Gmail addressed emails getting rejected

Post by JvanMaanen » Sun May 28, 2023 11:23 am

Don't know if this is happening to anyone else, but recently when sending to or replying to those with gmail addresses I get a response that my email was rejected. Sometimes resending works sometimes not. The rejection messege says something about going to google and adding some security stuff to my origin email (not gmail my own corporate domain) not sure what is going on, but thought those of you with gmail should know that messages are not getting to you.

I'd go to the devil before I went to Google.

Van,

This is really a Google problem IMV.

Most likely your domain isn't set up with SPF/DKIM in the DNS and Google is refusing to accept delivery because of this. It shouldn't be necessary really, but they like to throw their weight around, and unfortunately as a big kid on the block they can leave a few bloody noses...

If you're running your own server or otherwise need a hand to sort it out I'm happy to help via PM.

Luke.
