Doing so is against Google’s terms of service, and you will very quickly run into rate limits.

Set up one of the recommended providers instead:

### Recommended Email Providers for Discourse

We strongly recommend using a dedicated email service. Email server setup and maintenance is _very_ difficult even for experienced system administrators, and getting any part of the complex required email setup wrong means your email won't be delivered, or worse, delivered erratically.

The following are template configurations for email service providers known to work with Discourse.

_The pricing information is included as a courtesy, and may be out of date. Discourse does not control the pricing for external services, be sure to check with the email provider for up to date pricing information._

**Please note that in any email provider, you _must_ verify and use the subdomain, e.g. `discourse.example.com`. If you verify the domain only, e.g. `example.com`, mail will not be configured correctly.**

Enter these values when prompted by `./discourse-setup` per the [install guide](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md#edit-discourse-configuration). To change the current email service, run `./discourse-setup` as well (this will bring the forum offline for a few minutes while it gets rebuilt).
