About Gmail External Recipient Warning
Gmail warns you about external recipients only when they are not in your
contacts. That leaves the most dangerous case uncovered: the outside person you
have emailed before, whose name sits right next to a colleague's in
auto-complete.
This extension checks the To, Cc and Bcc fields as you type and shows a bar at
the top of the compose window naming any recipient outside the domains you
trust.
- Works even when the recipient is already in your contacts
- Highlights look-alike domains in red (yourcompanyy.com vs yourcompany.com)
- Highlights an outside address sharing a first name with an internal recipient
- Checks To, Cc and Bcc, in new messages, replies and forwards
- Trust whole domains, or single addresses at an otherwise external domain
- An on/off switch, and no setup beyond entering your domain
It never blocks sending. There is no pop-up and no confirmation step - the
extension only displays a bar, and it does not interact with the Send button at
all.
Your settings stay in your browser. The extension does not collect, transmit or
store the contents of your email.
