UTM 9 cannot send mail to gmail mail accounts

Hallo Wolfgang,

Holger pointed out the lack of an MX record for gmail.de.  In addition, there's a TXT record v=spf1 -all.

It appears that Google registered gmail.de to prevent domain squatting by people like German businessman Daniel Giersch with whom Google had a long-running lawsuit that was settled in 2012.

HI Bob, 

i have the same issues with gmail.com, same error messages like in  t he  1 post.

 as u can see here, log from today :

any ideas on that ?

it would be also nice to know how to do some basic exim things in the UTM 9,  such as:

/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim retry > /dev/null
/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim reject > /dev/null
/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim wait-remote_smtp > /dev/null
/scripts/eximup --force

Well this changed to a utm 9 DNS problem:

on the firewall:

FW:/root # dig mx gmail.com

Wolfgang, how does your setup compare to DNS best practice?
