To those of you who use GMail: some fraction of GMail's outgoing mail servers are currently listed on SORBS SPAM, which may mean that your outgoing mail is being routed to servers' spam buckets.

I know this is the case for 209.85.208.48 for certain from dealing with tech support at my provider; I suspect 209.85.208.51 is also from related evidence but no direct confirmation from someone who can hit SORBS databases themselves.

I don't know how to tell Google about this problem, so I'm sort of telling y'all in case you figure it out. I'll report it to them if I can figure out how without having to sit through tech support for Someone Else's Provider when I gotta cook dinner.

Being classified as Gmail spam has been a major factor of my life recently; thank you.

A source at the Goog says this is apparently an ongoing problem since the 3rd; a server cluster got put in SORBS then, got cleared the 7th, and then got reclassified there yesterday. (I happen to know that last happened between 2 and 2:30 Eastern, heh.)

He says this round of it should get sorted out in a couple of days but who knows if it's gonna become chronic.

My daytime GMail-based correspondent and I have had some luck starting new email threads, which are apparently largely going out through unaffected servers by sheer random luck.
