I repeat my suggestion that you collect real data to show that
those SMTP packets from gmail actually reach you. Because when
you finally discover that they don't then you can go and fix the
real problem.
i have no idea HOW to get that real data.. I do not have access to
the
servers that are connecting and none of my logs shwo info on the
failed attempts
Run tcpdump on your machine, then send mail from gmail etc.
# tcpdump port 25
Then you should see packets from hosts that can reach you;
you should see no or only few packets from hosts that can't.
Thank you for that suggestion
I did run that and was able to ascertain that the gmail servers are in
fact reaching my server
from the comments received in the thread I am obviously screwing up
something on my server and do not have the
knowledge to find...
