Nothing stopped here, I'm able to send/receive to my gmail account. I'm a bit confused though; is the blocking occuring at the network level or at the smtp level? From what you mention about a traceroute it sounds like a network level, which is definitely a bit odd. A few of the gmail mx records are very close to google.com a records, so the blocking must be affecting only the specific hosts or a very narrow range of ips on their side. -- Jordan Wiens, CISSP UF Network Security Engineer (352)392-2061 On Thu, 1 Jul 2004, Doug Sandford wrote:
We have discovered that the folks at Google are blocking (not returning!) our site from receiving mail to authorized g-mail accounts. We have tried sending to abuse () gmail com etc etc, but of course no one is getting the correspondence. Has anyone else out there had a similar situation and how did you resolve it? I suppose I could always resort to a Hotmail or Yahoo account to get my point across. Our internet provider indicates that trace routes reveal the mail is stopping at gmail. hmmmm.
