I have a gmail account and it is becoming my main account, however, I
have a problem sending email to the following address.

ws...@shorinjikempo.or.jp.

I know it is a legitimate address and I really need to be able to send
email to this address. However, this domain is somehow "blacklisted"
according to the message from the gmail daemon. The message is
following.

------------
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

ws...@shorinjikempo.or.jp

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 8): 550 This domain is
blacklisted,consult your postmaster
-------------

I have been trying to find a way to contact the postmaster of gmail but
so far, I could not find any way to do so. Anyone, please help!

Go to the offices of shorinjikempo.or.jp with a chainsaw and an attitude.

I would first contact the site owner and ask his advice. Otherwise use
another email account.

A potential problem is that a small number of companies simply refuse
to receive and send email to Gmail accounts. They believe that because
Gmail presents context-related ads next to many email messages, it
presents unfair competition because competitors' ads could potentially
show up next to their email messages. The general consensus in the user
community is that it should be up to the user, not the sender/receiver
what email client he uses. The company does, however, have the right
not send or receive Gmail messages. Personally, I'd be skeptical of any
company whose product cannot hold up to competitive scrutiny.

Of course, I'm not saying that is the case here, but it could be.

Good luck!

Hi Jim,

This error message to me sounds like a gmail's smtp server problem, not
the receiver side. It sounds like gmail is blacklisting this address,
not the receiver blacklisting the gmail address holding sender. Am I
wrong??
