Just a quick google search revealed that gmail is having a massive outage/issue likely causing this. Basically the site has automated bounce handling meaning when your email says "no this isn't valid" we stop sending. It generally prevents us from being blacklisted which is why the above surprised me.

But looks like this today may have caused it - still investigating on my end:

I went through and manually overrode the settings on the accounts I saw who bounced today so hopefully the errors/issues you are seeing should be gone. But definitely crazy and makes you all realize how much we rely on Google
