Problems reported sending emails via Gmail account

14:01 on 10th Jan

We are aware of an issue affecting some users sending emails using a Gmail account when changing the 'Send As' address to the service email address. As the emails are not being sent via our servers they do not include a DKIM signature, which can result in failed authentication checks. This can then result in the receiving server rejecting the email or marking it as spam.This can be resolved by sending emails via our servers using one of the following methods:
  1. Send emails using our Webmail program
  2. Add your service email address to Gmail using SMTP
Please note: SMTP is not included with Free Webmail accounts.You can check which of our email packages you are using by logging into your account and going to the My Account page (see button in the top right of Webmail)If you wish to, you are can upgrade an account so that includes SMTP by please doing the following:
  • Go to the My Account page
  • Click See Upgrades, select a package or bolt on and proceed to checkout.
