Why are my emails going to the spam folder?

If your emails are ending up in the junk/spam folder, it's likely due to stricter email security rules from providers like Gmail and Yahoo.

These rules rely on a system called DMARC to check if emails are legitimate. In this article, we’ll explain why this is happening and how to fix it.

What is DMARC?

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) is a security feature that helps protect your emails from being spoofed by spammers. It works with two other tools: SPF and DKIM, which verify that emails are coming from a trusted source and haven’t been altered. Without DMARC, your emails may be flagged as spam or blocked by providers like Gmail and Yahoo. 

How Do I Fix This?

To ensure your emails get delivered, you need to set up DMARC for your domain. The easiest way to do this is by contacting your email service provider and asking them to configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for your account.

Here’s What to Do:

  1. Contact your email provider's support team and ask them to confirm or update SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for your domain.

  2. They’ll handle the technical setup for you, ensuring your emails pass security checks and are delivered to your clients' inboxes

Setting up DMARC with your email provider is key to making sure your emails reach your clients. If you’re unsure how to do this, just reach out to your provider’s support team for assistance. It’s a simple fix that can significantly improve your email deliverability.
