Hi,
On my server I set up exim for users to be able to send their complains to
feedback@???. These mails are redirected to manager's mailboxes
through /etc/aliases file: manager1@??? and manager2@???. Also,
I have postmaster@??? redirected to my.email@???. And here's
the message I got recently:

I don't have much experience with exim, and someone's help with
interpreting it is greatly appreciated.
All in all, google complains about too much mail coming from my server. But
what is the first message (1WddBb-0007hU-1l) all about? It's a bounce
message, I take it. But for which other email? Is there a way to find it
out? If google starts rate limiting mail, it's the users who should receive
bounces, isn't it?
Also, why do I get authentication error in the second message? And how many
messages are taking part in this "conversation"? I'm not sure if I can
count them correctly.
In addtion, I'm told that not relying on google servers is a better way,
which would avoid such problems:

But
still, I'd like to figure out what happened. Thanks in advance for your
replies.
Best regards,
Yuri Kanivetsky
