#GMail is harmful to e-mail ecosystem; its antispam blocking policy matches too many valid messages as spam.

It blocked LastPass email leak warning email, because it contained "a link" to a leaked site.

It blocked an e-mail from goverment agency addressed directly to me.

It discriminates all non-gmail servers, and it's pretty much impossible to own a private SMTP server these days, because GMail will classify everything as spam.

It's not how e-mail should work.

Consider dropping GMail.

@antekone It's not impossible to run your own email server. I personally use authsmtp.com/ for sending mail, which works fine. And I've also found that once you setup dkim and SPF, Gmail doesn't block any of my big name VPS providers. I haven't done a lot of testing with that. But I've yet to see it not work.
