Bill I ran into this same issue some time ago. I had to move my mail off of Gmail for the same reason. In my case it was on a shared box with people who were not forwarding to Gmail and was causing issues for them sending to Gmail. Gmail really needs a "this server is forwarding email to me" setting. Cheers, GTG

Howdy,
Any gmail admins out there? I forward email addressed to me to a gmail account. Overnight you started returning:
DATA <<< 550 5.7.1 [IR] Our system has detected an excessively high number of invalid recipients originating from your account. Contact your service
----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to gmail-smtp- in.l.google.com.: provider for sup port 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable
There were not temporary failures, you jumped straight to permanent failures. Emails were about 90% to my own gmail account, a total of about 80 over 12 hours.
Fix your damn algorithm.
And of course I have to complain publicly because you don't accept trouble reports privately, instead sending people into useless dead-end automated help systems.
Thanks, Bill Herrin
