I'm surprised anyone's been getting through at all without perfectly configured SPD, DKIM, and DMARC. I've had a well configured self-hosted personal email server for years and still struggle to get through sometimes, though it does seem to be getting better.
- xoneill 3y agoI've been wrestling with this for years as well. I hope with these guidelines being published / transparent by the big 3, things behave consistently.
- theK 3y ago> perfectly configured SPD, DKIM, and DMARC Just having them perfectly configured doesn't mean that the receiving servers will also see it that way. Microsoft servers are particularly prone to randomly failing perfectly fine dkim setups for no reason whatsoever.
- hsbauauvhabzb 3y ago‘Randomly’ when you just happen to not be part of the mail cartel, they just can’t say that.
- shsbdncudx 3y agoBecause it’s not just about configuration, it’s also about reputation and a low sending volume you are in danger of getting dropped merely out of not being a well known sender
- StayTrue 3y ago“Prove you’re not a spammer by sending a larger volume of emails.” True and diabolical.
- jesterson 3y agoI am surprised people think deliverability consists of configuring SPF (SPD is Seattle police), DKIM and DMARC. Spammers can do exactly same given low entry barrier. It's important but have very little connection to deliverability in real world.
- layer8 3y agoDKIM hasn’t been necessary in my experience, and is still not necessary according to the new Google guidelines if you use SPF.
