Answers.Text: That was very helpful.  We do have SPF configured, but perhaps not quite correctly.  We failed the Google checkmx test.  I am looking into it now.  Thanks!

  Sending emails that appear to come from within the organization but are from an outside server is a common scammer's tactic, and Google is much quicker to not deliver these emails. To get delivery, you'll need to configure an [SPF record](https://support.google.com/a/answer/33786?hl=en). This will improve all-around deliverability - but is 100% required for delivering to your own domain when using GSuite.
