Okay I have just contacted Google Customer Support. The conclusion is there is a bug at their system.Google Workspace Gmail Setup has changed. Start from April 2023, all new account will be using the following MX record:SMTP.GOOGLE.COMYes, just a single one MX record is required.If your Google Workspace (or GSuite) is setup before April 2023, the MX records will be as follow:ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.ALT3.APSMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.Here is the official announcement/documentation for this change:https://support.google.com/a/answer/174125And at the Google Admin Console > Gmail Activation PageAfter you have added the new MX record correctly: smtp.google.comThe Gmail Activation Page will still not able to identify this MX record and gmail service remains unactivated. This is a bug. In reality, once the new MX record added (smtp.google.com), the gmail has already start working.They will fix in the near future, and therefore the error will be temporary.
