This almost makes me want to go through the experiment of setting up a legit email server with all the various authentication mechanisms and see if I could even get one email through to google or protonmail
- Habgdnv 3y agoI just set up a brand new server with a never-before-used IP address. I set up SPF, DMARC, and DKIM, created a brand new account with a fake name, and sent an email to my Gmail account. Within 3 seconds of being in transit, the email landed straight in my inbox with 0% doubt of it being spam. [Edit]: Forgot to mention that the IP is home IP, not cloud provider/hosting or something. And as as sidee note: the problem lies with the users and not with the email sender. For instance, if I send an important email to someone about an item they ordered from my site, and they tell me to send it to their gmail account, I connect to gmail to send the email, but if Gmail rejects it, I have fulfilled my part of the deal. If an email is marked as spam or rejected, it's on the recipient's end, not the sender's. The sender did not flag the message as spam before it is sent, the recipient did it after receiving it.
- CRConrad 3y ago> the email landed straight in my inbox with 0% doubt of it being spam. So 100% certainty of it being spam? Was that the correct judgment, in your opinion?
- Avamander 3y agoYou absolutely can. Yahoo and O365/Outlook would be actually difficult, but you can build up reputation with those as well. Making it through small providers' filters will be your endless battle though.
