If you're sending mail to subscribers in Japan, you need to know that the Goo mail service is no more.
Goo has been around rather a long time. Owned by NTT Docomo, it has existed in some form or another since May 1999, though I'm not exactly sure when email service was first provider.
And now, it's shutting down. As Docomo indicates here, users of the goo.jp email domain will no longer have access to those mail accounts as of February 26, 2026. In theory mail to those subscribers will be rejected; and there's no mention of an email forwarding option. Even if mail does not bounce back, email senders may want to suppress this domain going forward, as it sounds like it'll be for naught.
