op, you're using Gmail to send emails to new users. Bad idea. Google will catch on soon and ban you. I'd switch to another provider asap.

- yumraj 14y agoNot OP, but curious. Please elaborate? Does Google not like if it is used as a SMTP service, by startups? Also, any suggestions for mail providers?
- wilfra 14y agoWhat they don't like are spammers and this is going to trip their spam blocking mechanisms pretty quickly. Best way I've found is to use your own mailserver or alternatively to use something like Sendgrid.
- juskrey 14y agoThey say 500 emails a day and you are blocked, but I personaly remember to be locked after 100 automated emails or something.
- gommm 14y agoFor those cases, https://mandrillapp.com/ https://mandrillapp.com/ is good. It's fast to setup and free for less than 12 000 emails. It's my go to email provider for all side projects (do not forget to set DKIM and SPF though, otherwise your emails will be marked as being sent via mandrill in gmail and a few email softwares)
