Xmail does not do any 'callback' to verify sender email ... (The only way to do this is from a filter. And in any cases currently xmail first possible filter execution is AFTER 'RCPT TO' smtp command, not just after HELO/EHLO command. The only internal filtering in xmail is on ip address at connection from spammers.tab, ipprop.tab, ... files)
The Google/Gmail staff response seems to be unapproriate for the present problem :( Did you do some network analysis on both sides of your firewall to see if gmail servers really try to connect to you and where in the process of the connection it ends exactly ?

Please contact the recipient's webmail provider and ask them to whitelist Gmail from callback verification. Callback verification is a technique used by SMTP software that attempts to open a new connection to any server that it doesn't recognize with a blank message. Because these attempts to verify sending addresses can happen very frequently, traffic may appear as a Denail of Service attack, which will prompt Gmail servers to block these messages. Gmail does not support sender verification, and suggests that other webmail providers adopt SPF or DomainKeys instead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- What the heck do they mean by this? Xmail doesn't support callback verification, does it?
