XF 1.2 Email Options Setup

[TheSalt]

Hello All!

I'm 100% sure this info is out there but I cant find it all. I keep ending up HERE and that info hasn't helped. I'm wondering if there is any update info on outgoing mail as that thread is almost 4 years old? I'm using shared hosting at godaddy. Last night I set up an email and registered the domain with gmail but I still haven't figured it out. To be complete honest I have no idea what I'm doing and could really use an idiots guide to set this up. Can anyone help?

Many thanks!

From what it looks like, he's not using Google Apps (at least what I consider Google Apps where you have them host your domain) since he has a @gmail.com extension.
With Google Apps you can set (easily) postfix to perform the relay to it.

Yes I tried both. I had another address I used google apps and the domain with but that one didn't work. I'm sure I was doing something wrong I just don't know what. After 4 days of searching and trying I used the add-on. Plus I was talking to go daddy (my host) and they only allow 25o emails a day and my understanding is Google allows 500.
