Important Changes when sending to t-mobile.de or domains hosted there

T-Mobile.de has implemented a very strict new email policy, which regulates if an email gateway can sent to them.

The way an email sender can check if they are affected is very easy. A new SMTP error like the following will show up in the mail or SMTP logs of your outbound gateways : 

554 IP=xx.xx.xx.xxx - Dialup/transient IP not allowed. Use a mailgateway or contact toda@rx.t-online.de if obsolete. (DIAL)

What must be done to be allowed to send email successfully to t-mobile.de or domains hosted by t-mobile.de ?

a) SPF - Your SPF domain (also called the Return-Path domain) must be example.com or a subdomain of example.com. 

b) DKIM - Your DKIM domain must be example.com or a subdomain of example.com. 

c) PTR - Your sending IP's rDNS must be example.com or a subdomain of example.com. 

And now the biggest constraint. You CAN NOT use shared IP addresses any longer to successfully deliver emails to t-online.de.

I don't know if I would call it strict, they just require email security to be set up on the senders side. With all the spoofing and such, not having security is just bad practice anyway.
