I've been using gmail for about six months, and it's not happened to
me. OTOH gmail publishes SPF records, so it would be unwise to use ISP
servers for their addresses.
I've had numerous complaints, my response is "tuff" i dont control gmail
users, gmail wishes to obscure the offenders real ip so i cnat even
contact the lamers ISP, so to hell woith it, the gmail mail will flow
again once the rbl in question releases it.
Yes, some ISPs deny connections to port 25, but that's why there's
'submission' service on port 587 where authentication should be
required so any problem with sending spam directly to recipients is
avoided.
This is popular in *some* countries, dont assume its a universal
thing, because it aint.
This doesn't make sense, when ISPs block outgoing port 25 you can use
port 587 or 465 to connect to the server of your choice, it doesn't
wrong again, this assumes the ISP enables submission, we dont, i've tested
a few very large isp's here and they dont either, so again do not assume.
