    Advice Gmail stopped the smtp relay so now what?

    Gmail have stopped the addition of any new smtp accounts for relay.

    I have my gmail address say user@gmail.com which i added my domain to so my email now comes from paul@mydomain.co.uk instead of the user@gmail address.

    Gmail have said all the current relays set will be unaffected but no new relays can be added without adding from a SMTP account.

    any advice on what i can do now?
    I don't want to buy hosting for another domain name just to send email i already have 6 packages.

    Can i do it through another mail provider?

    Default Re: Gmail stopped the smtp relay so now what?

    Is it not simply because SMTP has now been replaced by IMAP? I thought Google was ditching SMTP in favour of that. Don't use it myself as I just now use Gmail as my main email.

    Thanks to DejaVu

    Well it looks like I'm moving from gmail now to outlook as that has allowed me to create the alias email address I wanted.
