George,

All mail sent to Google mail recipients, from my server, are being blocked. 
The rest of sent emails from the server are being deferred for a time and 
sometimes not delivered.

This is exactly what I receive, for deferred, from more than 1 recipient.



"The original message was received at Tue, 15 Oct 2013 10:34:42 -0400

from [xx.xxx.xxx.54]



   ----- Transcript of session follows -----

<TXXXXXXH at aol.com>... Deferred: Connection refused by mailin-03.mx.aol.com.

Warning: message still undelivered after 4 hours

Will keep trying until message is 5 days old"



My reverse DNS checks fine from outside over the net.

I tested at a few websites that check for open relays, ports, dns check 
etc. and everything checks out fine.

I also ran a few local tests to make sure the smtp was working. 

So I'm figuring, since it takes forever for Gmail to release a targeted IP, 
just change it. I own 5 and am using 2.

But only 1 is targeted by Gmail.

I just replied to the list from my official email address and immediately 
received a "rejected by blueonyx at mail.blueonyx.it" Deferred. So I am 
posting this at the post site.



Thank you for the help

Tom

PS: I love it. my keyword to post is "steamed", which is exactly how I 
feel:-)
