@Odhiambo,

I have a device that uses the GSM network to send out emails to assigned users.  The software is such that you simply enter the smtp server, username and password and indicate 2 recipient email addresses.

The firmware assumption is that the smtp server is using port 25.  That is why I cannot use smtp.gmail.com.  Google help online shows that one can use aspmx.l.google.com.  If you set this up on outlook, it works.  Put the same configuration on the device and nothing is sent.

I dropped the email host @Alex from google so that I can use the mail.domain.com because it is set by default to port 25 and this works.

Thank you.

Regards

@Odhiambo, I wish I could do that. Although, this works well on printers if we input the SPF within the domain.  Anyway, this is a  government project and they have already invested heavily on the equipment.


Looking at this response keenly again, I am not sure I understood your problem in the first place. Where does SPF come from now?
Is this Sender Policy Framework or some other acronym with a different meaning?
If you are hosting with Google, and paying for it (which I think holds true), then for sure Google engineers should help you. You represent the govt, no?:-)

If you explain your problem well, I can figure out something. This far I need a detailed rephrase of the whole issue.
