Google Apps Email Bounces for few uses

0

I have two domains Google Apps (for argument sake - a.com and b.com).

I have setup the mx records according to what Google recommended for both the domains.

I receive all emails on a.com and mostly all on b.com. I mention mostly as I have few set of users who complain that they get a message from mailer-daemon

This is the email they forwarded (they are using exchange IMO) to my a.com domain telling that their email to my other domain are not going through. This tells me that it may not be Google apps.

I see that their SMTP server is trying to deliver this message to itservicecompany.com - I am not sure who their are - they are not senders.

This question does not belong on SU. Recommend moving it to ServerFault. – BBlake – 2014-08-19T13:54:02.080

Looks like you moved the Email from other provider to Google Apps, just double check that the user is in fact using Google Apps and not your previously setup Mail Server. Since there are none of the Gmail IPs or Domains in the email that you posted. – Eduardo Romero – 2014-08-19T17:33:47.940

We have moved to Google Apps for more than a year now. It's not just with one user - it happens with all of them (very randomly - one in few hundreds). The same email goes to another domain which is hosted on Google Apps too. All MX records point to Google Apps recommended records. I am a bit stumped. – user378464 – 2014-08-20T04:18:05.413

From the header shown by you :

Received: from smtp23.relay.ord1a.emailsrvr.com (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1])
    by smtp23.relay.ord1a.emailsrvr.com (SMTP Server) with ESMTP id 7228E1C8265
    for <**user@itservicecompany.com>**; Wed,  4 Dec 2013 22:51:49 -0500 (EST)

So the server is using localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) instead of the actual IP address of the server hostname. This is the reason for the Email rejection.

To understand this please check SMTP error codes

Any idea on why it would use localhost instead of the actual IP? Is it the fault of the server at the sender's end? – user378464 – 2014-08-20T04:21:41.157
