Anthony,
There was no need to redirect hosting back, you should have asked your ISP to provide you with an smtp server on port 25, which is your need. SMTP and POP/IMAP service are unrelated and don't have to be on the same server/provider

@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.

@Frank and @Amanya, the smtp.gmail.com cannot work because we normally declare the ports.

As I said, it is a unique situation.  The device uses a modem to remotely report data.  I called the google offices to get help and I got transferred 3 times and no solution yet.

I simply redirected my mail back to the hosting service.

Its interesting what we face as techies and the challenge is how we can circumvent them.

Thank you.

Regards
