Comment on Google to discontinue allowing send as an external account in Jan. 2027

Comments

From the perspective of someone who receives tons of spam, I find it's a good thing.

From the perspective of someone who had to do a lot of administrative work by hand to increase reputation of ips because of some guy had his email hacked to send lot of spam, I find it's a good thing.

From the perspective of someone who uses the free SMTP service of Google to send emails from a not gmail domain where there is no SMTP, well it's uncomfortable. There are solutions, paid solutions, but still.

Is it really a responsibility of Google to provide a qualitative free SMTP service for other domain names ? I don't think so.

Not applicable for me. I have GMail send emails from you@x.com using the SMTP service of the web hosting company I manage that account through. I am not using GMail's own SMTP servers handle sends.

It's all on the up and up.
