Kelvin, It looks like you are facing SPF protection and simple fix of TXT dns record should help you to authorize google to transmit e-mail for your domain. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework for more details. At the end your record might look like this: @ IN TXT "v=spf1 a include:aspmx2.googlemail.com ~all" plus all other allowed domains: quee.org. 602331 IN MX 30 aspmx2.googlemail.com. quee.org. 602331 IN MX 50 aspmx3.googlemail.com. quee.org. 602331 IN MX 10 aspmx.l.google.com. quee.org. 602331 IN MX 20 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com. quee.org. 602331 IN MX 30 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com.
