Google are no better.

I can't send email to gmail addresses -- well sometimes I can and sometimes I can't -- because Google (sometimes) says of my server:

  Our system has detected an unusual rate of
    550-5.7.1 unsolicited mail originating from your IP address. To protect our
    550-5.7.1 users from spam, mail sent from your IP address has been blocked.

This is complete bullshit. We have SPFs in DNS. We don't relay, and have had this independently tested.

We send tiny amounts (3 or 4 a week) of mainly personal email to gmail addresses.

Who do I contact to sort this? Who knows? Google has no point of contact.

So I'm happy for Google to have a taste of their own medicine. And my opinion of them is a rabid group of extreme anti-spammer teenagers.

Did you contact using the delivery form at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=m... and still get no response?

I doubt that Google is tasting this at all. Probably only the unlucky companies who use Spamhaus and now have the unenviable task of going through and making sure they missed no emails from customers or partners.

maybe you're on the same subnet as someone who actually spams them.
