    I'm sure you can only e-mail within your google apps domain or gmail account, depending on what you use as the sender address. I've never been able to send to a non google apps/gmail account via aspmx.l.google.com the MFP may say it's sent but it never arrives.

        According to Google support, https://support.google.com/a/answer/176600?hl=en, you will be restricted to send messages to Gmail or Google Apps users only. I have used my gmail account in the past to test sending, but I cannot remember if I have tried it using one of the google apps account as the sender or if I used my account as the sender.

          We have used Comcast's email servers with no problems. They sometimes need to use port 587 if the customer's ISP has blocked port 25 and they do not require SSL.

          The other option I used to do was to setup an SMTP server on the customer's computer using the built in SMTP server option in Windows XP. I have not done that in quite a long time but by doing a little googling, it looks as though you can do this on Windows 7 as well, depending on the version. SMTP Setup for Windows 7

          Good luck.
