I frequently have mailerdemom return mail that I have sent, telling me I'm using an incorrect email address for the addressee. However when I Forward my initial email to the same addressee, using the same email address the email is received. Sorry if I violated protocol here, but AOL doesn't publish a an address for online help for non-subscribers. Not sure if this is the right place to drop my question?

I was suffering big time yesterday with all servers queues full with 'protocol compliance' rejection messages. Disabling pipelining cleaned the queues. Today I tried to re-enable pipelining and delivery to Google remained ok. I can confirm that was a problem on Google side and also they fixed the problem.

Gmail may have fixed their issue because my outbound queues don't have any gmail.com messages in there. The mailops listserv also clarified that it's pipelining support that is/was the problem and not postfix. Thanks for those confirming comments and pointing to the source of the postfix tweaks.

There's no suggestion it's postfix-specific, but that list is where I saw it mentioned (and I mostly trust postfix to implement ESMTP correctly, so if a postfix box can't interoperate with gmail, I'll tend to blame gmail). I was chatting privately with someone with the same problem on a couple of servers. Disabling pipelining seems to have resolved it, so it looks likely that Google broke pipelining support on at least some of their inbound cluster. I've also heard mumblings from several places that quite a few other servers are seeing the same issue, and the common factor is mailing to gmail. http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2008-11/0166.html is the mention on the postfix list.
