RE: [EXTERNAL] SMTP via Google relay has changed status to: Not under consideration

I have a Office 365 Connector setup to our office. Then use local relay that only accepts a connection from authorized IPs. Just make sure you have your DNS SPF record setup correctly.

Oh come on Brad, It's just a SIMPLE mail protocol, how hard could it be?
I mean what could POSSIBLY go wrong?? (Duckin' and runnin'!)

What's funny about that is most think if "it works" (without setting
up the proper email relays) it's working right. They don't realize
they're sending emails directly to the recipient's mail servers. Some
are rejected because of no reverse DNS, others are rejected for other
reasons and the sender doesn't even know about those failed messages.
They just think because it works to their own account, or a yahoo
account, that it works for everyone.

I've tried to explain that to customers of the years.. all some care
about is the appearance that "it's working". :) They don't care how,
why or who... and move on to the next issue.

Always happy to help. I've got all my stuff switched over to OAuth
for GMail and O365 and so far so good. The only issue with O365 is
their refresh tokens can expire if not used and re-registration needs
to happen... not a huge deal, but it's annoying.
