Failing forwards to Gmail

While investigating the bounce message issue I noticed the McAfee appliances reporting a lot of failed deliveries to Gmail accounts.  I would hazzard a guess that these are all accounts where a GroupWise rule is forwarding all email.

The rejection message is in the format:

Bounced: 74.125.91.27, 550 5.7.1 Unauthenticated email is not accepted from this domain. a6si10739687qck.146

I sent a message, set up forwarding of all email and then set up delegation of all email to my Gmail account and could not reproduce the problem.  In each test all mail was successfully delivered to my Gmail account.

A quick Google of the issue scored a few hits which indicate that this may be a new global issue, possibly in light of some undocumented change in email handling at Gmail.  Several posts in forums say the problem started in mid January.  Perhaps I should use something other than Google to research the problem!

This issue is taking a back seat to the more pressing NDR bounce issue for now, perhaps they are linked somehow?
