Hi,
I am not sure if my domtool config is wrong, but I am seeing some issues 
with receiving emails on my Google Apps hosted account.

I want email sent to the domain sastry.name to be handled by Google 
Apps. My domtool config for the domain is as follows:
om "sastry.name" where
   DocumentRoot = home "public_html/sastry.name";
   HandleMail = false;
with
   dnsMail 1 "aspmx.l.google.com";
   dnsMail 20 "alt1.aspmx.l.google.com";
   dnsMail 20 "alt2.aspmx.l.google.com";
   dnsMail 30 "aspmx2.googlemail.com";
   dnsMail 30 "aspmx3.googlemail.com";
   dnsMail 30 "aspmx4.googlemail.com";
   dnsMail 30 "aspmx5.googlemail.com";
   (* dnsMail 100 "mail.hcoop.net";*)
   (* The MX records for mail to be handled by google *)
   relayMail;

   dnsAlias "mail" "ghs.google.com";
   (* redirect mail.sastry.name to google hosted email interface *)

   dnsAlias "portal" "ghs.google.com";
   (* redirect portal.sastry.name to google hosted frontpage *)

   (* SPF record to help avoid being classified as spam *)
     dnsDefaultText "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all";

   (* simpleWeb "srikanth" "public_html/srikanth.sastry"; *)
   simpleWeb "shankar" "public_html/shankar.sastry";

   wordPress "sridhara" where
     DocumentRoot = home "public_html/sridhara.sastry";
   end;
   web "srikanth" where
     DocumentRoot = home "public_html/srikanth.sastry";
   with
     location "/" with
       rewriteCond "%{REQUEST_URI}" "^(/component/option,com)" 
[cond_nocase, ornext];
       rewriteCond "%{REQUEST_URI}" "(/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$" 
[cond_nocase];
       rewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}" "!-f" [];
       rewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}" "!-d" [];
       rewriteRule "(.*)" "index.php" [last];
     end;
     location "/photos" with
         rewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}" "!-f" [];
         rewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}" "!-d" [];
         rewriteRule "/photos/." "/photos/index.php" [last];
     end;
   end;
end;

However, when I run "domtool-admin describe sastry.name", I still see 
mail.hcoop.net in the MX records for sastry.name. here's the relevant 
snippet:
--------------------------------------------------------------
DNS zonefile contents:
--------------------------------------------------------------

sastry.name.    172800    IN    NS    ns1.hcoop.net.

sastry.name.    172800    IN    TXT    "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"

srikanth.sastry.name.    172800    IN    A    69.90.123.68

--------------------------------------------------------------
Default e-mail alias:
--------------------------------------------------------------

*@sastry.name: sastry at localhost

--------------------------------------------------------------
E-mail relaying is on.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Strangely, I am able to send emails to email addresses at sastry.name 
except that all emails sent from a gmail address are not being 
delivered! Is there something wrong/missing from my domtool config?

Thanks
-srikanth
