Overlay / Google Workspace
Keep Workspace for your people. Move product mail off it.
The Google Workspace relay is convenient for an org that lives in Workspace, and it is capped by Google’s quotas and rules and built for human mail, not product or bulk volume. Egressif carries the heavy sending while the relay stays one configured path.
The gap
Where the Workspace relay runs out.
- ▸ The relay is capped by Google’s quotas and sending rules.
- ▸ It is built for your people’s mail, not product or bulk volume.
- ▸ No warming, no reputation tooling, no per-stream isolation.
- ▸ When Google tightens a rule, it becomes a company-wide incident.
How the overlay works
Your ESP becomes one path. We become the layer above it.
What the layer adds
What you gain on top of moving mail.
Monitoring on the wire
We watch the actual responses your sends get from receivers, in real time, across every path. Blocklistings, reputation signals, deferral waves, and auth failures get caught as they happen, not in a weekly export.
Ordered failover
Your providers and our network become ordered paths. When one is blocked or throttled, traffic moves to the next automatically. A single provider having a bad day stops being your outage.
Route engineering
Decide how mail leaves: which path per destination, priority for time-sensitive messages, per-receiver throttles, separate lanes per stream. Routing becomes something you configure, not something a single vendor decides for you.
Suppression at the gate
Bounces, complaints, and do-not-contact requests are enforced beneath every application and every path, so an upstream mistake cannot send to someone who already opted out.
Evidence per message
For every message: which server accepted it, when, over what TLS, with the verbatim response, retained on your terms rather than expiring in a provider’s short window.
One provider for the whole stack
DNS, mailboxes, and sending under one operator instead of a different vendor for each layer. Fewer seams, and one team accountable when something breaks instead of a finger-pointing call.
Consolidated view
Every stream and every path in one place: what sent, what landed, what is at risk. Stop stitching together a separate dashboard per vendor to answer one question.
One vendor, one bill, one API
A single relationship, a single invoice, and one API for provisioning and delivery events, instead of integrating, reconciling, and paying several.
No migration
You keep your provider, your templates, and your code. Point your sending at us and your current setup keeps carrying traffic until you are satisfied.
Stream separation
Transactional and marketing stop sharing a reputation. Each stream earns its own, so a campaign can never sink a password reset.
Keep Google Workspace relay
What stays. What changes.
Workspace stays for what it is great at: your employees’ mail. Product, platform, and volume sending move onto infrastructure designed for it, with the Workspace relay available as one configured path where it genuinely fits.
Two ways to work with us
Overlay today, whole stack later. Both work.
Start as a layer above Google Workspace relay. If you ever want us to own DNS, mailboxes, and the network too, the path is already there.
Managed
We run it for you.
Routing, suppression, warming, reputation, and incident response are ours. You get plain-language reporting on what happened and what we did. The email part of your week goes quiet.
Self-serve
You drive it.
Provision domains and mailboxes, set routing and fallbacks, and pull delivery data through the console and API. The same engine, operated by your team, at your pace.
FAQ
Running Google Workspace relay? Answered.
Should we stop using the Workspace relay?
No, keep it for your people’s mail. The overlay moves product and bulk sending onto infrastructure built for it, and keeps the relay as one path where it makes sense.
What happens when Google changes a sending rule?
On the overlay, that is a configuration change on our side rather than a company-wide incident on yours, and other paths keep carrying traffic.
Does this touch our employees’ mailboxes?
No. People’s mail stays in Workspace. We operate your application and product sending, separately from your staff’s day-to-day email.
