Email Form Script Problem

I created an email form script which I am currently testing on my site. It is working fine but I am have a small problem. On my receiver email variable:
I am not getting the emails once the form is submitted - not even in the spam folder. If I replace it with a yahoo, hotmail, or excite email account - I get the emails with no problems. It's just when I put the gmail account, I don't get the emails - even though the script does says it sent the email. I have check the logs for errors but there are none. Any suggestions why this might be happening, and only with a gmail account?

Have you tried to email to that gmail account from the command line of that server?

Yes, I tried the command line and I get nothing.

That's something you probably need to discuss with Google. Evidently they are applying some filter or restrictions. Are you receiving "undeliverable" emails? If not, are you listed as the administrative email for your domain?

Ok, I tried something else. I created another gmail account, added to my script, and I got the emails. Then, I put back my old gmail account and I still didn't get anything. The only difference between my old gmail account and the new one that I created, is that the new account doesn't have a period in between the name. What I mean is, my old gmail account is firstname.lastname@gmail.com, and my new account is just firstnameLastname@gmail.com. Could the period be the problem?

Like I said, you need to ask Google web mail tech support.
