: Google Business Email Will Not Receive Online Web Form Sent Mail I use Google to manage my email addresses associated with my domain name. I have written a simple script here to allow people
I use Google to manage my email addresses associated with my domain name. I have written a simple script here to allow people to contact me from my website via the form on the page. It will send to almost any email address except for the ones I've created with Google Business. I have contacted my host in regard for it, and I have contacted Google, but neither have provided working solutions.
I considered setting up dummy emails through cPanel, directing the web form script to them, and then forwarding all the mail to my default email address managed with Google business, but Horde, Squirrel Mail, and other email interface softwares don't seem to include a forwarding feature.
Any ideas?

This is a common problem when sending mail from a site on a shared hosting account that has its mail hosted offsite.
What your host needs to do is disable local mail delivery for your domain name. Depending on what control panel they offer you, you may even be able to do this yourself. For example, in cPanel (which you might have access to at example.com/cpanel, where example.com is your domain), you can navigate to 'Remote MX Wizard' under the E-mail heading (it might be named slightly differently depending on the version of cPanel your host uses) and there will be options in here to disable local delivery (the option may also be labelled 'use a remote mail exchanger').
This will be different if your host uses a different control panel. Either way, your host should be able to help you with this. You might need to spell it out, because some hosting level 1 support teams tend to not immediately pick up on solutions to non-straight-forward problems ;)
