Generally, here is how email service should work:
Outgoing mail:
+-------------+
{Java Apps} -- smtp.gmail.com:587 --> | Gmail SMTP | ----> {recipient}
+-------------+
Imcomming mail:
+----------+ +-------------+
{sender} -- abc@myFakeCompany.com --> | DNS (MX) + ----> | Gmail Inbox |
+----------+ +-------------+
You just need to instruct your domain's DNS to route all email traffic to Gmail by the following MX records:
MX: @ 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
MX: @ 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
MX: @ 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
MX: @ 10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
MX: @ 10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
Note:
The ending dot (.) must be there.
The @ sign stands for the domain itself.
The lower number has the higher priority.

I have created a business account via:
kttp://www.google.com/a/
on domain: myFakeCompany.com
With the followin settings
// authentication
final String username = "email-from@myFakeCompany.com";
final String password = "password";
// email information
String from = "email-from@myFakeCompany.com";
String to = "email-to@gmail.com";
I can make all my outgoing emails be seen on destination as:
from: email-from@myFakeCompany.com
to: email-to@gmail.com

subject: Testing Subject
mailed-by: gmail.com
OK, I can send out email via my business account -- that's not surprising. But when my client replied my email to 'email-from@myFakeCompany.com', I did not get anything. Now what?
