Here are some things that people will suggest that are unacceptable:

Have the dnalounge.com MX record point to some Google thing and let them take over 100% of my company's email. Fuck no. Also it wouldn't integrate with our internal systems, store, transactional emails, bounce processing, etc.

Why is that unacceptable? "Fuck no" is not a reason for it being unacceptable, and having to build out integrations when things change is part of the job.


You want business email? Well you host it yourself, pay someone to manage it in house, or pay someone to manage it externally. Using loopholes to get free end-user emails was bound to stop working eventually; just pay for Google workspaces, keep the same familiarity for your employees and now have heightened control over how Google uses your data.
