They should all work well with Gmail, since it's the most popular recipient, and all popular solutions have deliverability statistics. I'd guess that using Gmail itself via its SMTP service [1] would be the most reliable overall.

Edit: Looks like you can, but Google says it's "not recommended." Also, you need to be a paying Apps member to use the service from what I can tell. Not sure if you can if you aren't a paying member.

- tyingq 11y ago>>But do you need to be a paying Apps member to do this? The issue would likely be the limit on messages per day. Google spells this out for paying Apps members (https://support.google.com/a/answer/2956491#sendinglimitsforrelay https://support.google.com/a/answer/2956491#sendinglimitsfor..., see "Limits Per Customer") They don't say what the limit is if you're using SMTP relay as a regular gmail user. I suspect it's much lower.
