Off topic rant: In case this wasn’t already obvious from this symptom, nobody should use Gmail for anything important. Some of our customers (one a google apps “partner” or whatever) have seen it silently drop mails including invoice mails etc (despite aligned SPF, DKIM, DMARC, reverse dns, and no current reputational issue). Even if anything is wrong with the message, they shouldn’t be silently dropping mail on the floor. It’s unbelievably broken as a model for handling “spam” which is what I presume they think they’re doing.

It’s just about adequate for a personal searchable mailing list archive. That’s about it.

Thats interesting. We do see the same issue with google mail.

Basically, only recoveries make it through, i barely see a single alert in my mailbox.

Gmail randomly eats mail nowadays. I have had an ongoing g issue with it discarding (not flagging as spam) alerts from observium. Specifically my port down alerts. Recovery for the same port comes through just fine. Other alerts and recoveries are all fine.
