mail-tester is more than likely to verify your email address. A similar
thing happens to me if I try to email a google address. Google
automatically classes email from yandex as spam and will not forward it
to the intended recipient. There is nothing I can do about it except
perhaps to urge people not to use gmail. And of course that wont fly.

Best of luck.
