This means some e-mail sent from a Gmail account will be bounced as spam when sent to Internet service providers using Spamcop as a first line defense against spam. According to the SpamCop site, the following Gmail SMTP servers were responsible for spam sent to SpamCop spamtrap accounts in the past week. 66.249.92.192 Listing History In the past 45.2 days, it has been listed 11 times for a total of 8.8 days 66.249.92.194 Listing History In the past 45.6 days, it has been listed 9 times for a total of 8.0 days 66.249.92.195 Listing History In the past 25.9 days, it has been listed 8 times for a total of 9.1 days 66.249.92.198 Listing History In the past 47.6 days, it has been listed 10 times for a total of 8.2 days 66.249.92.201 Listing History In the past 48.1 days, it has been listed 13 times for a total of 10.6 days 66.249.92.203 Listing History In the past 45.2 days, it has been listed 8 times for a total of 6.5 days 66.249.92.206 Listing History In the past 40.8 days, it has been listed 9 times for a total of 7.6 days 66.249.92.207 Listing History In the past 46.5 days, it has been listed 14 times for a total of 11.8 days Other hosts in this subnet with spam reports 66.249.92.193 66.249.92.196 66.249.92.197 66.249.92.199 66.249.92.200 66.249.92.202 66.249.92.204 66.249.92.205 Gmail routinely gets blacklisted by Spamcop and others because the servers remove the mail sender's IP address from the mail headers (which is a common tactic of spammers). Google defend this practice by saying it protects their users' privacy. "We have had discussions with Gmail about this. They refuse to include any IP in the headers indicating the injecting user and only have their own IP. All the other large free mailers include the injecting user IP which we recognize as the source of the spam," says SpamCop.   E-mail this story     Printer-friendly version     Bookmark this page
