MWEB blocking Gmail

Is MWEB blocking Gmail accounts?

Mweb Blocking Gmail?

Judging by ongoing problems experienced by some of my customers, and various posts on http://mybroadband.co.za and other internet forums, this would appear to be the case.

Starting some 3 months back, there have been numerous complaints from users of Gmail e-mail services that they are unable to send e-mail to recipients with a @wmeb e-mail address, or to forward e-mails they receive from a gmail account to a MWEB account.

At the time, there were claims supposedly made by MWEB that they were blocking all Gmail accounts as this free e-mail service was being used by spammers. (I was unable to find the original notification today).
