    I've got a friend who is having problems with her gmail emails bouncing with "Relay access denied"

    I googled for a mail server test and the one I got: "Warning - Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner"

    I can see a few things I need to check on her computer but I was wondering about the [FONT=trebuchet ms, helvetica, sans-serif]mail.mydomain.com. [/FONT]setting? Should it point to the ip of the website or to google?[FONT=trebuchet ms, helvetica, sans-serif]

    [/FONT]

    have updated, will give it a whirl and try for size.

    Popped into her office today and found that Google have been trying to merge accounts and she's been fighting to stop it so will get that sorted in the morning and do some testing.

    thanks
