This stuff hasn't changed in some 8-10 years and you are the first to have any issues with it that I can recall. I really doubt this is a widespread problem and honestly we don't have a lot of cycles to play with mail systems. We do get requests to tighten things further to cut down on the spam that does slip though so we would be more inclined to tighten things than to loosen them. Note also that your domain triggers different rules than the google.com one. You can't just look at the total numbers, which block lists you end up on and how current the violation is matters a lot. For example: http://www.uceprotect.net/en/rblcheck.php?ipr=79.170.44.47 What does it mean to be listed at the UCEPROTECT-Level 1? It means abusive activity was seen from IP 79.170.44.47 directly within the last 7 days. Concrete allegation: IP 79.170.44.47 tried to deliver mail to spamtraps. So yes, if you share a mail server with an active spammer, you are likely to get blocked, not just from php.net, but from many places. -Rasmus
