But spam is mostly from GMail nowadays. In the last seven days, 8 out of 10 spam mails I received (that didn’t get rejected outright) came from GMail.

- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoIs it from GMail servers, or is it from spoofed GMail accounts?
- tedunangst 3y agoFrom mail.google.com servers, dkim signed and all.
- fuzzy2 3y agoNo, it's actually truly sent using GMail. Otherwise, it could not benefit from GMail's reputation.
- nanidin 3y agoI use some publicly available spam IP blocklists and my server started rejecting mail from gmail.com because they ended up on one of the lists for sending spam. I thought it was funny. When this happens, gmail informs the sender that the mail wasn’t delivered and they try a few more times before telling the user that no more attempts will be made.
- account42 3y ago> When this happens, gmail informs the sender that the mail wasn’t delivered and they try a few more times before telling the user that no more attempts will be made. That depends entirely on how the receiving server rejects the mail. If it just drops it into the spam folder or /dev/null Gmail won't be able to know. If it responds with a non-transient error code then Gmail will (correctly) NOT try again and inform the user of that.
