Hey there! 👋

If you’ve seen the dreaded error message "Google has blocked an outgoing email", don’t panic! This doesn’t mean your Google account has been disabled or blocked entirely. It simply means that the specific email you tried to send was flagged and blocked as a protective measure.

Google temporarily pauses the email address in question to safeguard your sender reputation and prevent any further issues with your account. Let’s explore why this might happen and how to avoid it in the future.

There are several possible reasons why your email was blocked. Here’s a breakdown of the most common ones:

If your past email activities have been flagged as spammy or suspicious, your sender reputation may be compromised. Google’s filters are designed to protect users, and a low reputation can lead to blocked emails.

Some recipients have strict email security measures in place. If their settings block emails from unrecognized senders or those not explicitly whitelisted, your message may be flagged.

Google’s spam filters scan emails for suspicious language, overly promotional content, or elements that mimic spam. If your email content triggers these filters, it may be blocked.

To prevent this issue, follow best practices for email deliverability:
