Google Workspace Changes

Simplified email routing settings in the Google Apps Admin console.

Google has introduced a new 'Routing' section under Gmail > Advanced settings > General settings in the Admin console to simplify the email routing experience. This new section consolidates Sending routing, Receiving routing, Outbound gateway, Default routing, and Email routing into a single location. These updated settings also provide enhanced functionality by applying to SMTP-relayed messages and messages sent to email groups, features that were unavailable in the previous settings.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for Gmail is now available for Google Apps Unlimited customers.

Google has introduced Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for Gmail for Google Apps Unlimited customers to prevent sensitive information from being leaked. Admins can set up DLP policies using a library of predefined content detectors (such as credit card numbers) or create custom rules using keywords and regular expressions. The system scans both email text and common attachment types, allowing admins to quarantine emails for review, prompt users to modify content, or block the email entirely.
