Major internet service provider causing extensive business damages to our business due to their unreasonable and hidden service policies.
As a small UK business we run online international software with several users signing up to our service from GMail or from email powered by GSuite, the Google email service provided to run email on their server on behalf of your website/business.
GMail is a great service but as a business we have discovered that they have an internal classification on how handle SPAM that goes as far as rejecting emails. An example of their rejection bounce message response shows
<d**************o@gmail.com>: host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.142.26] said: 550-5.7.1 [xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Our system has detected that this message is 550-5.7.1 likely suspicious due to the very low reputation of the sending 550-5.7.1 domain. To best protect our users from spam, the message has been 550-5.7.1 blocked. Please visit 550 5.7.1 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/188131 for more information. m14si485512pgs.39 – gsmtp (in reply to end of DATA command)
We have now experienced this disservice since the 29th of January 2020 and all our emails are rejected. This is despite following all their guidelines and their suggestion.
The situation is so bad that Google/Gmail users send emails to us and despite their interaction we are still unable to reply back because Gmail blocks all emails.
Below are a few facts/comments on our experience with GMail/GSuite while trying to troubleshoot the problem:
