Email Sender Domain restrictions
Why am I unable to add email addresses with the "gmail.com" or "googlemail.com" domain when adding primary contacts to Zoho Backstage?
The restriction on using the "gmail.com" or "googlemail.com" domain as a sender domain for primary contacts is a proactive measure in Zoho Backstage in alignment with
updated email sender guidelines from Google. It is recommended to promptly update primary contact information to ensure compliance with these upcoming changes and maintain uninterrupted email delivery.
When will this change be enforced in Backstage?
This update will be fully implemented for existing primary contacts with "gmail.com" or "google.mail.com" by February 1, 2024.
What should I do to ensure my emails are delivered successfully?
We recommend updating the sender domains for all primary contacts with authenticated corporate domains that have SPF and DKIM authentication to ensure optimal deliverability.
What happens if I don't update the primary contacts' email domain by February 1, 2024?
If this update is not done by the specified date, Zoho Backstage will automatically use our default email address (
noreply@zohobackstage.com) for these contacts to ensure uninterrupted email delivery.
