Uberspace is a hosting platform targeted at people who want to look behind the scenes, do things we didn’t anticipate and generally prefer working with a text-based console. Our objective is to not only host the content you’d like to see on the web, but also to introduce you to Linux and basic shell usage.

Changelog

Latest Version: 7.17.3 (2026-04-28)

We gave our spam filter a massive update to fend off spam even more reliably while ensuring legitimate emails pass through smoothly:

Added

  • The spam filter now uses an intelligent reputation system. It tracks the historical behavior of IP addresses and domains (if validated via SPF/DKIM). Reliable senders build a good reputation over time and pass through the filter more easily, while suspicious senders automatically lose trust.

  • We are now using the allowlists from dnswl.org. Senders known for exclusively sending legitimate mail receive a bonus. This noticeably reduces so-called “false positives” (legitimate emails incorrectly marked as spam).

Changed

  • We optimized, reactivated, or re-weighted the integration of various renowned blocklists (RBLs) - including Spamhaus, SpamCop, and Spameatingmonkey. We also made some under-the-hood DNS adjustments to ensure these lists are queried even more reliably.

  • Our own internal mailgates are now exempt from greylisting. This ensures faster, delay-free delivery for internal forwards.

  • We massively expanded our internal tools. As a team, we can now react much more granularly and quickly in the background to acute spam waves and maintain our own targeted filter rules.

Note

Sometimes the version shown on your host may be higher than the newest version here. In this case we might have applied additional fixes shortly after a release or did internal changes without user impact. We deem updates like these hotfixes and they are not necessarily included in this changelog.
