Gmail suddenly blocking server notifications
Howdy,
Two days ago, gmail started blocking delivery of normal server notifications. Other email from our IP is delivering to gmail fine. Here is an example:
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hello, I'd suggest to: 1. check if server.myserver.com has a strict ("-all") SPF record and the SPF record includes the IP address of your mail server: Reverse IP Lookup - MxToolbox 5. check the IP address of the mail server against DNS based email blacklists: Email Blacklist Check - IP Blacklist Check - See if your server is blacklisted 0 -
Those are some good suggestions from @Avensen and @quietFinn. I did some testing on my end and couldn't reproduce this when sending a server notification to Gmail, so if you continue to run into problems we may need access to the actual machine experiencing the bounce. 0 -
Thank you @Avensen and @quietFinn I appreciate your replies. I have done all those things, but still no joy. I think I'm going to stop the system from sending to gmail for a while and try again at a later date. 0 -

Have you checked your spam folder. In gmail. It has happened before to me long time ago. Everything is setup ok in cPanel. And I had about 40 in spam. While there I marked them as safe. All of them and it started working again. 0 -
Thank you, @Spirogg yes, I checked the spam folder. But these were bounced messages. They were refused by gmail. 0 -

just a thought, can you try to whitelist in Gmail account the email from where Cpanel send the alerts? if you white list it then it may allow it to go through.. I think there might be an option in gmail settings ? worth a try0 -
try this: go to gmail account on your desktop, then click on the settings cog top right, then select show all settings then on the 5th tab on top it says ( filters and blocked addresses) see if your cPanel email address is showing here. it should show you a list of emails that are marked as spam and to the right it will say unblock. if your cPanel addresses is there you can unblock it. PS sorry I just checked gmail there is no whitelist.. so maybe your email might be in the filters and blocked addresses ?? sorry just trying to help :) 0 -
Thank you @Spirogg . I already had the necessary addresses in my contacts and unblocked. As I said, the messages were being refused by gmail. They weren't even getting the chance to be filtered to spam. 0 -

Yes. Unfortunately. Wish I could find a solution for you. Please update here if you do. Have a great day. Kind regards SPIRO0 -
@kgs there is this setting in Exim Configuration tweak settings, not sure if you want to give this a try and see if this might solve your issue with gmail. maybe not but just a try Enable Sender Rewriting Scheme (SRS) Support [?] This option rewrites sender addresses so that the email appears to come from the forwarding mail server. This allows forwarded email to pass an SPF check on the receiving server. 0
