Hotmail has cleared the forum's new IP from their blacklist, so those with Hotmail / Live.com / etc. accounts should now start receiving e-mails from the forum. Also, thanks to assistance from Ragnor, the main TW domain's SPF record now covers the forum which should help prevent mail from the forum ending up incorrectly filtered into spam folders.
SpamCannibal also finally cleared us from their blacklist just now as I was writing this post, so any of the unwise people actually using it should be covered as well. Their blacklist lookup was persistently indicating we had no reverse DNS record for the new forum IP even though it's been correctly set for at least 2-3 weeks now. You'd think their lookup tool would actually check the reason for the blacklist entry to see if it's still valid rather than just regurgitating weeks-old cached data. Go figure.
The only remaining e-mail issue I'm aware of is delayed delivery to AOL addresses. I contacted AOL about that late last week as well. Even if it isn't directly taken care of based on my contact, then (as I understand it) it should be improved over time as their filters continually evaluate mail coming from the forum's IP address.
