Mike, I'm not clear as to what you are trying to accomplish in this 
complicated setup.  You, or someone else, suggested running mail through 
Google where the current mail provider doesn't provide IMAP.  I followed the 
suggestion and it is working very well.

It appears that what Gmail does is retrieve mail via POP from your other mail 
account and tag it in the Gmail inbox with a label identifying the other 
account.  Nothing complicated, and it helps in situations where users can't 
forward the other account's mail.

I'm not sure why you would need EveryDNS or Postfix for this.
