Hi Folks I have a quck question. i did a quick read of some of the other posst on the forum and there were some remarks about other people having trouble with email addresses linked to Google Apps. I seem to be having similar problems. Everything works great if I use a non-Googl Apps controled email address. However if I use the email address that I want to use that is controled by Google Apps I don't get the email!

i checked to spam folder no emails.

Can anybody give me some addvice about this?

Take care

Hi Folks, I did some further research on this subject it seems a problem with Wordpress in general and how it works with Google Apps. There are some Wordpress plugins that are supposed to help. One of them I downloaded

WP Mail SMTP http://www.callum-macdonald.co…..mail-smtp/

After I uploaded it and set it up it allows you to do a test email which worked but when I tried the normal cforms || I still don't get a email does anyone know if cforms || works with with Google Apps and this SMTP plugin?

Take care

Can you find out what the non standard / specific "Google Apps" email requirements are?

To my knowledge, the WP SMTP plugin doesn't do anything specific…

Hi Oliver, thanks for the reply and the plugin its great. I managed to solve the problem its and interesting one.

I was using the hosting compnay Siteground which I have used on quite a few websites for clients and my own company's website.

Siteground used to have a faqs page with a list of MX records it recommend if you wanted to change over to Google Apps connected to email.

Then recently they changed this to some kind of automatic system you press a button and it does the MX records for you! The only problem with this script is that it not working properly. It to do with the email priority.

I hope this information helps some other poor devil trying to get Google Apps to work with Wordpress like me it only took my whole weekend up!

Take care
