directadmin/exim not delivering email from phpsendmail to (same) google apps domain

Question

I've been trying to figure this one out for a while.

We use Magento. And it sends order emails to customers from the address contact@domain.com through php sendmail. A BCC or separate email is sent (as a copy) to contact@domain.com

The customer receives the email. But the BCC or separate email to contact@domain.com never arrives in our google apps account (sent from contact@domain.com to contact@domain.com).

Help appreciated.

We followed this http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=8

Even this shell command does not reach the contact@domain.com emailbox

echo "Test" | mail -s "Test" contact@domain.com

exim bt output

[domain@vpsxxxx ~]$ exim -bt contact@domain.com
contact@domain.com
