Guest Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 This might provide the information what you are looking for, specific for google apps. https://support.google.com/a/answer/174124?hl=en&ref_topic=2752442 Are you using some other SMTP server instead of Google's SMTP servers? If so, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCor Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 PS i use gmail for Business and domain name changed What do you mean by this? Did you mean the name of the domain (ie, boater.com) changed? to what? Or do you mean the DNS MX record for the domain was changed, as this seems more likely. From Wikipedia: "Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an email validation system designed to prevent email spam by detecting email spoofing, a common vulnerability, by verifying sender IP addresses. SPF allows administrators to specify which hosts [what IP addresses] are allowed to send mail from a given domain by creating a specific SPF record (or TXT record) in the Domain Name System (DNS). Mail exchangers use the DNS to check that mail from a given domain is being sent by a host sanctioned by that domain's administrators." If you have a domain name hosted by GOOGLE and use Google Apps (Google Apps for Business) then the person who set up the account for you should be able to look up and see if the setting are still correct. If you have a domain name through another registrar, possibly because you have a hosted website, then whoever set up the domain name needs to log into the domain name registrar cpanel and set the correct information that GOOGLE requires. https://support.google.com/a/answer/178723?hl=en Hope that helps.
