Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: ISO feedback about HubSpot

[Linda Jacobson (eastbayseniorcommunities]

hi Susan,

Google and Yahoo have some deal on new email marketing sender requirements - 
free accounts can’t configure an email sending domain. You can search for this 
in HubSpot Help for details.

Also: If using the free version of Hubspot, you may have reached your sending 
limit.

If you’re a paying subscriber, Hubspot accommodates mailing to any domains 
anywhere unless blacklisted.

That said, Google tries to prevent spam and fraud by imposing limits on email 
marketing if you’re emailing more than like 10 people. It’s easy to search for 
tips and techniques for getting around that process. 
 
Good luck!
