Hello! If you don’t know GMass, we’re an email marketing/cold email/mail merge platform that works inside Gmail. One of the biggest benefits of being inside Gmail? Fantastic deliverability. So I wanted to bring that same reliable deliverability to transactional emails. I built a SMTP relay that sends your transactional emails (aka your essential, business-focused emails) through Gmail’s servers. Just connect to the SMTP service from your website or app and your crucial transactional emails will start going out via Gmail. And it’s free for everyone. Even if you’re not using GMass as your email platform. Why this is useful: ✅ It’s free. ✅ You’ll get open and click tracking data. ✅ It’s really easy to set up. You won’t need to configure DNS records, SPF, DKIM, and more like you would with the usual third-party SMTP service. In fact, it’s less complicated to set up than Gmail’s own SMTP relay — and their SMTP relay doesn’t track your emails. ✅ You can trust your transactional emails will get to your recipients — it’s hard to picture any email servers more reliable than Google’s. ✅ Your transactional emails will be in your Sent folder. That can help you build future mailing lists (for instance, if you’re sending order receipts as transactional emails, you could search for everyone who bought a particular course during a time period). Who this is for: ✅ Anyone sending transactional emails via another SMTP service like SendGrid or AWS SES. ✅ Anyone using WordPress or WooCommerce with an SMTP plugin like WP Mail. ✅ Anyone using an external email client for Gmail that uses a different SMTP service. ✅ Anyone sending emails from a peripheral like a printer or scanner looking for a reliable SMTP option. ✅ Anyone sending a reasonable volume of daily transactional emails. (Since your emails go through Gmail, you’ll need to abide by Gmail’s sending limits. That’s up to 500 total emails per day for free Gmail accounts or up to 2,000 per day for paid Workspace accounts.) (We’re using the SMTP relay ourselves here at GMass to send out welcome messages, campaign notifications, and internal reporting emails.) Wait… you mentioned Gmail has its own SMTP relay, why wouldn’t I just use that? Yes, Gmail has its own relay. But GMass’s relay has several distinct advantages over the native Google offering. ✅ GMass’s relay is simpler to set up. To use Gmail’s relay, you need to change settings in your Google account (including risky ones, like “Allow less secure apps”). ✅ Gmail’s native relay exposes your Google account username and password. ✅ Gmail’s native relay doesn’t provide open and click tracking; GMass’s does. ✅ There’s no trail of messages when you use the Gmail native relay. GMass keeps the audit trail of messages in your sent folder. I hope you get a lot of great use out of the SMTP relay.
