Setting up Google apps to receive and Linode to send emails?
I will have a main domain and a sub-domain. Both will have their own separate email addresses. I.e. @domain.com and @sub.domain.com
Both will have the set-up as explained below.
Will use Google apps to receive emails but would like to use Linode to send emails to avoid the Google app's sending limit (for registration+news letter emails)
I searched on this forum, library as well as on the internet but haven't found the exact instruction of this.
Now my questions are -
1. Is it doable?
2. If yes - what are the procedure.
Any guides/instruction will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Installing postfix will make your scripts send emails such as registration, forget password etc.
Then set up google apps account and update mx record by going to dns manager here at linode.

Don't consider myself to be expert to answer to this but I went through this a few weeks back.

Hi Sami,
Have you done the same? Are you using postfix and google apps at a time? When you send an email what does the header show on the recipients email?
My set up doesn't sync google apps emails and emails from the scripts. (any registration email sent from the server won't show in sent folder of google apps email).

I am concern about the thing that it shows " by mx.google.com" that means my mails are going through Gmail.
I am trying to avoid gmail while sending mails but want to use gmail to receive.
Any ideas what do I need to do?
@hoopycat:
Are you sending to a Gmail/Google Apps-hosted address? If so, the message will show that the message went through Gmail, because it went to Gmail.
Ahhhhh! that make sense! Gonna chek yahoo and hotmail to see what do they show
