Is this problem on your end or elsewhere? In the last day or so I've gotten several error messages relating to mail sent to various sg addresses in the form:

Why does the error message get through when the original can't? (And strangely enough, the error message contains a copy of the message that can't be deliverd!)

weird -- looks like our server was having a hard time getting through to the gmail server?

I think this happens A LOT Josh and I mean A LOT I mean A LOT.

Is there anyways to fix this or repair or whatever you do to combat this problem? I do get the emails well most of them but in somecases I do not at all. Which is really odd.

I hope the compatability with SG to Gmail I hope gets a little better... Cause I do tend to get kinda ansy when a time fram of 2-4hours to days where I dont get any emails at all from others Kinda well gets to me. ;P

This appears to be related to the general slowness of SG (NOTE: I am NOT an administrator). There is another thread that has been following an issue of lost mail and general slowness titled "Mail is not being forwarded today!". I suggest you see that one.
