Mailboxes & deliverability

Deliverability basics: SPF, DKIM, DMARC

The DNS records every sending domain needs.

  • SPF lists the servers allowed to send for your domain (a TXT record starting with v=spf1).
  • DKIM signs your emails cryptographically; enable it in your email provider and publish the TXT record it gives you.
  • DMARC tells receivers what to do when SPF/DKIM fail; start with p=none and a reporting address, then tighten.

Deliverability → Domains checks these records for you. Beyond DNS: send relevant emails to verified addresses, keep volumes steady, honor unsubscribes instantly and watch bounce rates. No tool can guarantee inbox placement.
