I can’t speak for Google, but a few accounts I have with them were getting hit 
pretty hard with DKIM replay attacks recently.  Not sure how isolated these 
were, but if they were widespread I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the result 
of a reaction to those attacks.

Regards,
Brian

Hi Zube,

I've also noticed an issue similar to this. Some abuse reports we get go 
through a Google Apps domain. I've noticed receiving an initial abuse@ sample 
through google apps works just fine and the message is delivered. However, if I 
reply to that email, or if I forward it along, Google gives me a bounce back 
message stating they can't send the message b/c it's spam. Only if I remove the 
previous content entirely can I reply to these emails. This does not seem to 
effect the initial messages delivery, only when I reply/forward the email will 
Google Apps let me know the message cannot be delivered.

Unsure if this is exactly related to what you are bringing up, though it sounds 
similar and it's a change I've noticed in the last 2-3 weeks.

Starting this weekend, mail sent from a google apps domain to a user
on my server who has her email forwarded to a google.com<http://google.com/> 
address has
the email deferred forever with a possibly spurious message:

**
relay=alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com<http://alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com/>. 
[64.233.186.27], dsn=4.0.0,
stat=Deferred: 421-4.7.0 [129.82.129.115      15] Our system has
detected an unusual rate of
**

I've seen the rate-limiting message before when spam has gotten
through, but it was always temporary and in this case, it is
almost certainly not related to spam.

Consider an unused account on the google apps domain (blah) and
a newly created alias on my server (pm) that forwards to a testing
account at google that receives essentially no mail.  blah mails to
pm, my server accepts it and tries to send it along to the testing
account, but google instantly gives the above rate-limiting message
and the mail stays in the queue forever.

This problem is almost certainly not a problem with blah since
it's never used.  It can't be with the pm alias because it hadn't
existed before.  It can't be with my mail server in general because
gmail is still accepting mail from it; from a local account, I can
send without issue.  The cruncher is that if I send to pm from
a @gmail.com<http://gmail.com/> account rather than a google apps domain 
account,
everything gets forwarded just fine.

I've come to understand that email forwarding is going away and I
should start preparing people for it.  But the odd error message and
that fact that it still works from gmail.com<http://gmail.com/> addresses has 
me more
than a little perplexed.

Did something recently change with google and accepting mail from
their apps domains?

Any clues greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Zube
