I tried sending a mesasge to the list and got back a blocked IP reply with tracing of SPAM abuse. Hello? It's GMail, what's the SPAM issue all about?
Can we see the exact message you got?
Also, since you bring up the subject. I've been having issues with my mail server (self-inflicted). I'm looking to boost the spam destruction capabilities of my mail server. Seeing as how I recently discovered I'm getting slammed with 5000+ emails a day, 95% of which are thrown away at SMTP time. My server and client combination currently blocks about 98% of the spam. I'd like to bump that number up to 99.999% (hey it's a journey not a destination). I'm looking at greylisting, and also I added sa-exim to my system, but screwed up placement/context of the configuration lines and created a loop. So I've had to sdsiable my new feature which was working quite well, by blocking 100% of the spam and let through all except 1 of the emails that should have gone through. The one caused a loop in the system. So my question is does anyone use greylisting with debian and exim? I've found one sample configuration which I'm studying. But it's a bit overkill for my needs.
So, Jon send us more detailed information on your blocked ip message. I know others are using gmail on the list so it's got to be something else.
