How to configure google apps for sending and recieving emails??




Posted by imoracle, 06-15-2008, 05:45 PM
Hi, I have been using google apps for my domain. However if I send a mail through my server using php mail() function. It doesn't show up in the google apps account sent mail folder. Further, if I CC or BCC the mail to my google apps email id, it turns up in the inbox (which is fine). Also at times I have noticed if my user tries to reply back to the send mail, instead of it coming in the google apps account, it turns up internally in the postfix interface on webmin. How can I configure gooogle apps so that it can take full control of my domain mails, including sending recieveing thrash etc etc. I already have google MX enteries in my Godaddy account. Any suggestions, Imoracle

You need to setup your outgoing mail on the server to use Google's SMTP servers, then it will show up in the Sent folder of your account.

Easiest way since you mentioned it is a php app, is to switch that over to using SMTP function instead of the php mail() function. Look at something like php mailer and configure it to use gmail's smtp servers.
