Google does not use RBLs from other sources. They have their own reputation algorithms, and there is nothing you can do to request that your domain be removed.

However, the algorithms are self-correcting. If the bad behavior has been corrected, you will automatically stop being spammed by Gmail after enough time has passed. As to how much time that takes: Google ain't sayin' and I have never succeeded in getting an answer from them.

Its been a week. I had to cancel a vacation because of this. I just cannot believe we live in a world where we can have one incident with an employee that stops many of our students from being able to communicate with their instructors and we cannot talk to a lot of other colleges. Its just a sucky life.

I know. It sucks terribly, and Google just doesn't care. It's total bullsh*t.

It is depressing. I cannot help but think that the same strategy will be applied to AI, IoT, and cars. It just is so inhuman. I don't care about scale, there is a certain level of handshaking and communication that needs to occur.

Worse, people don't get why I cannot simply call someone. That's how it works in everything else.
