Using Gmail to send emails

Darren Smyth
Is it possible to send emails via Gmail?

I've been using MailGun but (apparently) the shared IP address was blacklisted as the person I was sharing it with was using it for nefarious reasons. This led to emails being blocked.

Whilst MailGun have given me a new IP address, I was told that GSuite will allow me to send emails. All I need to do is configure the app to use the Gmail information.

Is there somewhere I can set this up? I've tried to look but other than change mailer.rb (which I don't want to do!), I can't find a way.

PS. Sorry for the multiple posts recently!

GMail / GSuite does not what you to use it for sending automated / transactional emails. They want you to use it for personal email. They also have a limit of 500 emails a day on GMail, so it's very limited.

Postmark or Sendgrid would be what I would recommend.

I can only dream of having enough subscribers to even need to send 10 emails per day!

OK. Thanks for letting me know it's for personal email.

I think the limits are slightly higher if you have a G-Suite account?

At the moment, 500 would be enough, but yes, I'll continue to use MailGun.
