I’m using PHPMailer 5.2.0 and Google Apps for my domain email (let say my domain is mydomain.com).

Email sending works well, but Gmail accounts are not receiving the emails.

  • Email sent to Yahoo: Delivered
  • Email sent to Hotmail: Delivered
  • Email sent to Gmail: Not Delivered

All sent emails appear in Sent Folder of Google App email.

It seems Gmail rejects the emails before it arrives even in Spam folder, doesn’t it?

I read about SPF and am trying to create SPF record. There are 4 fields for TXT record: Name, TTL, Type, and TXT Data. I’m not sure with Name field, should it be mydomain.com?

    Yes, the name of the entry is that of your mail domain (the part after the @). Depending on you DNS software or the administration interface of your domain, you may need to end it with a period:

    Name: mydomain.com or mydomain.com.
TTL: 86400 
Type: TXT
TXT for Google Apps: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all

    For example, Google returns the following SPF data (though this example is not for a Google Apps hosted MX):

    $ dig google.com TXT

;; ANSWER SECTION:
google.com.     3189    IN  TXT "v=spf1 include:_netblocks.google.com ip4:216.73.93.70/31 ip4:216.73.93.72/31 ~all"

    But since you use Google Apps, your SPF entry needs to conform their SMTP settings. Follow Google instructions for SPF records.
