Gmail follows a simple one-to-one message communication. First the sender connects to mail security service then it send the message. When message enters the email security block the service filters for spam, viruses and attachments. Then the message is transferred from security block to recipient server. At last the recipient server delivers mail to the respected user.

2. Heck for whether a specific sender all every senders’ messages are not

        forwarding from the recipient server to the user. To test the same an individual

        can send a test message from their other email account to confirm message is         flowing or not.

3. Check Delivery Manager Graphs for further troubleshooting.

4. Run a test for checking routing problems: for this a user need to run the SMTP 

        Message Test.

5. If a particular domain name is set improperly in MX records, mail from that

        particular sender server will never receive the recipient server, hence run a 

        MX record test.

6. Check whether the domain is registered on message security block or not.

7. Recheck Delivery information for wrong recipient address in message security 

        service.

8. Check for possible Deliver errors.

9. Check Spool configuration: In a case where there are no delivery errors, the 

        spool manager set all mail to spool. Here we need to enable manual spooling.

10. There have seen reports where the mail server is accepting message initially 

        but it lost during internal routing.

11. Sometime messages send by a sender are filtered out by the spam filter, thus 

        check for message quarantine.
