Technical Ish

Email sent to my usual address seems to be bouncing.

I’ve been forwarding that address to a Gmail account for months now, but sometime last night Google decided that wasn’t cool, and is sending back nasty little PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 554 Relay access denied messages to any poor soul that tries to email me.

Except that spam is still getting through. Just not, y’know, emails I want. Thanks, Google.

I’ve emailed Gmail support about it but I don’t expect any resolution, ever.

UPDATE: seems to have resolved itself. Weirdness.
