My bet, not knowing more about the specific setup, is that you're using the Cox SMTP server to send email "originating" from the GMail account. Since so many spammers try to impersonate every web-based email service out there (ever notice how much spam claims to come from yahoo.com, but really routed from some random tier-3 country net?) a lot of servers reject any email from Yaho/GMail/MSN/etc... unless it has a valid DomainKey signature and routes from that service's domain. The only way I know around it is to use the GMail web interface for email hosted on GMail. With the stupidity of Cox blocking SMTP, it's going to get progressively harder to send any email unless it has your @cox.com address in the from field (I don't even remember what mine is!). Unless/until Cox gets their collective heads out of their collective wallets, I don't see much in the way of options to get around that at the moment... P.S.
