So, at least they are progressing. We can see they're working on it
and began with GAFYD accounts.

Since no changes were required on these accounts, my guess is they're
implementing two separate solutions:

1) GAFYD accounts are Google trusted accounts and then they accepts
aliases from trusted user's domain to be sent through their SMTP
relays.

2) Free Gmail accounts are not so trusted and will require a 3rd party
SMTP relay...
