I have setup email with my domain in Google Apps, but when I did, I did something they asked to protect me from spam mail. (I guess I added some TXT or MX records.)
But now I miss a lot of email because Google thinks they are spam!
I want to remove this settings and I don't have any idea what to do. I checked my MX and TXT records but couldn't find anything understandable. I also checked the dashboard of Google Apps.

The DNS record that Google had you add "to prevent spam" is a type of
TXT
record called anSPF
(for "Sender Policy Framework"). However, it has nothing to do with email that you receive, only email that you send. The SPF basically tells other email servers that only certain locations are authorized to send email on your behalf, in this case, only Google servers. Wikipedia has a good explanation of SPF records.There are several possible reasons that email would not come to your
Inbox
orSpam
folder.All Mail
andTrash
folders to see if there are messages there.Filters
tab.None of these cases has anything to do with Google's spam filter. As far as I know, Google does not make decisions about putting mail in your spam folder or throwing it out. I think that they put it all in the Spam folder and let you handle where ti goes from there (or it gets deleted automatically when it has been there for 30 days).
