calculus, for now. I bet in a bit, provided that you don’t change any other behaviors, that these emails will eventually be rejected too.
Of course. This is just a tell-tale about sending yourself the output of crontab runs towards Gmail — apparently, it may result in the whole domain becoming blacklisted. […]
This is done by all the big players, but Microsoft is the most aggressive.
Microsoft and Outlook are kind of irrelevant nowadays. Even the big enterprise companies are often on G Suite nowadays. […]
Also, free is free. If you pay for G-Suite, then the admin gets a LOT of extra bonuses that anyone would expect out of a paid mailbox. I don’t know about G-Suites (wouldn’t touch the stuff personally), but you can get a O365-hosted exchange mailbox for like $5/month these days with all the aliases you need and all the post-processing transport rules you want. In line with the paid Microsoft mailbox – an email does not get delivered for no reason except in the rarest of cases. The same is not true with the free mailboxes hosted by Microsoft or Google.
You're ignoring several issues here: * First of all, it doesn't seem like acceptance rules are different between Gmail and G Suite. TBH, I think that's actually a good thing, because it means that there's potentially a higher likelihood that if you can see the message in your own Gmail, then so could your business partners in their G Suite. * I am actually not just a free used of Gmail, but a paying customer. They've tricked me into believing that I'll have unlimited storage space; yet then the quota stopped growing at 15GB, but my mailing list archives did not, so, now I'm forced to pay 1,99 USD/mo for continued ability to receive the mail. * You're assuming that all those controls within G Suite actually work. It's been mentioned elsewhere in this thread that they don't actually seem to work, after all. See https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2019-October/103842.html. Not to mention that the bigger issue is that G Suite has a pretty good monopoly on corporate mail nowadays, so, even though I could rather easily abandon my own Gmail account, I cannot quite stop dealing with other people's G Suite accounts any time soon.
