Hetzner provides root servers for money like so many other similar
companies. Some folks use that to run their own mail servers for various
reasons.
Blaming the server provider is nonsense. I've never been in contact with
the Hetzner abuse handling. Maybe that could be improved.

As far as I can see it is Google who filtered the pull request as SPAM by
mistake.
I'd suggest that everybody who uses Google actively drop them. ;-)

But right, I'll open a ticket with Hetzner to ask what they do to shut down
SPAMers. Let's see what their FAQ link is.
