I don't work for gmail fyi (as a quick google search will tell you, or a Bing if you hate google so much) and I don't use sorbs either, not since the late 2000s anyway. Without seeing a smtp txn with logging all the way up or a tcpdump I am not sure what is going on but a read error probably means you're dropping the smtp connection right after the 5xx without giving gmail the time to gracefully QUIT the smtp session. Or vice versa --srs

This isn't quite mailop but anyway - what specifically do you mean by replace here? Yes, but is is an abuse wok group - it is important that the group also discusses abuse, more so if their is abusive behavior from a huge multinational.
Do you strip mime parts that you consider spam or malware and replace them with a suitable message? And is the gmail mta not reacting well to that?
Examples would be interesting - certainly much more interesting than a vague rant. Not a vague rant at all - the original post already contains the information. Gmail is behaving poorly/abusively.
maybe you require me to add additional information? - as there is ZERO chance that you do not know what I am complaining about...
I do wonder why you are not simply replying honestly and openly?

Hello,
Incase anyone receives weird NON RFC bounces, from @gmail.com customers saying:
Technical details of permanent failure: read error: generic::failed_precondition: read error (0): error
What this means is:
Google Inc does REPLACE the "Blocked for abuse / spam /scams / phish / virus / spyware messages from the various filters
and sens a cryptic non RFC message to their users implying that the receivers email server is broken in some way....
This is truly EVIL of Google to do...
As they, Google are the ones sending PHISH / VIRUS/ SCAMS / SPAM!
Example: @209.85.218.43
http://www.scammed.by/scam.php?id=185816
Instead of SOLVING the abuse - Google chooses to send CRYPTIC technical failure messages...
Because they are a monopoly and they are simply just too large to care??
Yes, of course!
