Please accept my apologies for using the list in this way, but I saw
no other means to contact the person responsible for the cullmail.com
domain. Rest assured I will only use the list for this purpose once.
Dear postmaster at cullmail.com,
Your spamd installation seems to be blocking connections from Gmail as
a result of using greylisting. I would kindly request you add the
Gmail outbound mail server pool to your list of exceptions, as a
previous message of mine directed at your domain did not make it
through.
I attached the original Gmail MTA failure message for your
convenience. Being a spamd user myself, I use the following exception
list for Gmail's mail server pool:
64.233.162.192/28
64.233.170/24
64.233.182.192/28
Sincerely,
Rogier Krieger

I was under the impression that spamd was supposed to "politely" defer
connections from unknown/greylisted hosts.
Given the '451' response in the SMTP conversation, it is a relatively
polite and benign way to defer connections. I doubt a sending MTA will
feel too heartbroken over the accompanying text ;)
Humans shouldn't be connecting to port 25 in any case, unless when
they know what they're doing (and know why they're connecting). End
