This is a continuation to @sscaz thread about using Cloudflare to receive emails to a Gmail account.

Now for those who are looking to send email through Gmail from the website email address. Here is the method:

1. Go to https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords and create an app. You can name your App whatever you can and then you will get a generated password. Save this password because you will need this later.

2. Now go to Cloudflare> website > DNS and edit the TXT with content starting like this: "v=spf1...". Replace the content with "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:_spf.mx.cloudflare.net ~all".

If you don't have such a TXT record, then you can create one with Name as website.com and TTL set to Auto.

3. Now go to Gmail > Settings > See all Settings > Accounts and Import. Now in the "Send mail as", click on "Add another email address".

In the window, choose any name you would like to display as your profile name and fill the website email address.

4. In the next window, fill SMTP server as "smtp.gmail.com", username as your primary gmail address in which you are adding the email and paste the password you previously created with the google app.

Click on "Add Account" and confirm in the next step.

Voila! Now you can send emails in gmail through your website email address. I have added many email addresses like that.
 
Wow, this is gold. Just another way to send unlimited transactional emails via Gmail SMTP through your business email, all free.

A valuable alternative to the free business Zohomail. Thanks OP. Will surely try this out.
