Hmmmmmm. I'm not sure what would happen if you just pointed your MX records at Google. When putting GA in place, they give you specific MX records to use.
If you just point email at Gmail, then when you send email it'll be "really" coming from a [email protected] address, rather than yours. I guess you could try it, and see?! GA just takes a little time to set up, and it's designed to do this.

I can still point my MX records at Google's mail servers and send/retrieve my dvdmon.com mail via gmail, right?
