#2It's weird that they are actively discouraging us from using external mail inside gmail. Like, you would think they want us sucking down all our scannable data into their system and staying inside the wall.

I'd imagine the adoption of DMARC, SPF, DKIM, etc. have just functionally killed the feature.

#4This will probably grenade the plans for many small businesses, right now.

#5This was the last straw for me. I'm migrating to Apple Mail and cancelling workspace ASAP.
ETA: I said nothing about where I'm planning to host my SMTP server. Apple Mail is a provider-agnostic client-side application, like Thunderbird.
ETA2: Those who read TFA carefully will know that, even though this doesn't affect Workspace aliases, it does affect this feature (Send-As SMTP) for workspace accounts.

#6I have a domain and a contact email address for that domain that I have exclusively used through GMail, I guess this means I need to figure out a different path forward for that, then?

With workspace you can add your own custom domains anyway... This seems unrelated.

Yes, that was my first thought. It's wild to me that GMail would support sending as yahoo.com, outlook.com, etc. in the first place. Google makes lots of questionable decisions and shuts down lots of products uncessarily, but this is not a strange or unwarranted move.

Certainly seems intended to drive Workspace subscriptions, but I wonder how many of those users will sign up for Office instead.
