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 completely for four or five days when, frankly, having working email is as important as it is these days.
Hi DC, Don't worry about snapping - that just means you are human :) I will look at your situation in detail tomorrow (it is Sunday night now, and I am posting from home...), but from what I have read so far, you appear to be trying to do the same thing as Markus, which is use both Gandi's mail forwarding service AND Google's MX records to send e-mail via your Gmail account - which is impossible because each require their own MX records pointing to different mail servers... In the meantime, check your Gandi DNS zone: if you are on a.dns.gandi.net b.dns.gandi.net and c.dns.gandi.net and you have set up e-mail forwarding addresses and your MX records are as follows, you are perfectly configued to use our e-mail forwarding: @ 10800 IN MX 10 redir-mail-telehouse2.gandi.net. @ 10800 IN MX 10 redir-mail-telehouse1.gandi.net. But of course you will not be able to use Googl's servers, or their service, because you are pointing your domain to our mail servers. If you have set up your MX records in Gandi's DNS to be configured for the "Gmail for your domain" program (Google's letting you use their mail servers for free) - or some other Gmail program I am unaware of, then your zone must look like the following (but then, of course you will not be able to use Gandi's e-mail forwarding!): @ MX ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 5 8 hours @ MX ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 5 8 hours @ MX ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 5 8 hours @ MX ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 5 8 hours @ MX ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 3 8 hours @ MX ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 1 8 hours @ MX ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 3 8 hours You can set up forwarding if you are using Google's mail servers, but you can only set that up from within your Gmail account. Additionally, they will only work if you have configured Google's servers beforehand to reply to requests for your domain name. This above information is to help everyone, but DC, I will reply to you personally via the support ticket you sent.
