Hey friends,

I just noticed that on November 22nd, Google started returning new errors:

421-4.7.28 Gmail has detected an unusual rate of unsolicited mail originating from your SPF domain [userdomain.tld 15]. To protect our users from spam, mail sent from your domain has been temporarily rate limited. For more information, go to https://support.google.com/mail/?p=UnsolicitedRateLimitError to review our Bulk Email Senders Guidelines. o13-20020a056870200d00b002033c710f0asi2122725oab.109 - gsmtp

And a little of this:

421-4.7.28 Gmail has detected an unusual rate of unsolicited mail originating from your DKIM domain [ 15]. To protect our users from spam, mail sent from your domain has been temporarily rate limited. Please visit https://support.google.com/mail/?p=UnsolicitedRateLimitError to review our Bulk Email Senders Guidelines. y5-20020a056808130500b003b3eaa2eb4esi890433oiv.53 - gsmtp

And of course, the more generic:

421-4.7.28 Gmail has detected an unusual rate of unsolicited mail. To protect our users from spam, mail has been temporarily rate limited. Please visit https://support.google.com/mail/?p=UnsolicitedRateLimitError to review our Bulk Email Senders Guidelines. i1-20020a9d68c1000000b006d47c518673si38890oto.150 - gsmtp

It seems like Google is no longer just rate limiting IP addresses for this, but getting down into finer detail when rate limiting. Perhaps it was always there and the messaging has just been clarified. Either way, a welcome change, and good news for anyone who didn't know about it.

Obligatory: We don't intend to send any email their way that could be perceived as unsolicited, but our users do use forwarders and we'll never completely match their filters.
