Some recipients not receiving through Gmail

Hi all, I'm having a weird, somewhat intermittent problem. Sometimes when sending messages through my Gmail account using Thunderbird the messages don't arrive. The recipients are at various domains so I doubt it's a spam filter.

On one hand, sometimes the messages make it through, and then they don't. There are no error messages and the originals show up in my sent folder on Gmail.

I've taken to BCC'ing my Yahoo account just to make sure that the messages are going out and they are. But today, after I received the message through Yahoo, I was texted asking why I hadn't replied to a question in the conversation. So the message made it to Yahoo but not to the other recipients.

If I use the Gmail web interface there is never a problem.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

is there any consistency about those not getting your mails, like they are all comcast email addresses.

Hey Matt, No, there are at least three different domains.

What domains? And please do not indent your replies.. it messes up the forum software and hence the display of your replies. Yes I learned to write with indents as well but bend to the constraints of the platform..

Hey Matt, gallery.ca, bell.net, and videotron.ca are the three that seem to suffer most.
