Important:
You can use a public mail server such as Gmail or Yahoo as the Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server. However, there are some limitations with
these web-based SMTP servers.
Emails sent using Web-based SMTP servers are likely to be marked as spam
by mail clients including Outlook. Guest Users need to be made aware of this
so that they do not overlook the mail.
Yahoo SMTP comes with a strict limit of 500 outbound emails per day (and
each message can be sent up to 100 recipients), to prevent spammers from
using it for their unsolicited messages.
Gmail SMTP comes with severe sending limits to prevent spammers from
using its outgoing server to blast out garbage emails. The boundary is 100
recipients a time and 500 messages per day. If you cross this restriction,
Google blocks your account.
Google blocks sign-in attempts from unknown sources. To avoid this issue,
you need to allow access to apps to get authenticated. You can find this
option in your Google Account Security Setting. Select Allow less secure
apps as ON to use these non-Google apps and devices despite the risks. For
more information, see Let less secure apps access your account.
