Hi everyone! 🤗 I open this Pandora’s box to hear opinions. 😜 **Use** Gmail to send emails with Mautic, **or don’t use** it so that your Gmail account doesn’t get blocked? Does anyone have a list of “ **cons** ”? Thank you very much for your courage to give your opinion! 💪 ---

Really depends on volume and quality of your lists. Certainly for testing, sure, go for it. Sign-up for a secondary personal gmail account and use it to track your bounces. Good luck. ---

Hi @miamiman This is really for testing purposes as I understand that Gmail/GSuite etc., will block mass mailings as soon as they detect that they exceed what is allowed. Thanks for the tip on the secondary account. 👍
