I’ll throw my signature on something like this too, as a former DNSbl operator. Just keep me in the loop. It’s nice to see the community working together to deal with incidents as a single voice. Shows that we still all have common goals even if we don’t always see eye to eye on everything.

Re: [mailop] GMAIL marking random emails as spam and rejecting.

I've seen a sharp increase in this recently. I can't recall how long ago it was, but there was a moment in time where Gmail had listed bit[.]ly as dangerous for whatever reason, and people saw a lot of emails rejected because they had shortened links using the bit[.]ly service in their

This one fell off of my radar. I did a search and found my logs to be littered with it as well. I only hope the student finds and clicks the comment I left on the commit: https://github.com/mxroute/rspamd_rules/commit/18f7dfc1801e06fee7adef33df6347e428b22576 On 2021-12-15 18:07, yuv via

Re: [mailop] GMAIL marking random emails as spam and rejecting.

Hey All, so been working on the mail server trying to find anything that would tell me why emails are being rejected. I did not have SPF records on my domains. I added SPF records and seems to fix it. Or maybe Google found out that emails are being bounced and fixed on their end. Please

This is why I cringe everytime I see a provider asking you to "send an email to x...@yyy.com to get delisted." x...@yyy.com is going to get flooded with spam also. Whoever is on the receiving end of that email address isn't going to know what's legitimate and what's not legitimate. It's so much
