Howdy, all.
A number of my friends & family have been telling me that GMail has been labeling my e-mail as possible spam. I finally got around to looking at it, and yes, GMail doesn't like me very much.
Some History:
Years ago, when I was fed-up with my previous ISP, and before I settled on sonic.net (love you guys, by the way), I decided to settle on the new, up-and-coming, pre-IPO 'Google' as my e-mail address: it was portable, and since my Google username is my real name with '@gmail.com' tacked-on, I figured nobody would have to remember much, or forget to update their address books if/when I moved or changed providers.
My mail client of choice was 'Pine'. Now it's 'Alpine'. Procmail is my very very good friend, as the GMail account simply forwards everything to me at my sonic.net account, and I am otherwise a very happy camper.
Current Situation:
The boys in Mountain View don't like it when I send from my sonic.net account, where my .pinerc has the smtp-server set to mail.sonic.net, and the user-domain set to gmail.com (all of which tells replies to go to my GMail account (before being forwarded to my 'real' sonic.net account)). Basically, it looks like my e-mail is being sent (legitimately, I hope) from GMail, and most people are (or, were) none the wiser.
The error reads "This message may not have been sent by: <REDACTED>@gmail.com, and the reader is instructed to go here: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/ans ... wer=185812 Madness, I tell you.
Request:
Is there a way the good people at Sonic.net can have their servers be recognized/authorized for use for GMail? Or is there some setting in the .pinerc file I'm not seeing?
Thanks in advance,
