PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550-rejected because
64.233.184.225 is in a black list at dnsbl.sorbs.net 550 Spam Received Recently 
See: http://www.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml?64.233.184.225

well, its google, not gmail.

also, i'm aware sorbs can be a tad heavy handed so i'm thinking i shouldnt 
block based on them alone, but rather add the [SPAM] header then let my users 
filter it to a sub-foldr automatically
and they can decide what to do with it. some of them, believe it or not, 
actually want to receive all such messages.

i'll look into it. thanks again.
