So you are saying:

Google Apps SMTP -> Google Apps Group (different domain) == FAIL

Fastmail SMTP -> Google Apps Group (different domain) == SUCCESS?

It's been a long time since I looked at this. We did have great internal tools to look up the classification of individual messages, including the top 10 deciding reasons for a given message classification. With a paid Google Apps domain a support rep investigating your ticket would eventually look at this tool to figure out what's going on.

Yup, that's what was happening. Re: a paid account, I decided Fastmail was a better fit for my needs. Besides that, the problem was on the receiving end. So I somewhat disagree that I should have had to pay Google for someone to look into that.

Yup, that's what was happening. Agree about a paid account, but I decided Fastmail was a better fit for my needs.
