0x8004020E error while sending email via batch

Hi everyone

I'm getting this error while sending emails via batch from Ax 2009 (SP1, RU8) :

Method 'send' in COM object of class 'CDO.Message' returned error code 0x8004020E (<unknown>) which means: <unknown>.

From what I can tell (https://msdaxerp.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/cdo-message-returned-error-code/), the error code means:

The server rejected the sender address. The server response was: %1

Here are some observations:

- There are no customizations involved here. Everything used here is standard Ax

- Email parameters are configured correctly (using google smpt relay server)

- This error occurs whether the username is filled in or not (no password supplied)

- All public ips are whitelisted on the server, so no authentication requirement

- I can send emails from the server via Telnet

- I can send emails from Ax via job (client sided code), (but only if the from address is within the domain. This is a good indication to me that things are configured correctly)

- The the batch job of the report sending and the email distribution job both run using an admin account. The error occurs if this account has a completely invalid email address, a correct email address, or no email address at all

- There are no visible stops/blocks on the SMTP side

I've looked at several posts but none have helped. Some include:

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
