No one who reads or posts to this list can effect the change you’re looking for. This goes well beyond the technical interoperational issues that this list is intended to discuss. If you truly want something to change, you need to talk to the people who are responsible. Mailop is not the forum for that. With that being said, things have drastically improved at Google with regards to small senders in the last 5 years. We’re a very small sender, maybe a few hundred emails a week. Back in 2014 or so we had a catastrophic server failure, like, just wiped out - while installing new backup software. (oh, the irony) It was bad. Part of the repair of that was building a entirely new mailserver. Initially we deployed the new mailserver on a different IP on our Properly SWIPed and dedicated /25. We suffered delivery problems at Gmail (and other places) until we reverted back to our original mail server IP. In 2018 we migrated from that IP to a brand new IP at a VPS provider. We suffered no delivery problems at Gmail or elsewhere due to the move. I will admit, I was a little concerned, but we were shutting down our Colo space and we didn’t have much choice but to move to a new IP for mail. Fundamentally, the 2014 move shouldn’t have caused us problems, but it did because the filters weren’t that great then. The 2018 move didn’t cause us problems because things are better now. Are they perfect? Of course not. Is it so bad that we should hijack all of the conversations on a mail operations list to discuss Google policy? No. The people who make policy don’t read this list or if they do, they not participating in the discussion you want to have. laura -- Having an Email Crisis?
