Occasional multi-minute internal delays still are possible at GMail.

That seems to be a thing of the past, thankfully. Yeah, not so much. Unless by 'past' you mean 'no apparent cases in 2022 yet.' It's absolutely not as bad as it was a few years back, but it was still happening in 2021. They seem to have reduced that problem at the expense of the dreaded S3150 rejections that point a finger at client IPs that have never handled any spam, aren't a problem according to SNDS, and have no discernible oddities. I have made architecture changes and disappointed customers (aggregating a mess of low-volume sending domains through one IP egress instead of spending IPs to satisfy customer vanity in rDNS) to work around MS rejection chaos. -- Bill Cole [email protected] or [email protected] (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
