I understand your annoyance at the reprimand by Deutsche Telekom, since you have apparently never had any problems with email communication.
It is not my place to give your company any advice on this, but since I am also concerned about this, I would at least like to express my private opinion.
Every website should have a clearly visible imprint to show the visitor who the owner of the website is.
An imprint also contains a summons address of the owner of a website so that legal claims can be enforced against him in court.
For service providers in Germany, the obligation to comply with the so-called imprint obligation arises from Section 5 TMG (Telemedia Act) and Section 55 RStV (Interstate Broadcasting Agreement).
The necessary content of an imprint can be found in the relevant regulations.
For providers from other EU member states, the imprint obligation under German law does not apply, only the corresponding regulations from the country of residence of the service provider!
An appropriate domain name and a static internet address in almost all countries are required to operate an e-mail server.
All necessary contact information should be included in the DNS record. In my opinion, it is not absolutely necessary to operate a website under the domain name used.
Deutsche Telekom may be confused that your company is registered in Cyprus (EU) but the email server is operated in the United States.
The given Internet address https://www.t-online.de/ is not the website of the service provider Deutsche Telekom, it is https://www.telekom.de/.
Deutsche Telekom AG in its current form emerged on January 2, 1995 from the former Deutsche Bundespost TELEKOM.
It is the holding company of Europe's largest telecommunications company with headquarters in Bonn.
Since German reunification took place on October 3, 1990, the bureaucracy mentioned in Deutsche Telekom is certainly not a purely East German problem.
So if you want to boycott Deutsche Telekom in the future, I will have to enter a different email address in my contact information.
Regards
Juergen
