Well on an old not much used wife's gmail email account stll receiving like somebody else personal life activities, paypal notifications for activities, playstation id purchases and activities /we never had PS/ , property search site subscription with appointments and many more. Never investigate that story because that account not much used actually created by me and just keep an eye on that an laughting on gmail, rumors looks correct for me

Was just about to post this as I couldn't find any resources to point to an outage.. will keep an eye on this.

Ran into the same thing yesterday at 4:37 PM Central, had 25 bounced emails for that single minute in time all from Gmail, same 550 response.
