I don’t use Google mail, but I have had the problem.  It turned out that I had to convert my mail to Plain Text or it wouldn’t go through.  Backserv doesn’t like HTML, etc.  I don’t know if this is your problem, but I thought that I would mention it.

Ian,

Two or three years ago that was my experience, so we quit trying to use Google Mail for backserv. A couple of weeks ago, I thought about trying it again, but maybe not, considering your inquiry!

Is there anyone here who is

1. A member of backserv; and

2. Finds that one's attempts to post messages fail without explanation, sent but never seen or delivered to anyone?

If you have had this problem, is your institution making use of Google Mail?
