Hello, I’m testing to send an email with “echo test | mail myemail@gmail.com” and I can receive the email. But not to my google apps email (echo test | mail myemail@xxxx.com). I dont receive that email (already checked the spam folder as well). There should not be any issue with the DNS I believe as I can send/receive the Google apps email as usual from external source.
I’m asking this because the Contact Form 7 in my website doesnt work. When I changed to my personal gmail I do receive it. So I come down to this testing process and that’s what I encountered.
Here’s my DNS zone file $ORIGIN xxxxxx.com. $TTL 1800 xxxxxx.com. IN SOA ns1.digitalocean.com. hostmaster.xxxxxx.com. 1415421753 10800 3600 604800 1800 xxxxxx.com. 1800 IN A 128.199.149.199 xxxxxx.com. 1800 IN NS ns1.digitalocean.com. xxxxxx.com. 1800 IN NS ns2.digitalocean.com. xxxxxx.com. 1800 IN NS ns3.digitalocean.com. www.xxxxxx.com. 1800 IN A 128.199.149.199 xxxxxx.com. 1800 IN MX 1 aspmx.l.google.com. xxxxxx.com. 1800 IN MX 5 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com. xxxxxx.com. 1800 IN MX 5 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com. xxxxxx.com. 1800 IN MX 10 aspmx2.googlemail.com. xxxxxx.com. 1800 IN MX 10 aspmx3.googlemail.com.
Why can’t I receive email in my Google Apps here? Thanks for any help.

Are you using sendmail?
I have the same problem before, if your droplet’s hostname is the same as the receiving domain.
sendmail will deliver the mail locally.
You may verify that by checking /var/mail/<myemail>.
You can follow this post to disable sendmail’s local delivery.
