Because, to pick just one example from many, Gmail will automatically route your email to the spam folder of your @gmail.com recipient. There are many hoops you have to jump through, and you don’t yet know what they are. So, read up on it and drive in. You’ll learn soon enough. It’s not impossible, and your newsletters aren’t business critical, if they get lost. BTW, “I wish” and “I would think” don’t work with email in the 21st century, as others have explained. P.S. you might just get a $50 Fastmail account and send via their servers. But, be sure to give your readers a way to unsubscribe, and be diligent about keeping the unsubscribe actions current. FM has generous limits on amount and frequency.
