Hi friends
I have one email server and sending 4000-5000 email per day with 8 IP but gmail blocked server any solution for this.

Dont need any Spam on my gmail account so its OK!
Give up and use mailchannels.
Is this double opt in or unsolicited marketing AKA spam?
premium ip migration needed.
There's a few things you might look into / consider:
Depending on your email sending, using 8 IPs might even be too much, and you should try lower it - if it gives you a better ratio of legit email versus emails that might be bulk sending / look spammy. You can send quite some semi-bad email towards them, if your amount of decent email counts towards a rather high percentage - so increasing the volume of an IP might even make it get a better reputation.
Look into your sender statistics, does it happen at certain times, when certain email-addresses send towards gmail?
If you serve customers that do a lot of forwarding, be aware that this usually results in rate-limiting and/or temporary blocking, more frequently than you think - you might want to consider asking those people to not forward, but rather use the POP3 import in Gmail.
I deal with the issues rather often - it disappears by itself, when certain customers stop their spammy emails - or if people stop forwarding.
In case of no forwarding, do all email send from your servers get authenticated via SMTP, does it have DKIM, SPF and DMARC policies set up?
New comer, first (and only) post. Asking about blocked email server with 5000 emails per day. This rises red flags for spaming.
Google (in contrast with MS mail platform) do have tolerance to smaller mail servers, if they are configured correctly using valid spf, dkim, rdns and the ip is not involved with spam. If they blocked OP's ip, this means in the majority of cases that his mail server was used for sending spam or or unsolicited marketing.
Small mail servers are for personal/small companies. If a big company with thousands of daily outgoing mails want to setup their mail server, they should use paid plans from companies like mailchannels. If the need of a mail server is for legit marketing, there are plenty of paid services that can do that safely.
I hear that the united states are here on the internets..
You're hired.
:P
moves in
As much as I would love to lol, of all things what I hate the most is delivery of emails, if I just could offer shared hosting with no email - I would have 90% more time :-D
The email-sending industry became so bad the recent years that I almost do not want to deal with it anymore, just explaining people about deliverability, and why it became so broken after ESP's gave the user an easy option to "Mark as Spam" (User reads "Delete email") - it screwed the mail-filtering, causing email delivery to just go south.
Oh well.
Late 2013, when Yahoo adopted DMARC and everyone else decided to follow. I'm still explaining to people daily that email in 2017 is not email in 2011.
But it's still in my inbox tho...
Check your IP at MXToolbox.
Maybe your sending IPs got blacklisted because of the bulk emails your sending may have some spam in it.
Gmail doesn't really use external RBLs and mail-tester.com would give you more relevant tests and less irrelevant tests than mxtoolbox when trying to determine deliverability issues to Gmail.
If Gmail blocks you, you are sending things to them that they consider spam, or sending at a rate that they consider to be spam. Period. No exception. Their block list is never permanent, it's like fail2ban it always falls off.
Gmail is very good on filtering emails. In contrast with MS Outlook that is banning domains and ips for no obvious reasons, just because the ip or domain do not have yet enough reputation with their systems! And they do not even sent the mails to spam, they reject it completely!
thanks for reply
depends on what kind of content you are sending and how much you are sending(speed).
You have to start with speed less than 250/hr/ip for gmail, start with 200 and you are good to go. If you go above this level at start then the emails will auto go to spam folder, double the send speed everyday, these steps will help u warm up ips first.
Ofc all of this considering that you are sending NON SPAMMY content and ppl actually want to receive ur newsletters.
Good luck.
Jarland is correct. I was routing all my email through my mail server, before reaching my Gmail inbox. Obvious spam, too. Gmail eventually began denying my mail routing on delivery, or dumped a lot mail into spam even though the messages had no spam characteristics other than being routed through my server.
After I used spam blocking software to stop the obvious spam from reaching Gmail, my mail server's IP fell off of Gmail's internal spam block lists.
Gmail does indeed appear to have its own internal logging of IPs which deliver spam to Gmail accounts, since my IP was never listed on any public blocklists.
And they're going to block the hell out of outbound spam.
