Mails to Google being blocked for illegal attachments

Hello, Since Sep 7 Google has bounced a specific type of our mails with this message: host aspmx.l.google.com[74.125.43.27] said: 552-5.7.0 Our system detected an illegal attachment on your message. Please 552-5.7.0 visit http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6590 to 552 5.7.0 review our attachment guidelines. z4si211085bkd.116 (in reply to end of DATA command) The only attachment is a gif image so it seems that Googles check is wrong. Has anyone experienced this issue, or has any helpful contact information to Google? I have checked http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/static.py?page=contacting_support.ht ml and called these numbers, but they were not able to help me. Regards, Jörgen Nilsson

Hi, Have you reported it through their support pages? The one you're after is probably: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=gtag_headers&group=bugflow_attachmentsnewbug&trouble_type=attachments Generally, checking https://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs is the first place to go with GMail issues if you're not an Apps customer; they have a link to reporting problems at the bottom. Though if you're not an Apps customer (or can't find one to report the issue on your behalf as not receiving e-mails from you), I wouldn't hold out too much hope for a response from it. Do let us know how you solve the problem in the end. Alex

Hi, Thank you for reply. I have reported it there yesterday. No response yet. I also tried to send the same mail without the attached gif image, so it seems to be something else that triggers the error message. /Jörgen

So, to be clear, sending the message without the image attachment also bounced?
