GMail and Sourceforge E-mail Bouncing Saga 242
An anonymous reader writes "All e-mail going back and forth from Sourceforge and Gmail is being bounced. This leaves many Open Source projects with helpless mailing lists. Fortunately, Sourceforge blames Google and Google is blaming SourceForge for this. The Sourceforge support site is clogged with support requests for a resolution to this problem. Google's response to this bouncing has been automated e-mails saying it is probably at the other end of mail delivery. This is something that the community needs to know about since it has been going on for a week already with no end in sight." Worth noting that Sourceforge and Slashdot are both part of OSTG. Update 20:07 GMT by SM: According to SourceForge support staff this issue is now resolved. Apparently a few days ago the sender-verify to gmail started resulting in 450 errors. Google has since either corrected this issue or whitelisted SourceForge and several tests of the system have resulted in correct delivery.

Yes, it's so useful to have a choice of 13,237 window managers. Linux just won't be ready for the desktop until we have at least 187,467 window managers, each using its own widget-libraries.

What we REALLY need is a full OSI protocol stack build on top of TCP/IP so we can use all the wonderful features of X.400, X.500 (instead of messy LDAP), and so forth!

Since all email is being bounced does this mean that it is an endless snowball effect with more and more emails being bounced back and forth?
Who will have the last server standing? Google or Sourceforge?

Because X.400 isn't at all accepted, anywhere, and never was ;-)
There, corrected that typo for you.

Homer: No, I do not know what shaden-frawde is. [sarcasm] Please tell me, because I'm dying to know.
Lisa: It's a German term for `shameful joy', taking pleasure in the suffering of others.
Homer: Oh, come on Lisa. I'm just glad to see him fall flat on his butt! [getting mad] He's usually all happy and comfortable, and surrounded by loved ones, and it makes me feel... What's the opposite of that shameful joy thing of yours?
Lisa: [nastily] Sour grapes.
Homer: Boy, those Germans have a word for everything!

So, is that Google's way of diagnosing hemroids, or of helping you find gay blind dates?
