For example, within the email the sending domain is not listed as google.com; it is listed as * some-long-random-stream-of-gibberish.ewindeIWJd2382ewkj323d2N.apphosting.bounces.google.com *. The same string is repeated as the return path. It just doesn't look professional - it looks downright spammy and a lot of filters will /dev/null any email coming from GAE. You're better off with Sendgrid, Postmark, etc. Sending mail is a much harder problem than many people think it is; better to outsource it to someone else. If you want a recommendation, I would recommend Sendgrid. I will say that GAE seems to have zero problems sending to Gmail addresses. I use GAE mail to send me status reports, errors, etc and I've never seen those emails get dumped to the spam folder.
