For any critical email delivery make sure you can address this thing with the mailsender of choise:
1)SPF,
2)DKIM,
3)DMARC [2] (DMARC is often forgotten or can be super noisy when set up. Postmarc offers a aggregation service for free that sends you a weekly summary),
4)Dedicated IP
5)Reverse IP look up [1] (locate a dns PTR record for that IP address) should match the sender.
Not everyone supports 5).
4 and 5 is what you end up paying for, but totally worth it.
Sendgrid, SES, Mailgun etc.

- joshstrange 3y agoAnd 1 surprising thing (to me) is some places (iCloud was what bit me) alway want you to be able to receive email (have MX records). Even though I have no need to support incoming emails iCloud was blocking my sending until I got that setup. The incoming emails just go to a black hole but that's enough.
