If its those pesky crap TLD’s just block the whole TLD. As you said the spammer 
is not sending from @gmail.com but from a own domain using gmail MX right?

 

My blocklist is:



/\.(accountant|accountants|asia|auto|berlin|bid|buzz|camera|car|cam|cars|casa|cfd|christmas|click|club|college|computer|country|cricket|cyou|date|design|download|exposed|email|fail|faith|finance|fit|fun|gdn|global|guru|help|host|jetzt|kim|icu|life|live|link|loan|london|media|men|mom|news|ninja|online|page|party|photography|pro|protection|pub|racing|realtor|reise|ren|rent|rest|review|rocks|science|security|shop|site|solutions|space|storage|store|stream|study|surf|tech|technology|theatre|today|top|trade|university|uno|us|viajes|vip|vividal|wang|webcam|website|win|work|works|world|xin|xyz|zip|xn--.*)$/

 

Feel free to use it.

Note: Its a TLD blocklist, so use it as a regexp, it will only match the end of 
string. Make sure to match it case insensitive.

 

Block both in MIME From and in MAIL FROM. Because what I understand, its not 
gmail domains sending to you, but spammers with their own domains using gmail 
infrastructure right?

Because you said ”Google Site Verification record”.

 

Best regards, Sebastian Nielsen

Ämne: [mailop] Gmail not accepting the spam they sent themselves

 

Hi folks,

today I noticed a spam wave sent through Gmail accounts - Gmail happily pushes 
the spam into our users inboxes, but some of our addresses are role accounts 
which forward to personal Gmail accounts.

So this is what we get when trying to forward such a piece:

421-4.7.28 Gmail has detected an unusual rate of mail originating from your DKIM
421-4.7.28 domain [gopa.pobretv.soy      36]. To protect our users from spam,
421-4.7.28 mail sent from your domain has been temporarily rate limited. For
421-4.7.28 more information, go to
421-4.7.28  https://support.google.com/mail/?p=UnsolicitedRateLimitError to
421 4.7.28 review our Bulk Email Senders Guidelines. 
4fb4d7f45d1cf-5ceac81993esi4035932a12.645 - gsmtp

And this is how this came to our system (redacted):

Nov  2 17:00:21 localhost postfix/smtpd[2112960]: 89DAE1202DF:

Nov  2 17:00:22 localhost postfix/qmgr[2947926]: 89DAE1202DF: removed

The sending domain has a Google site verification DNS entry and has its MX at 
Google, so they can't really claim that they have no relation to the spammer at 
all...

Looking back through the logs, I find matching incidents from more than a month 
ago, probably there were more earlier but we don't keep logs that long.

At least I now have a pattern to match against. Sadly blocking Gmail altogether 
isn't an option, though the amount of trouble they're causing would be good 
reason to do it.

Cheers,
Hans-Martin
