It's been over a month now, since Google became hostile to email lists.  I'm still dealing with the aftermath.

In the past couple of days, I'm seeing an uptick in rejects from Gmail as follows:

<[elided]@gmail.com>: host
    gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[2607:f8b0:4004:c17::1a] said: 550-5.7.1

    end of DATA command)

As far as I can tell, the message is compliant.  It doesn't have any of the obvious problems, at least.  From, To, Message-ID and Date are supplied.  No duplicate headers.

These are text/plain messages: commit mail from an svn repository.

I like to think I have a reasonably robust understanding of RFC 5322.  I'm sure I must be missing something very subtle.

Has anyone else seen (more of) these?

Thanks.

Philip
