It does happen, but it's rare. You have to be a true spammer or phisher to get shut down, and we've found that Google is a lot more lenient with G Suite accounts than regular gmail.com accounts.

> It does happen, but it's rare. How do you know it's rare? Is there a number you can cite? What's that number based on? Like the OP said, getting your G-Suite account banned is pretty catastrophic, so I hope that's not just a(n informed) guess. > Google is a lot more lenient with G Suite accounts than regular gmail.com accounts Can you provide evidence for this assertion?

  I could query my system and get numbers. My comments are based on the number of times I've heard a user say "Google shut down my account." It's maybe once a month. And then when I look at what they were sending, it's pretty spammy. And if you're a G Suite user, and your G Suite domain otherwise has a good reputation, one single user may get "suspended" for 24 hours, but I've never seen a G Suite user permanently banned UNLESS the whole point of creating that G Suite account on a particular domain was to send out mass emails through every single user account.

  Isn’t an opt-in email spam already? Personally I’d prefer to not get opt-in emails (as I’ve already opted in on the website where I put my email into the “subscribe” box) so looks like this product works OK...

    Anyone could enter your email into that subscribe box. You totally want double opt-in.
