Gmail to end support for "Send as" for third-party addresses, such as @yahoo.com • Hacker News Board

As someone who uses their personal Gmail account to forward emails from custom domains to (via MXRoute and other email providers), losing the ability to "Send as" from the given adresses from Gmail means I will have to find an entirely new "home base" for email (and paradoxically start forwarding my peronal Gmail emails these instead?), right? Similarly to losing Inbox many years ago, this really sucks.

Same problem here. Forwarding domains into Gmail and using Send as worked fine until it didn't.

I ended up building my own solution (Mailyond) to have all my product domains under one place.

What solution are you looking at?

Whelp. I’ve been using Gmail since it was invite only. Sending as my personal domain was grandfathered in. This is going to be my push to leave for another service. I wonder if they understand or intend that?

I 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?

Same, although I have multiple domains

Are you looking at a real mailbox provider, or trying to keep Gmail somehow?
