You can technically — but you shouldn't once you pass a handful of people. Here's the plain truth.
Why it matters: Gmail's bulk rules now expect newsletters to come from your own domain ([email protected]), not a free @gmail.com. Sending bulk from free Gmail gets throttled fast.
— Buy a domain (~$12/year) if you don't have one.
— Use an email platform (Mailchimp, MailerLite) connected to that domain.
— Send a quick test to yourself before any real campaign.
✅ Today, check whether your sending address ends in your own domain.
A domain address is like having business letterhead instead of scribbling on a napkin — it just reads as legitimate.
