Well, I unblocked gmail accounts for a few days, but the flood of spammers using that email service still continues. So I put the block back in place. Sorry, but if gmail can't better police the spammers using their facilities, then I have no choice. Legitimate members will just have to find a better email service to use.

Just got this email from Google:
Quote:

This message is from Google Mail Customer care messaging center, to all Gmaill account owners. We are currently upgrading our data base servers, and e-mail account center.
We are deleting all unused Gmail accounts to create more space for new accounts. You will have to Authenticate your Gmail Account below to prevent a permanent closure of this email address.

I haven't gotten that email for my gmail account.
I Googled gmail authenticate, and most of the top hits I got were relative to this http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/02...ation-to-gmail. Was the email addressed to you specifically? If not, it might be a good idea to report it to Google as phishing - they'll confirm the authenticity if it is for real.

That is definitely not a legit email. Usually messages about updates and password recovery will come in directly in the Google Account interface when you log in. Sometimes they send emails but most of the really important stuff it will catch you when you log in.

I didn't...I wasn't sure if it was legit. Do I just click "report spam" or is there somewhere else I should send it?

The block on gmail accounts has been lifted. My programmer gave me a tool to help deal with the spammers more efficiently.
