| why are my messages from another domain being marked as spam when sent from gmail even though my gmail settings say to send from my server and I have confirmed the email address? | ummmidunno | 4/30/12 11:13 AM | We have several people using gmail to send emails from our domain and they are all set up the same way, to use our outbound server to send. The mail that we're sending from gmail is now getting rejected as spam because the emails are actually coming |

Can you check the settings on your server? |

The problem is that GMAIL is sending the message and it shouldn't be from what |

I can't tell for sure, but it very well could be that first hand-off |

Why do I need to provide login credentials for the smtp server if gmail isn't actually sending from that server? If gmail was actually logging into the server to send the email then the source in |

It does that by first handing off the mail to a google server, which then connects to that external smtp server (using your supplied credenti |

The rejection message said it was rejected by the recipient domain, not my domain. In the rejection above, that is http://gmail.com. This issue all started when I added an spf record to my domain.

When using an external smtp server, the first "recipient domain" is actually that external server, not the final recipient domain. I don't think monkeying with your spf records is going to fix anyth |

As I said before, this only started happening when I added an SPF record for my domain. It was NOT an issue with that external server (which is actually a godaddy email service). It WAS because gmail was trying to send |
