gmail admins?

Thu Oct 1 21:09:59 UTC 2015

Bill I ran into this same issue some time ago.

I had to move my mail off of Gmail for the same reason. In my case it was on a shared box with people who were not forwarding to Gmail and was causing issues for them sending to Gmail.

Gmail really needs a "this server is forwarding email to me" setting.

Cheers,
