The connection from Gmail is obviously going to another host. If you'd have provided the actual MX domain I'd be typing the answer to your question instead of scolding you for obfuscating information that is necessary for us to help you. As a general rule, unless lives or millions of $currency is at stake, don't obfuscate domains and IP addresses. It simply eats more of your time, and ours, and delays a solution. -- Stan
