Hi, we have one of our email accounts handled by Google Apps (www.google.com/a) but we're having a problem. It seems that any email sent from vB's sendmessage.php never makes it to our inbox. It doesn't get put in the Spam folder, it doesn't get bounced, it just disappears. We have similar results with other formmail type scripts. Can anyone else using Google Apps confirm they get emails from sendmessage.php?

Try a test email:
Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Email
Are any errors reported? Do you receive the email? Try sending a test email to multiple different addresses to ensure that it's not a spam filter problem.
If errors are reported then you need to contact your host to ensure that mail functions are working. Or you can manually specify a SMTP server in your:
Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Email Options
If no errors are reported but you don't receive the email then it's probably a spam filter problem. If you want to make sure the emails are being delivered then you need to consult with your web host to check the mail logs. -
We have the same problem... We think it is related to the issue described in this thread:
Everything is working just fine now. Turned out I did not need to edit any SMTP settings as I was starting to believe.
The culprit of this whole problem was a little option that was activated in the MX Settings of cPanel. After setting the MX Entries I entered as instructed by Google Apps I should have disabled "Always accept mail locally even if the primary MX does not point to this server."www.legaljunkies.comComment

That's very kind of you to provide a solution, thanks
If you are just using Postfix and don't have cPanel, then I fixed the problem (thanks to this) by changing the mydestination line in main.cf to simply:
mydestination = localhost
That stops the server trying to deliver email locally and instead forces out to Google, which is what I wanted. HTH

My site is producing no emails at all. I have the latest version I updated today 5.1.4pl3 when I use the email test it works. My members are getting upset because they receive nothing at all. new members... -
I've had some problems with emails the last few months. It worked perfectly since the beginning of the forum until one day it didn't. The forum got a lot slower at the same time and attachments stopped...
