What are the risks of using Gmail for sending email from Craft CMS? In Craft's documentation for email it says:


  Gmail might be a good option depending on your appetite for risk.


But I don't see anything about what the risks are. Is there a risk of getting hacked, or just an increased likelihood of messages not getting through?

I have a small and internal user base, so Gmail might work for me, but I'm trying to make a quick decision and this is making me have to dig for info so I don't make a bad call.

It's mostly tongue-in-cheek, I think.

When sending emails from Craft using Gmail, Craft uses SMTP, which Gmail considers "insecure", hence the reason they make you enable the "less secure apps" from your Google account.
