Sporadic blocking from Gmail's mail servers but with no error message. Since
Google considers breaking 5322 a bad practice, I am guessing that using mung
may be related to these random blocking. But I am guessing but since
recommending to our clients on our mailman servers, to start using "wrap
message" via the Sender Filters page, we have seen Gmail delivery
improvements and on some servers, the random blocking has cleared up
entirely. I have submitted a ticket with Google but am still waiting to hear
back from them so hopefully I will get a definitive answer to what was going
on.
