How to forward auto-generated mails? - email

I'm using Confluence and I want to send every Confluence user the daily notifications of the changes on it without making them to suscribe that notifications manually. All my Confluence users are members of a Yahoo group, so I want to send that message to the group automatically to make my Confluence users receive it.
My first idea was to create a user in Confluence whose email address was the same as the Yahoo group, and suscribe only that user to the notifications, so the mail will be received by all the members of the group (which are the same as Confluence users). I tried it but Confluence does not send the mail to the Yahoo account (I don't know why). The outgoing mail server is well-configured, because I receive the notifications in my email account (I'm suscribed manually to the notifications).
I supposed that the problem was with Yahoo mail or maybe with Yahoo Groups, so I decided to use an intermediate email account (I could solve it with Google Grous, but I need to avoid managing another group), and I used Gmail. I configured the forwarding, but it does not work with autogenerated mails, so I tried it with hotmail, but I have the same problem.
Does anybody know how to solve it?

Gmail does not forward autogenerated mails, but if you use a mail client like Thunderbird or Outlook, the mails are forwarded.

How does an SMTP server resolve ambiguity?

Suppose I own an email 'demo#gmail.com'. Now, I create a new Microsoft account using my existing email. Thus I get another email 'demo#gmail.com', but this one is served by Microsoft.
So the situation is: one email and two providers.
If I send a hello email to 'demo#gmail.com' using my personal SMTP server, to which of the above will it send: will it send to the one hosted by Microsoft or the one hosted by Google?
How does it solve such an ambiguity? What are the factors that influence this?
This is a very common problem because many providers are giving us an option to create a new account using our existing email.
My observations:
I saw the emails inside the inboxes of both the services. I found that they had completely different emails.
There was no email which was common to both the inboxes. So there must be some mechanism to deal with it.
Let us look at the problem the other way round: If I had an email 'demo#outlook.com' initially and I created a new Google Account with this email address, then:
An email sent to this email address from another gmail account goes to the Google's server. An email sent to this email address from an Outlook also goes to the Google's servers.
There are two different ways of looking up an email. The 'normal' way:
You send an email to an server, in this example gmail.com.
Your mail delivery agent looks for mx record of gmail.comand send it to the ip-address of gmail.com.
If an email is delivered locally by the domain outlook.com it perhaps doesn't lookup the mx record, but lookups in a local database if the email-address exist there, and sends it to the ip-address of the outlook.com.
I think in the inbox of outlook.com are only microsoft emails.

Detecting if emails send by our application is marked as spam

We are developing an application that will send periodic updates and notifications to users as email. The user can opt-in and opt-out of this service via a subscribe option. However we are finding that some users are making the email as spam and as a result our account is getting suspended... Is there any way to track if our emails has been marked as Spam by a user, so that we can stop sending emails to them...
We have a GSuite service and are using Gmail SMTP to send emails
No.
But you can check if your domain is on any blacklist with tools like mxtoolbox.com. And contact those blacklists with the question what you could do to be removed from the list.
In order for a mail to be classified as spam it has to fail a multitude of tests maybe your mails have specific words in the title or the senders address is way to weird or the header is getting corrupted in a certain way or and maybe that's your problem: many people are custom filtering your emails as junk/spam.

Can I post a new topic on a google group using Go?

I'm writing a program that should send emails to multiple users with content extracted from an excel spreadsheet. I know how to do this using the net/smtp package in Go, but I would like to know if it's possible to send an email with the sender being a google group (i.e googlegroup#gmail.com) instead of my email without resorting to using the gmail API? Currently I have a working program that can log in through an email and password, which is then used for auth credentials, but seeing as that google groups don't have the same kind of interface I'm not quite sure how to change it so emails are sent from a group instead of an individual user.
Each google group should have an email address associated with it. golang-nuts is golang-nuts#googlegroups.com for example. Any mail sent to that should be posted to the group, assuming it is from a member of the group.
In order to send from your own gmail account, you can use gmail's outgoing smtp feature with the net/smtp package. Configuration is explained better on this digital ocean post

How can I connect my colledge email to Outlook Live?

I am a student at Kennesaw State University. The college email is connected with GMail as the web client, but I cant find a way to connect the PoP (or IMAP, even though PoP is the only one Outlook stated) servers to Outlook (or any other clients). I want to do this so I can have one universal client for all of my mail accounts.
There are many... http://www.k-state.edu/its/zimbra/help/email_clients/ol2003.html http://www.k-state.edu/its/zimbra/help/email_clients/ol2007.html
..."official" guides on how to do this, but no one has had any luck. I want to not only receive, but send emails from this account.
Has anyone had any luck doing this (I think some companies use the same google GMail set-up).
I would like to add that there is the same issue with Zimbra.

Google Apps Admin get a copy of each incoming / outgoing mail in my Inbox

I've a domain and I've successfully configured Email service via Google Apps.
I've created 5 email accounts too.
Now I want to track all the incoming/ outgoing emails.
Is there any way, if any person(among those 5 persons), sends or receives an email, I want a copy of that email in my inbox too automatically.
Thanks in advance.
You can use GAM and Audit monitors to get a copy of a users mail sent and received. You'll also see Chats and Draft messages with an email monitor:

This feature requires Google Apps for Business or Education.

I am not sure you can receive a copy in another account but you can configure each of the accounts to delegate access to your account so that you can view their sent/received messages. It is more manual than you would like however.

The best way to do that with out going into the GAM and use the audit, is to configure mail forwarding for each email by going into the gmail account interface.
Another solution that can be used, is to create an external gmail email, and use the google apps email routing to send all the emails to the external one.
On the external one you can just do what ever you want with the email, such as filtering by receiver and forwarding it to your selected destination.
Hope my answer helped a bit.
