This will update your domain name and you will be able to send or receive email from gmail with your sender identity. Gmail will no more act you as unauthenticated mail sender .
Still, if you see that you are receiving email without authentication then contact to your hosting provider and use webmail for reply any mail for your domain notification email. Still same problem ? Go to your wordpress website general settings and change the admin email as admin@yourdomain.com for it you have to setup admin@yourdomain email from your web hosting provider. Knock them for activate your admin@yourdomain.com email. Hosting provider will help you to setup this email.
To integrate your webmail with gmail you have to go gmail settings then click on import then add your hosting webmail email address with your webmail login password. From now on if any email you will receive you can reply from gmail or you can login webmail to reply the mail.
