| Re: Weird email issue: emails going to Google Apps account even though no MX records point to it | jc_clickandcreate | 6/25/12 3:28 PM | Thanks for responding so quickly! I hadn't thought of that, so thanks for bringing it up.

| Re: Weird email issue: emails going to Google Apps account even though no MX records point to it | jc_clickandcreate | 6/25/12 3:49 PM | No, we've been using GoDaddy's DNS manager because the domain is pointed to GoDaddy's nameservers. We just changed the A record to point to our host server. But just to be safe, I checked Plesk too, and there aren't any Google Apps records on the d |

| Re: Weird email issue: emails going to Google Apps account even though no MX records point to it | jc_clickandcreate | 6/25/12 4:01 PM | I checked the headers on two of the messages, one from a Google Apps domain and one from a non-GA domain. The GA email: Delivered-To: em...@rapwaters.com Received: by 10.60.144.72 with SMTP id sk8csp97346oeb; Mon, 25 Jun 2012 10:56:23 -0700 (PDT) R |
| Re: Weird email issue: emails going to Google Apps account even though no MX records point to it | jc_clickandcreate | 6/25/12 4:04 PM | We have the domain hosted at GoDaddy, pointed at GoDaddy's nameservers with an A record pointed to the HostGator dedicated server where we host their website. Sorry.. should have specified. |
| Re: Weird email issue: emails going to Google Apps account even though no MX records point to it | jc_clickandcreate | 6/25/12 4:06 PM | No, they're just being sent from individuals. I don't think they're being sent through a website. Not as far as I can tell, anyway. |
