Thanks for making this useful tool :)
When I run it from my local computer, for some emails I get SmtpError IpBlacklisted, e.g.:

  "smtp": {
    "error": {
      "type": "SmtpError",
      "message": "permanent: zen.mimecast.org https://www.spamhaus.org/query/ip/77.85.116.89. - https://community.mimecast.com/docs/DOC-1369#550 [UioxhvvdMDyD8YY9lHrBjQ.us77]"
    },
    "description": "IpBlacklisted"
  },

But that IP (77.85.116.89) is not my IP.
So I'm wondering what this means? (The is_reachable field is "unknown" in that case, so it seems I'm blacklisted even though this is not my IP.)
Why does this happen?

The IP is the incoming request's IP that the destination server sees. Are you using a proxy? Are you being a VPN?

@amaury1729 No, I'm not using a proxy or VPN, I'm running it from my laptop at home. Any idea why my residential IP is blacklisted? :)

In general, ISPs block outgoing port 25, so I don't recommend verifying emails using residential IPs. That IP might belong to your ISP?

In any case, I would recommend running it with a fixed server IP, so that you have some control over its reputation. In your case, if you'd like to deep digger, you can paste the logs after running RUST_LOG=debug, I can maybe try to help.
