Changelog

New explainer at /gmail-send-as-ending covering Google's January 2027 sunset of Gmail's native "Send mail as," what still works after the change, and what doesn't.

Sending only — a new choice when you add a domain. You add 4 DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC and a bounce record) and no MX, so your current provider keeps delivering all your mail. You can send as any address on the domain; replies go to your existing inbox as they always have.

The setup wizard now checks where your domain's mail currently goes and recommends sending-only when it finds an existing provider — instead of warning you that switching would stop delivery and leaving you no way around it.

Switch a domain between sending-only and send + receive whenever you like, from the domain page. Turning receiving on walks you through adding the MX record and asks where replies should go; turning it off asks you to move your MX first and verifies that before switching, so no mail can be lost in the changeover.

Setup for a sending-only domain skips the inbound delivery test, since there's no inbound mail to test — you go straight from picking your address to connecting Gmail.

DNS health now shows MX as "not used" on sending-only domains rather than flagging it as broken and prompting you to re-add a record you deliberately don't have.

Send Limits card on every domain detail page — real-time daily and hourly counts (refreshes every 5 seconds) with the current tier and reset windows.

Tier-precise send-limit copy across the home FAQ and pricing FAQ, including a new entry on what actually happens when you hit a limit (your mail is held and auto-retried — it isn't lost).

Dashboard counts now read live from the SMTP server instead of a 15-minute-stale cache. Usage ticks up immediately after Gmail accepts an outgoing message.

Domain detail layout refreshed — Status, Forwarding, and Send Limits sit on a single row at wide widths, with simplified Tier 0 / Tier 1 badges and a cleaner forwarding card.

Delete-domain confirmation now adapts to your setup mode. Records-mode users see exactly what we revoke versus what stays at their DNS host instead of the old 'Cloudflare zone' wording.

Plan upgrades and downgrades through Polar now propagate to send-limit enforcement immediately, no manual intervention needed.

MX and SPF on records-mode domains were turning red on health-check rechecks despite correct DNS — the checker was hardcoded to nameserver-mode expectations. Now branches by setup mode.

Pro accounts whose domains had auto-upgraded to Tier 1 were stuck at 50/day instead of 500/day. The SMTP server wasn't persisting the Pro flag, so the trust-tier cron defaulted everyone to the Free cap. Fixed and backfilled.

Outbound-verification email at the end of records-mode setup was silently failing for every user. The SMTP plugin relied on global fetch, which isn't exposed in the plugin sandbox; rewritten using the built-in HTTPS module.

Verify-as test sends no longer briefly inflate the daily count by one for ~15 minutes after running.

Hourly counters in admin reports now sync from the SMTP server alongside daily counters; the welcome email after activation is correctly attributed as a system send.

Numbers that update live (send counts, last-checked timestamps) no longer reflow as digits change.

Dark mode — toggle in the sidebar header; preferences persist and respect your system setting.

Support chat implemented.

New step-by-step add-domain wizard replaces the old single-page form, with help text and guard rails at every step.

Auto-detect your domain registrar (RDAP + IP2WHOIS fallback) and surface the right nameserver-change guide with a prominent CTA.

Auto-detect your website host (Vercel, Netlify, Framer, Shopify, and more) via DNS fingerprinting and pre-select it for you.

A founder-plan upgrade card in the sidebar for free users — $29/yr, unlimited domains, price locked forever.

Always-visible setup video on the Add Domain page so you can follow along live.

Public changelog at /changelog with a 'What's New' chip in the sidebar.

Domain input now strips https://, http://, and www. automatically — paste the full URL, we clean it up.

Non-Gmail forwarding addresses now get a clear bullet-point warning explaining Send-As limitations for non-Workspace inboxes.

Stepper in the add-domain wizard now shows the domain you're configuring as a pill, so you always know the context.

Domains already on another Cloudflare account now surface a helpful removal guide instead of a dead-end error.

Confirmation dialog when you claim a domain has no website, to prevent accidental downtime on live sites.

Add a custom domain with automatic Cloudflare DNS, MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC setup.

Create unlimited aliases on your domain (hello@, support@, anything@) that forward to Gmail.

Send-As credentials auto-generated so you can send from your custom address directly inside Gmail.

Rate limiting, bounce tracking, and trust tiers to keep sender reputation healthy.

Free plan (one domain) and a Founder paid plan with unlimited domains.
