I occasionally get in to an argument with a customer who is trying to
get mail from someone after a spam run came out of a google mail server
and landed it on a DNSBL. The argument presented to me always boils down
to "Google could never do anything wrong" or "Google is too big to do
anything wrong" and I should immediately stop recommending any DNSBL
that would dare to block Google.
