Hi David, +1 from my side. I had very long discussions about just the same issue two years ago with google, and all they said is, that they have different blocks of google IP-adresses where they route the outgooing good, and the outgoing bad mails. And of course they hide the originating IP.
Unfortunatly their routing was and still is bad, so only blocking both IP-ranges helps. A very very bad design. Thats also a reason why we (I'm one of the admins there) set google.com at @dnswl.org to level NONE. http://www.dnswl.org/search.pl?s=google.com. You can skip graylisting for them, but not any spam checks. IMHO we have to do something against this. Since they record the google account in the mails, how about a dns block list of abused google accounts ;-) ? Just another blacklist, but one which would be effective ... -- Martin >Hello, > >Roaring Penguin software no longer accepts mail from gmail.com addresses; >our reasoning is here: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/whynogmail > >I see 46 gmail.com users subscribed to MIMEDefang.
