Ok I missed that Ryan up there was from Gandi, so sorry about snapping
in the last post...at least the problem has some attention now. It's
just hard to describe the anger that results from being ignored

is
as important as it is these days.
Hi Markus:

It is not possible to use Gandi's e-mail forwarding AND Gmail's MX at
the same time, because they each requires their own MX entry in a
Gandi's Zone file. 

This is because if you want to have Gandi forward your mail, you will
use Gandi's MX records (so our servers handle your mail); but if you
want to use Gmail's 

You see, Gandi's mail forwarding uses our mail servers (MX records) but
Gmail requires Google's mail servers (their MX records). You cannot mix
the two - you must choose either Gandi's mail servers or Google's mail
servers.

Using Google's mail servers however requires that you have told Google
beforehand the name of your domain, and have set up your account with
them - this program is the "Gmail for your domain". If you are using a
different Google program, please let us all know what it is.

3. Everything should be working after step one and two
-> No, because if you do both step 1 and 2 the result will be that
neither will work. You must choose between forwarding your mail using
Gandi's mail servers, or pointing your domain to Google's mail servers
and having them manage your mail.
