Could this Google thing also be why I can't receive an attachment from
Spain? I'm in the United States.

That line was truncated. Fixed that one.
However, like I said, Google is refusing mails with a source address
that
don't pass various rules they have, which is in violation of RFC 5321.
And the silly think is that the error Google gives refers to RFC 5321 as a
reason why they are refusing.
As the source address should be used when reporting any problems back, I
cannot
really fake it either, without potentially loosing more information.
I'm going to try and ping people at Google, but I do not have very high
hopes of this being resolved. So the answer might just be that Google is
broken, and you should avoid it.
I'll poke some google friends and see if anyone is in the mail team.
The original mail is attached below.
(it isn't)
It should have been. Have been all the time I tested. Strange. Are you
sure?

Google won't play nice,
neith
will my
ISP or my VPS.
But that is another story.
Many ISPs won't let you talk SMTP yourself, but you are expected to use
their
mailer as a relay. Might that be what you are seeing?
