So instead of just sending someone email, I would need to go to some random awkward looking website, type in their email to that website (with no idea what this website is going to do with all these email addresses it collects), and then I can send an email, which the receiver then needs to access via Google Sheets.

Sure, this will block all spam emails.

It will also block 99.99% of every other emails, because no one is going to do all these awkward steps to send someone an email.

You can send someone a regular email if you want. This way is to have a priority inbox, to make sure the email is received.

The steps are becoming less awkward as I keep building. The latest iteration has less steps than in the video.

And I totally agree that the website seems awkward.

I appreciate your feedback.
