Same sad story as always. Gmail & alike surely did "improvements" on email treatment, but it seems that not all infos are publicly available.

If you see it the other way around: why should they provide detailed infos for spammers on howto setup their own mailserver.

I always wonder why there is not a "Central" Service for each mail provider, like https://postmaster.google.com where you can register your domain and see what is wrong with your mails ... maybe even do "spam protection" by simply adding "mails per second" that you think are appropiate for your service.

Hmm, thanks for reminding me about Postmaster. The last time I tried using it, I think I ran into the "not enough traffic for your domain, check back later before we allow you to do something useful" brick wall. I'll check it out when I get home, maybe things are better now.

I agree that would make no sense. Yet I'm sure the boundary between spammers and use cases like mine is not that ambiguous. I'm very certain that not a single spam email ever got sent out from my mailserver. Surely Google's tech is good enough not to sort that into the same bucket with a typical spammer.

Just checked and nope, still the same old brick wall, unfortunately.
