Having to use a Google product instead of your own mail server, in order to have your email delivered to Google customers, sounds like anti-competitive business

Having to use a Google product instead of your own mail server, in order to have your email delivered to Google customers, sounds like anti-competitive business practices to me. You'd think they'd be a wee bit more careful with something like that given EU interest in them...
- theflyingkiwi42 11y agoIt also isn't enough. Some of our gmail users' email (sent through the gmail smtp server with oauth) will be marked as spam in gmail. Very frustrating!
- chc 11y agoI doubt there are very many lawyers on the spam protection team. I also doubt the people on that team have any intention of harming minor-league competition. So it's not particularly surprising that they aren't more careful about avoiding something that a) is not well-known to them, and b) they don't think they are doing.
- npizzolato 11y agoYour mail server isn't real competition to Gmail. Yahoo and Outlook probably are, but considering Gmail handles their mail fine, I'm not sure "anti-competitive" is the right angle here.
