\"Sendgrid<\/a>
Sendgrid requires that certain accounts set up a domain whitelabel as part of the account verification process. If you see a green bar at the top, your account has this requirement.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On April 6, 2020, SendGrid changed its sender verification requirements for new accounts created since April 6, 2020. Accounts created after this date are required to verify individual sender addresses or a sender domain. More information on SendGrid’s website here: https:\/\/sendgrid.com\/docs\/for-developers\/sending-email\/sender-identity\/<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/span>If your SendGrid account was created before April 6, 2020, then the following may still apply to you if you were asked to authenticate a domain in order to send emails.<\/em><\/p>\n

Several users have recently reported that when signing up for Sendgrid, so that they can send unlimited emails with Gmail<\/a>, Sendgrid is requiring a domain whitelabel setup<\/a> as part of their verification<\/strong> process. Not doing so limits the Sendgrid account to sending 100 emails\/day.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve discussed this with my Sendgrid contact, who is unaware<\/strong> that this is happening to certain users.<\/p>\n

Until we can get clarity from Sendgrid on why some accounts are required to set up a domain whitelabel, while\u00a0most accounts are not required to do so<\/strong>, we’ve devised a method to\u00a0get around this requirement<\/strong>. In our guide to sending unlimited emails with Gmail<\/a>, we advise against setting up a domain whitelabel<\/strong>, because our evidence shows that it hurts deliverability to begin sending from a completely new domain.<\/p>\n

Therefore, if your Sendgrid account is requiring you to set up a domain whitelabel, and you wish to follow our recommendations of sending without<\/em> a domain whitelabel, here is what you can do:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go\u00a0ahead and set up a domain whitelabel<\/strong> in your Sendgrid account, using any domain that you have control of.<\/li>\n
  2. Once you do so, your Sendgrid account will be verified<\/strong> and the 100 emails\/day limit will be removed.<\/li>\n
  3. Then, simply\u00a0delete the domain whitelabel setting<\/strong>. Your account will remain verified and you’ll be able to send up to your plan’s limits.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
