Question

I am currently using free version of Google Apps for hosting my email.It works great for my official mails my email on Google is [e-mail].

In addition I’m sending out high volume mails (registrations, forgotten passwords, newsletters etc) from the website (www.mydomain.com) using IIS SMTP installed on my windows machine.

These emails are sent from [e-mail]

My problem is that when I send email from the website using IIS SMTP to a mail address
[e-mail] I don’t receive the email to Google apps. (I only receive these emails if I install a pop service on the server with the [e-mail] email box).
It seems that the IIS SMTP is ignoring the domain MX records and just delivers these emails to my local server.

Here are my DNS records for domain.com:

mydomain.com  A 82.80.200.20 3600s     
mydomain.com  TXT v=spf1 ip4: 82.80.200.20 a mx ptr include:aspmx.googlemail.com ~all 
mydomain.com  MX preference: 10 exchange: aspmx2.googlemail.com  3600s 
mydomain.com  MX preference: 10 exchange: aspmx3.googlemail.com  3600s 
mydomain.com  MX preference: 10 exchange: aspmx4.googlemail.com  3600s 
mydomain.com  MX preference: 10 exchange: aspmx5.googlemail.com  3600s 
mydomain.com  MX preference: 1 exchange: aspmx.l.google.com  3600s 
mydomain.com  MX preference: 5 exchange: alt1.aspmx.l.google.com  3600s 
mydomain.com  MX preference: 5 exchange: alt2.aspmx.l.google.com  3600s

Please help!

Thanks.

Update:

Problem Solved.

I had a pop3 service installed on the server from the time i wasn’t using google apps.
this created a local domain under the smtp called mydomain.com.
removing the pop3 email box’s along with the local domain smtp solved my problem.
