  Subject: Wildcat! Support on Email Mailing List using ESP accounts  
  Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------

  Folks,'  
    
  We have a problem with email subscriptions to our mailing list from  
  subscribers using large ESP junk alias accounts, such as gmail.com and  
  others but right now, gmail.com is the problem.  
    
  Yesterday, for no apparent reason, after just 2 support messages  
  between Terry and I, the next 3rd and 4th messages was now blocked for  
  all gmail.com subscriptions as unsolicited spam mail. It was not  
  accepted and moved to a spam box but instead, the transaction was flat  
  out rejected with a permanent 55x rejection code:  
    
  *550-5.7.1 [76.245.57.69 12] Our system has detected that this message is  
  550-5.7.1 likely unsolicited mail. To reduce the amount of spam sent  
  to Gmail,  
  550-5.7.1 this message has been blocked. Please visit  
  550-5.7.1 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=UnsolicitedMessageError  
  550 5.7.1 for more information. n68si1874381vsi.235 - gsmtp*  
    
  These immediate 55x rejections causes WCSMTP to add the gmail.com  
  address to the data\\badrcpt.txt which will make the address inactive  
  the next time WcListServer tries to distribute a new submission.  
    
  It took me more than fives hours to get this cleaned up, contacting  
  google and issuing a complaint.  
    
  We have over 104 gmail accounts subscription to the various SSI  
  mailing lists. The main problem is that one rejection cab cause a  
  rejection for all and then all the gmail.com subscribers will be  
  deactivated in the mailing list.  
    
  We can't have this. It is not fair to us and our customers. This has  
  nothing to do with dead accounts. Accounts that gmail says are not  
  longer active are ok to be rejected and deactivated. But is not want  
  happen. The problem is the 5.50 5.7.1 policy-based spam or unsolicited  
  mail rejections which causes for ALL gmail.com accounts.  
    
  So here is what I would like to ask:  
    
  I really prefer that you don't use large public ESP junk alias  
  accounts on our system. If you can change the subscription to a  
  private domain, please do so or don't use the mailiing list and  
  instead use the online support system. If you want, we can provide  
  you with a private winserver.com email account for POP3/SMTP.  
  Honestly, you shouldn't be using large public ESP junk email addresses  
  on commercial supports systems. If would like to continue using gmail  
  for our mailing list, simply because you have now made it your main  
  email account, then please make sure it is used correctly and please  
  white list all santronics.com and winserver.com domains so that any  
  mail that comes from is not considered spam or unsolicited mail.  
    
  But the bottom line is this:  
    
  If this continues to happen, and this message is a test to the  
  reactivated gmail.com accounts, I plan begin to have a policy to  
  disallow and restrict gmaill.com and any other large public ESP  
  accounts that begin to exhibit this practice of interfering with our  
  support and communications with customers with erroneous  
  spam/unsolicited mail detection. In fact, I already added a TO-DO  
  item for a future Wildcat! List Server feature to add subscription  
  controls by email domain.  
    
  We can't be going through this with our support process. We are not  
  really busy too!! Just imagine when we really get busy in the  
  mailing list. It's going to be a real problem with the gmail  
  subscriptions. I won't allow it to happen. I will block gmail.com  
  accounts from using our mailing list. I could just allow the  
  automatic deactivation. The problem is the announcements which is  
  very low frequency. If you use gmail there, we probably won't see  
  rejections there. But with the mailing list that get busy, an  
  deactivation there will stop announcements too. So its a mess and I  
  would just rather block gmail.com accounts from subscription to the  
  support mailing list.
