Perhaps the bit about DO's DNS caches? It was about my guess that their sending mailserver doesn't retry sending verification because it has remembered the bogus MX record which was on my domain (basi

no it does not. the dns resolving request doesn't have to do anything with your actual traffic to port 80 afterwards and your tracepath exactly proves it, there is no other IP involved then your serve

Luckily in my case I still have the domain, but I've long disabled receiving mail on it. Now have to re-enable it and wait for DO's DNS caches to expire(?), so they can resend their valuable fucking m

(which turned out to be not true either as it was for cPanel b/s, just DNS servers such as NSD require 20 MB of RAM, not 1GB.)
