, no spam or other stuff. I don't know if SPF or DKIM was even configured. (It now is of course)

Do you have a fixed or dynamic IP? When I tried sending email from my home network (which had a dynamic, if long-lasting IP), I discovered my ISP's addresses where on the PBL[1] and therefore getting rejected by many servers. This was in Europe, not the US.

SE Asia here and many IP blocks (/19) of my ISP are blacklisted, even blocks those are being used in datacenter in that bigger block.

I'm in the US and I don't get this story either. I've had my mail server running on 3 different IPs, in my home, and have had no issues at all.
