Surprised to not see gmail.com in the list[1].

DARPA invented a communications network that could survive a nuclear war. Instead, everyone uses Gmail.

If any other source of spam was so resistant to receiving abuse reports, they would be blackholed by everyone.

Thanks, antitrust enforcement.

So sad, but so true!

When I self-hosted email I used Spamhaus to as a block list and Spam Assassin to filter the rest. Gmail users made up the biggest chunk of spam that got through but it was never from Google/Gmail domains, it was almost always from a Gmail user with a custom domain.

I've used Postgrey, for Postfix, and it's greatly reduced my spam. However, first emails from new folk are delayed a bit.

The current round is using DKIM verified messages from the gmail.com domain.

DKIM: 'PASS' with domain gmail.com

I wonder if SPF / DKIM / DMARC have improved this.

Google domains doesnt make it quite as easy as other hosting providers, and to be honest if they were super serious about email abuse they should encourage every domain to use it.

Spammers use vpn nowadays. This make these spammhaus like services useless. They change IPs every week.

Most mail protection models against spam don't work.

I have an idea of a method that could help reduce spam and undesirable mails. It would be free for non-spammers and spammers would pay.

The problem is that I'm not sure if people would be ready to adopt it. There is also many different ways to execute, and I'm not sure which one to pick.

Despite the title, the article you linked has nothing whatsoever to do with spam coming from Gmail.
