Google's new email service, Gmail, has sparked controversy amongst privacy activists because it will place contextual based ads within emails by first scanning the content of the email.

Public interest groups are apprehensive about Google "reading" emails in order to place ads within the mailings. There are also issues about Google not deleting messages after the user chooses to.

Now comes news that Gmails are being rejected by other webmasters and email addresses.

According to posters at WebMasterWorld.com, mailings to non-Gmail accounts are being rejected and the user is returned this message: "Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, due to potential privacy and confidentiality considerations, we are not accepting inbound email from Google's Gmail service. In order for us to respond to your email, you will need to resend it from a different email account. "

Speculation as to why email originating from Google is bouncing outside emails stems from the privacy issues that Gmail faces.
