Yeah. I think there’s been a bit of a shift back to looking at your network space and surrounding IPs. It seemed the big mailbox providers got away from that a bit, but now I’m seeing more and more indications that your neighbors matter. > However, there is a perception that it's hard, so if Google can improve that > perception, it wouldn't harm them. If the perception is based on a false understanding of how things work, it’s nearly impossible to change that perception. Take this discussion. There are some people who have the perception that Google is acting unfairly and blocking their mail “for no good reason.” Commentary from experienced email people, folks who run small servers and comments by folks from Google is not changing that perception. laura -- Having an Email Crisis?
