Chuck, I think you may be confusing your MX records for google with the SMTP server. You are able to connect because the MX server does listen on port 25 and will respond but will not allow you to relay email through it.
Your settings in CF Administrator need to be: server: smtp.gmail.com username: any user on your domain password: well you know Port: 465 Check: Enable SSL socket connections to mail server Check: Enable TLS connection to mail server Don't worry about backups because SMTP is already load balanced on their end. NOTE: Keep in mind that Google's SMTP for domains does one weird thing... it ignores the "From" and will always put in the FROM information for the account you are using to send. This is a security feature they have inacted and it is to keep down spam on their end. Basically you can't "spoof" a user by just putting whatever you want in the from. -J.J.
