Delivering to Earthlink

Earthlink handles mail for the earthlink.net, mindspring.com and peoplepc.com domains. They were one of the primary dialup ISPs in the early days of the Internet. They have since fallen behind other ISPs. They have partnered with a number of cable and broadband providers as well to provide email services for those customers. Earthlink does not publish either connection or sending limits.

Important links and references

Postmaster pages

Earthlink does not provide a postmaster website.

Feedback loop

Earthlink does provide a feedbackloop, but only for ISPs. Signup is through email only, and I am looking for the correct address^[1].

Whitelist

Earthlink does not provide a whitelist for senders.

Certification Services

Earthlink uses the Return Path Certified whitelist in mail delivery decisions. Mail from IPs on the Return Path Certified list will see better delivery at Earthlink domains.

Support for Senders

Earthlink does not provide much support for senders. If you are blocked by Earthlink, there is a webform to request unblocking.

Known spamfilters

Earthlink was an early adopter of Brightmail filters. They also run an extensive internal blocklist.
