Re: Google hosted email

I think I misread. You're not using gmail for your mail server, you're
trying to send TO gmail. Still helps to know how the mail is being
delivered.

Still, I would check at the mail router side of things to see what it's
saying. If you're not using one and reverse DNS isn't set up, that could
be it. In the past I believe it was only yahoo and hotmail that required
RDNS lookups to be valid to accept mail. Gmail may be doing the same now.

For years so many IBMi shops sent mail directly without a mail router.
Slowly that is biting people since it's not technically the right way to
do things. I deal with hundreds of issues like that a year so I've seen
pretty much everything. :)

Jon,

what are you using to send the email? What command? And is it set up
properly for both TLS or SSL and authentication? These are required.

Google use to let it go by, but now I've noticed they don't anymore if
it's not authenticated.

Thanks for the links Louis - but the client in question is receiving mail
from others, and even simple mail from us so I don't think it is a service
failure issue.

Jon,

Google's status page reports everything ok:

On the other hand, the "downdetector" website seems to imply that there

are

some users out there with problems:

I'm having trouble sending emails not just to gmail accounts but also

to

some commercial gmail hosted accounts.

Nothing is showing up in the spam filters and no bounce messages.

I have succeeded in sending simple emails from the IBM i to those same
accounts - so it appears to be content related but ...

Anyone have any experience of similar problems with google hosted mail?
