Hello all,

It seems that wireshark.org has moved to smtp.google.com for email (recently?).

This seems to cause some problems, at least, for me.

- Emails from some domains are rejected stating "policy reasons" without any details.

- The mailing list subscription mechanism has some issues. At least, the mail addresses generated by mailman to confirm subscriptions are rejected by Google by "address unknown" (even from gmail adresses).

    UGH!!!
    
    Google is TERRIBLE for mail handling.  They have the nerve to claim
    they know every valid email address on the Internet (which they do
    not).  And there is no way to address any issues someone might run
    into (like alleged policy issues).
    
    And heaven forbid you try to send an email to an abuse contact?!? 
    Companies that use Google to handle their email HAVE NO CHOICE but
    to have any email blocked that Google deems may contain spam or
    phishing content, but that's what people have to send to get an
    abuse contact to deal with the abuse.  No respectable (and
    responsible) domain owner should use Google to handle their email.
