I'm involved in organising freelance dancers in Berlin to form networks of support in the face of funding cuts and the censorship of comment critical of the past and ongoing situation in Gaza.

The bounce message we receive has this:

SMTP error from remote server for TEXT command, host: gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com (108.177.96.26) reason: 552-5.7.0 This message was blocked because its content presents a potential 552-5.7.0 security issue.

Unfortunately, this community of people are heavy gmail users and as you can probably imagine, not being able to put the URL in emails is seriously impacting our work

Same for our trom.tf website where we provide free services like Friendica, Peertube, Nextcloud. Gmail rejects all of the emails send from our server. We cannot send registration notifications for example. It is awful. Tried for the past year to fix. In vain.

@tio sorry to hear that. What have you tried? Any luck asking G**gle? We can't even post a question on their forums with our URL in it!
