Can I send marketing emails from a Gmail address?
No. Send from your own authenticated domain. Gmail and Yahoo expect bulk senders to use their own domain with SPF, DKIM and DMARC.
A free mailbox address cannot be authenticated for you, so your mail is more likely to be filtered or rejected.
Set up a branded sending domain in your email platform and use a real, monitored reply address.
In practice.
A founder starts by emailing a list from a personal Gmail account. Messages are filtered and some are rejected. After moving to an authenticated branded domain in an email platform, delivery becomes reliable.
