Is it possible to use a private email address to send emails from systeme.io ?
In this article, we'll see if it's possible to use a private email address such as Yahoo, Gmail, Laposte, Protonmail, Zohomail... etc to send your emails from systeme.io.
Due to recent security enhancements by major providers like Gmail.com and Yahoo.com, the use of email addresses from various free domains is now restricted.
Email addresses from “general” domains are no longer allowed, except for the following domains:
Outlook.com, Outlook.fr, Hotmail.com, Hotmail.fr, Live.fr and Live.com.
It's important to understand that this restriction aims to improve the security and reliability of email communications. Free domain email addresses are often more susceptible to spam and misuse, which can affect the delivery of legitimate emails.
We strongly recommend using a custom domain name for professional communications. To send emails through systeme.io using a custom business email address, the domain must be authenticated. This authentication verifies the legitimacy of emails sent from your domain, thereby enhancing deliverability and increasing recipient trust.
We encourage you to adhere to this new policy and consider transitioning to an authenticated custom domain name for your business communications.
Here are a few examples of forbidden domains and why they are forbidden:
Yahoo
Yahoo doesn't allow sending emails from servers other than its own. They use an email authentication mechanism called DMARC.
So if you try to send emails with your Yahoo.com address from systeme.io or any other software, your emails will be rejected by the receiving mail servers and won’t reach their destination.
Laposte
Laposte protects its domain with DMARC, so messages sent from an email address on this domain may be blocked due to DMARC failures.
Zoho (Zohomail)
The DMARC rejection policy is also active on the Zoho domain, making it impossible to use an email address linked to this domain to send emails.
Protonmail
Protonmail has a quarantine policy for emails sent with its domain outside its servers, so emails sent are received in the spam folder.
Gmail
On 01.02.2024, Gmail implemented new policies that significantly increase the risk of your emails being rejected or classified as spam if you use a Gmail.com email address to send them from an autoresponder.
Due to these risks and their potential negative impact on email deliverability, we decided to restrict the use of Gmail.com addresses as sender email addresses on systeme.io starting July 16, 2024.
To guarantee the highest deliverability, we strongly recommend that you use a professional email address (e.g. @yourcompany.com). This is particularly crucial if you send more than 5,000 emails a day, as Gmail will consider you a mass sender, increasing the probability that your emails will be filtered as spam.
As for the still allowed domains, these are Microsoft email addresses. Although you can still send emails from systeme.io using addresses such as Outlook, Hotmail, or Live, we strongly recommend limiting their use. These addresses can indeed be flagged as spam, which will harm the deliverability of your emails.
Recommended solution:
We invite systeme.io users to reduce the use of this type of free addresses and to opt for using a domain name + email address, it only costs a few dollars per year (click here to see the prices).
