I'd check the bounce/reply spool, which I am sure Jay does, but that's the kind of thing to look at. It's impossible to please every server and how it handles the greylisting type stuff, and dance the fine line to not look like spam. Gmail is not forgiving of such things, and thus the extra bounces to verify that the message is legit. It would almost be necessary to set up an SMTP smart spool to handle gmail if you wanted zero bounces, not really worth it. This is simply the case of an older mailer program hitting up against the gmail Bournemouth, you have to play by their rules. b
