Google infrastructure apparently cannot handle a multi-recipient
message for disparate domains (duh!). Despite being perfectly
normal and standard MTA operation.

I use:

multi_domain = ${if match{$host}{(?i)google.com\$}} {no}{yes}}

on my outbound smtp transport for this reason. It very obviously
won't scale if more 800lb gorillas start behaving so.
