    I received the following error sending email from gmail.

    Did you mean to say *to* gmail, not *from*?

    Anyone had this?

    Seems like a popular problem/question with gmail: https://support.google.com/mail/thread/24459847?hl=en

    I send to gmail addresses from my Synchronet mail servers all the time, no issue. I can only guess there's something that google doesn't like about your IP address or perhaps the hostname your mail server is claiming to be in its "HELO" message.

    If the IP, hostname and mx don't match, there's a higher chance of bounce...

    I just send all my outbound mail through a sendgrid account, since it's
    free for 10k mails/day. I know you do relay too iirc. Either of which
    are probably easier to deal with.

    Could it also be an issue with the SMTP/Internet mail host configuration
    for the @domain?
