When accessing the mailbox from multiple geographical regions, Google's servers may think this is an unauthorized attempt to access the mailbox. This error does NOT mean that credentials are invalid.
You also will receive an email from google with a subject of "Suspicious sign in prevented" that instructed you to change the password.
the involved hostname and IP are
ns01.servermx.com IP 94.23.23.98
With this error Google may block access to the mailbox because it believes the access may be unauthorized.
To resolve this issues you do not need to change your password but just log in to your gmail account from your usual location this should confirm that the host mx1.servermx.com IP 188.165.200.114 is a safe.

Outgoing messages are rejected with ERROR: Your sender domain differs from the domain used for the authentication
You need to change the personality used in your client. The domain name used for the sender must be the same used for the authentication.
For example the userid="yourname@yourdomain.tld" can only send emails with the sender having the domain "yourdomain.tld".
If you need to break this rule please open a ticket.
My emailbox is rejecting some big emails
Our email server rejects incoming/outgoing emails when the size of the emails is bigger than 20MB or 50MB (it depends from the package)
In this case the error message is similar to the following (when the limit is 20MB)
Message size 28944193 is larger the limit {20971520} for {...@....com}
Incoming and outgoing messages have the size limit of 20MB or 50MB
(*) Keep in mind that the actual size of your emails is bigger than the file you attach to it because the email is base64 coded

My forward doesn't work immediately
When you set up a forward you need to check whether the recipient put emails in gray-list before accepting them.
In this case emails need to wait in the queue until our system re-submit them for delivering.
If you change or remove your forward when messages are still in the queue (for gray-listing) then theses messages cannot be delivered to the original recipient.
You need to wait until our system re-submit emails and this might take a couple of minutes.
