HN email not forwarding
It's quite possible Synacor is back on any one of the SBLs and whoever they are being forwarded to are rejected then as spam.
With the sheer amount of spam being generated from Chinese malware, and email addresses being used off the dark web to generate phishing emails, I'm quite sure the SBLs have been pretty busy...
Edit: Just did a quick test and 129.213.180.114 (email.hughes.net) is listed on dnsbl-3.uceprotect.net.
That said, dnsbl3 doesn't flag the actual IP or even the IP block (129.213.176.0/20) as suspect, but the entire autonomous system number (ASN) that the IP block falls under. In this case it belongs to Oracle (ASN 31898). I assume they are providing the cloud services that the email provider uses.
I can name other ASNs that are known for much more consistent spamming than Oracle, but that's just my opinion.
Somehow my IP being tagged as spam seemed to be part of the problem, according to Remy. Apparently that was resolved, but the problem persists. As problems go, it's not a huge deal, just slightly annoying.
maratsade,
We appreciate your patience, as our team is still looking into this. Are you still experiencing forwarding issues? Our team is trying to eliminate options that may be causing this.
Thanks,

That's great to hear! I was notified this morning that some changes were made that should make this a permanent fix. Please let us know if the issue returns! Your cooperation has been greatly appreciated.
